Phoebe Summerville was stunned when her father left her his NFL football team. They had been estranged for years. Of course, there is a stipulation that she can't keep the team unless the Stars win the AFC Championship. The biggest problem is Phoebe knows absolutely nothing about football. Head Coach Dan Calebow is not happy with his new boss. He feels she is a bimbo and sees his chance for the Super Bowl slipping down the drain. Dan is ready to find a maternal woman to settle down and raise a family with him. So why does his mind keep returning to Phoebe?

This is the first book in the Stars Football series and it's a winner. Phoebe may act like a sexpot, but she is actually a woman who is hiding a secret from her past and is afraid of being hurt again. Dan is coming off a divorce from a powerful woman who likes sex games. He just wants to find a down-to-earth woman and doesn't think Phoebe fits that description.

I first read this book over 10 years ago and loved it. I'm happy to say it stands up to time. My rating: 5 Stars.
