fine Prescott sports romance

In Detroit former NBA star Ralph Prescott enjoys being a highly desired "all pro" player when it comes to slam bam scoring with women. Although used to females making shocking proposals, he is stunned when the queen of responsible behavior good girl Vanessa Grant offers him the proposition of being his lover; she pledges to herself he will not break her heart. He accepts. However, his behavior is far from the roguish cad she expected whose only asset is in bed. Instead, he is there for her and her family during a crisis caused by a rat who once dated her late mother. To her chagrin she falls in love with the kind hunk, but refuses to believe he reciprocates. He knows the clock is running out on his chances of proving to his beloved they belong together. The third Motor City Prescott sports romance (see UNFORGETTABLE and AN EVERLASTING LOVE) stars two strong protagonists who in spite of their deep sexual attraction initially believe they have nothing else between them; especially wanting no part of Prescott is Vanessa while he wants no overtime. The story line is fast-paced and deep actually because of her family troubles caused by a clever villain. Fans will say yes to Bette Ford's engaging drama that effortlessly switches from the bedroom to the courtroom as Ralph proves to be much more than a womanizing former pro athlete. Now if Ms. Ford can use an even more shocking athlete in her next Prescott family saga. Harriet Klausner

Thank you Bette Ford!! You did not disappointed me. This last installment is perfect. Vanessa and Ralph were perfect. Vanessa knew Ralph as the player and Ralph saw Vanessa as in innocent. They did know each other well and that is why they did not want to be in a relationship with each other. I truly understand why Vanessa did not trust Ralph when he started to really care for her. His family, reputation, and his own words testified to the fact. You could only admire Vanessa for protecting her heart and her family's heart. The story of the twins father really helped with the story. Again, it was perfect. I believe this story was well written and was a true continuation of the series. Ms. Ford incorperates the other two books perfectly by mentioning very important scenes from the past to bring you up to day. THIS WILL DEFINITELY BE ONE OF MY REREADS! I am truly looking forward to Ms. Ford's next book.
