Offsides by Jami Davenport ~ New Release and Review


He's the beast, and she's the beauty of his past.
Offsides by Jami Davenport is AVAILABLE NOW!
He's the beast, and she's the beauty of his past. After twelve years in the league, all Zach Murphy wants is a championship ring. His focus has been on hard hits–not smooth manners; about breaking quarterbacks–not making small talk at cocktail parties. After dumping a tray of drinks on the team owner’s daughter and accidentally feeling up the governor’s wife, his tenure with his team looks perilously short. Kelsie Carrington-Richmond knows what it's like to fall from grace. A onetime beauty pageant star and former high-school mean girl, she's now destitute and one step from living out of her car. With few real job skills, she focuses on starting her new business, Charm School for Real Men. She's thrilled to land her first clients, the Seattle Steelheads, who have hired her to polish their roughest player. Except…it’s Zach. The same guy whose broken heart she left in her wake when she was still a mean girl. He’s just the beast she remembers—but she’s nothing like the beauty queen she once was. Can they get beyond their pasts? Or will they both find themselves offsides? Previously published as Down by Contact in 2013. This version has been updated, re-written, and re-edited.

Elizabeth's Review


3.5 stars - Worth a Reader's Time




Review Copy Provided by Author


Zach and Kelsie have history from high school and it’s not a great one. Fast forward 12 years and their economic circumstances have flip flopped. The poor kid is now a successful football player and the rich, mean girl is now struggling to restart her life.

The set up for their reconnection is a bit far fetched, but the story that follows is sweet. Both Zach and Kelsie have a lot of emotional growing to that almost gets in the way of happily ever after.

I enjoyed seeing them together and seeing the efforts they go through for each other even when they aren’t sure they want to. As the third in a series, there is a good opportunity to see previous staring characters and their significant role as secondary characters.
