IT’S EASY TO TAKE ONE DARE WHEN YOU THINK IT’S HARMLESS.
Ashley Dryden-Jones is the best rugby player on the field—when I take a dare I instantly regret, I had no way of knowing he was a gentleman. An athlete. British with no plans to stay in the States.
He makes me forget myself, bruises, 5 o’clock shadow, accent and all.
He makes me forget I cannot crawl into bed with him at night—or get drunk and throw caution to the wind for once in my overly cautious life.
Because he’s my new roommate.
ONE STUPID BET LEADS TO ONE UNFORGETTABLE NIGHT.
When I win a trip to Vegas I need a plus one; he’s the strapping, strong and responsible choice. Besides—I’ve never been anywhere and he has.
He is the best friend I didn’t know I needed.
Ashley is one of the good ones—but I’m about to find out how bad this good boy can be.
Jock Royal is Sara Ney’s newest standalone in her Jock Hard series. Sara has really found her niche is writing the entertaining sports romances with unique plots characters.
I really enjoyed this story. It was like a breath of fresh air. Georgia (Georgie) and Ashley (Ash) are two opposites in so many ways but as things progress, have more in common than face value. Their initial meeting is one for the books but it also kickstarts their uncanny relationship.
There is so much to love about both Georgie and Ash. They are fiercely independent and dedicated to the sports they are in. I love that while Georgie isn’t exactly sure where she is going after college, she still maintains a level head and is mature in her actions. Ash knows that he will be moving back to his home country and putting his degree to work with his family business.
What I loved most was how their relationship transitioned throughout this whole book. It was natural and moved at a perfect pace. I truly enjoyed how authentic everything was and I felt connected to the book. Sara gave us the perfect blend of drama/angst with the humor and reality of life.
Jock Royal is the perfect read for anyone who enjoys a sweet romance that will leave you feeling giddy.
Among her favorite vices, she includes: iced lattes, historical architecture and well-placed sarcasm. She lives colorfully, collects vintage books, art, loves flea markets, and fancies herself British.
