Game For Love (Game For Love Series - Book 1) (Bad Boys of Football 3)

Anna, School teacher, and Cole, NFL superstar, are complete opposites who marry for the wrong reasons. One: dying wish fulfilled. Two: proof of unpredictable. Oh, and they are total strangers. Their attraction is instant. Their chemistry is flaming. And they just might make this work...or not. You'll enjoy finding out. (3RW Team Yellow Review)

I read the SEP series for Chicago Stars loved them and was so grateful to find Bella Andre's 'Bad Boys' books. They're more erotic than SEP's and I'm fine with that. Will read more from this author.

This book kept me interested. Bella Andre invovles the reader and brings them into the book. I felt like I was living the book as I was reading. I couldn't put it down. I am excited about reading other books by Bella Andre.

From almost the very beginning this book keeps you wanting MORE!!! It has defenetly been one of my Favorites by this author.... I would say it's a deffinate read if You want HOT SEX and finally LOVE.!!!!!!

I cautiously purchased this based on the synopsis and the five star review rating. I had not read any Bella Andre works prior. I was captured by the characters and did not want to put it down. Very erotic, but the characters were developed and enjoyable.

I am an avid reader and enjoy all romance novels. I just could not finish this book. The story line was nonexitence all it was one sex scene after another. Not that I am a prude but too much of a good thing is too much. I was to the point of being stupid. It would have been alot better if she would expanded alittle on the characters and the storyline than just being a porn novel.

I have enjoyed several of this authors books but this one is not one of her best. Both Anna and Cole are not believable and the relationship does not work. I found myself looking forward to the end of the book. My advise skip it.....

"Game For Love" by Bella Andre

Book Description...

"In a relationship built on lies...the only truth is their feelings for each other.

To fulfill his grandmother's dying wish, linebacker Cole Taylor must find and marry a good girl. First grade teacher Anna Davis fits the bill perfectly. Their deal is simple: If she'll be his temporary wife, he'll give her more pleasure than she ever imagined was possible.

Only, love is the ultimate game-changer."

What I liked about the novel.....

I thought this was a good love story of Anna Davis and Cole Taylor and you will find once you start reading it you will not want to put it down until the end. The main part of this storyline was of Cole's who was a football player's dying grandmother wanting to see him married and settled down with a 'good girl.' How was Cole to make that happen when he date everything but 'good girls'? For Anna who had been in Vegas for his sister's wedding seemed to the odd girl in the family...being boring as oh yes very predicable. What will she do to break out of this shell that she seems to be in? Well she meets Cole and this is where this story take off. Is this the 'good girl' that Cole needs to help him pull of this situation for his grandmother? What will happen as Anna finds out more about Cole as they will be united in Holy Matrimony? Will this marriage last since it looks like this is a marriage of convenience? There will be a lots going on in this read for these two as they bring in their family and friends into their situation. You will just have to pick up this good read to see for yourself how this author will bring out "Game For Love" to the readers. It will a very interesting read seeing how these two will break down their walls with each other. I found the read a sweet , humorous read and also I do not want to fail to mention the hot steamy sex scenes that seem to explode off the pages.

Would I recommend? Yes, this is another one of this author's good love stories!

Cole Taylor would do everything to make his grandmother happy and that's why he is looking for a "good" girl to marry. Normaly the rich and famous linebacker prefers spending time with groupies so finding the right woman in one day is not so easy. When he sees Anna Davis for the first time he knows that she would make the perfect bride.
Anna Davis is tired of being the "good" girl and always doing exactly what others expect of her. For once she wants to do something crazy. When she meets sexy Cole she feels like she's dreaming and before the night is over they are married and spent an amazingly hot time together. But what will happen when Anna learns why Cole married her and when both realize that there's more between them than just lust?

When I saw on twitter that Bella Andre had published a third book in her Bad Boys of Football series I was excited to read it. I enjoyed books one and two in the series and especially liked the mix of interesting characters, a good story and the sexy scenes. "Game for love" fits perfectly in the series and is actually my favourite.
Right from the first pages on I enjoyed reading about Anna and Cole. I liked both of them and could understand why they acted the way they did. Their first night together felt a bit dream-like and was amazingly hot. Anna and Cole are at first glance total opposites but they share the same beliefs and love their families. At times it was frustrating to read how they both doubted their relationship because as the reader I knew that both were in love with each other. In the end I had a lot of fun while reading how Anna and Cole solved their issues and was very happy with how the book ended.
The sex scenes in this book are amazingly hot and very well written. The balance between the hot scenes and the story felt just right to me. I enjoyed that both Anna and Cole were strong characters and that she learned to go after what she wants.
To enjoy this book it's no must to read the first two books on the Bad Boys of Football - series but if you like hot romances with a sports theme then you will enjoy them. And you don't have to be a football fan to enjoy this book.

cover
I like it but IMO it's a bit simple. I prefer the covers of books #1 and #2 in the series.

final appraisal
"Game for love" fits perfectly in the Bad Boys of Football - series. I enjoyed everything about this book and especially the relationship between the main characters. The book is hot, very entertaining and lovely.

Football linebacker Cole Taylor has one goal: To fulfill his grandmother's dying wish to see her grandson happy with a woman he loves.

Fortunately for him, Cole has a million women to choose from. But not a single beauty is the right woman for him.

Setting out to search for this woman, he finds Anna Davis, a sensible first grade teacher whose life is simply and easy. But once they set their eyes on each other, sparks fly and both of them seem to lose their heads. Neither one happy with the way their lives are at the moment, they decide to take matters in their own hands and do something about it.

Their first tactic? Get married.

Bella Andre writes some of the best contemporary romances out there today and her erotic take on these sexy football players have definitely caught my interests. While I don't think this is my favorite of Bella Andre's work, I still think it's worth reading. There's undeniable chemistry and a fun storyline.

The things Cole and Anna do are so outrageous and impulsive that it was kind of liberating to read about. They are two people aren't happy with their lives and they become fed up with just settling. Instead, they take a leap and find that there is truth to their love after all even though it started out as a lie.

The story seems very unlikely. I like contemporary romance that doesn't read like a teenagers idea of romance with erotica that sounds like it comes from a mens periodical...very disappointed. I usually will purchase all the books in any series but I gave up after book two...

This book was wonderful. I could not put it down until I was finished. I fell in love with Anna and Cole. This romance was just full of love and hot sex. If I wasnt married...then this book would have had me in Vegas looking for love. Read this series..you will fall in love and need something cold to drink to cool yourself down.

I enjoyed the fantasy of this novel. Even though I read negative reviews stating the obvious things that many do in fictional novels, such as: its unbelievable or that would never happen. Let's remember this...it's fiction. I'm giving it five stars for the hotness alone! She's a great writer. I've read many of her books and they keep getting better. This one was fantastic. Who wouldn't want to marry the national, prime-time quarterback and have steamy *** for the rest of your life with his kind of body. I dare you to deny it. So yes, it's fiction...enjoy it.

Game for Love is Awesome...The story line flows really well, it's hot, sexy and romantic!!! The words opposites attract, love at first site and unknown excitement come to mind while reading this book. This whole series is great and I hope there is more to come from Bella Andre and the Bad Boys of Football.

Wow! Bella Andre sure knows how to keep you hooked on a book and not being able to put it down! An unlikely strong emotional connection between Cole bad boy of football and Sweet Anna! A beautiful love story that made me laugh and cry all at once! I couldn't put the book down once I started it had to finish it!! And I lived it!

Cole makes you look at football players in a whole new light! He is hot, and shows Anna a side she never knew she had. I didn't like how he just assumed her to stay by his side, when his ulterior motives came to light, but Anna seemed to be pretty accepting, and in the end...well, I can't tell you that.

Really loved the two main characters. The book was sexy and fun, a great entertaining read for a weekend! Lots of hot sex scenes and some heartwarming scenes too. I really loved the possessiveness of the hero. So hot!

The non-existent plot, shallow inane characters, and really boring, predictable sex scenes make this book ' The worst book I've ever read!' It's only worthy of 0.125 star for the time the author put into writing and editing this trash.
