ABOUT THE BOOK:

Billy’s not my baby daddy, but he doesn’t mind pretending to be…

I’m a Division 1 cheerleader with hopes of becoming a sports broadcaster. None of my plans for college include getting knocked up by a cheating ex who just got engaged to another girl.

When my father finds out I’m pregnant, he goes ballistic. That’s when my BFF, bad boy Billy Babcock, comes to my rescue and agrees to “take responsibility.”

Billy and I solidify our contract on a napkin—he’ll pretend to be my baby’s father, and I’ll help him clean up his image. The only problem is my father, the football coach, hates Billy. He warned me off dating players a long time ago, and he thinks Billy’s the biggest player out there.

Now that we’re in a “relationship,” Billy thinks we should spend some quality naked time together, but I’m worried about crossing that line. Because athletic guys with big muscles, intricate tattoos, and sexy smirks are my biggest weakness, and Billy ticks off all those boxes.

Can my football player “boyfriend” walk the straight and narrow for me?

Or did I just get handed off from one heartbreaker to another?

Heartbreaker Handoff is an angsty, friends-to-lovers, forbidden romance featuring a sassy cheerleader, who’s about to be a single mother, and a criminally charming football player determined to prove he’s the man for her, one sizzling kiss at a time. Heartbreaker Handoff is a dual POV standalone in the USA Today-bestselling series Varsity Dads.

Heartbreaker Handoff by Lex Martin
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I’ve read every single book in this series and I would swear to you that no one would replace Ben as my favorite man but here we are. The sweet and caring heart he has and the way he gave his all to Roxy when she needed him the most and didn’t expect anything in return combined with his wicked humor and dirty mouth makes him the perfect book boyfriend. This review will not do him justice because he was all that and then some.

Now let’s talk about girl Roxy. She was dealt a crappy hand with her ex. But the show must go on and she is ready to do all it takes to ensure that she and her baby are taken care of. But when Billy offers to help her she’s resisting but soon is all in, because she saw just how special he is. But being in love is not always enough and they’re both put to a test to see if what they feel for each other could withstand the problems that life will throw at them.

This series is one of my favorites and I’m excited to see our next single dad tackle his chance at HEA.
