Ballbuster (A Playing Dirty Sports Romance Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Lane Hart (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars (1,257)

Out of all the football stadiums in the world, why did Roxanne “The Ballbuster” Benson have to plow through mine?

Don’t get me wrong. I’m all for women playing professional football. But what I’m not for is The Ballbuster waltzing onto my field, trying to take over my position as the Wildcats’ starting kicker. The woman dislocated my knee with her freaking Jeep, for chrissake, and yet all of my teammates love her!

So what if Roxy’s…gorgeous and sweet and loves football more than anyone in the world? This is my team; and once I recover, she’s gonna have to get used to sitting her fine ass on the bench. It’s nothing personal. Football is a dirty sport where only the best survive.

Now I just have to figure out how to survive a season without ending up with a busted heart; because despite how hard I try to avoid falling for Roxy, she keeps pulling me back into her bed.

Forget her Jeep. With one look, the woman can bring me to my knees.

And the worst part is, I keep going back for more.

    5.0 out of 5 stars 🏈 Kohen and Roxy Are A Winning Team! 🏈
    Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2017
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Roxy Benson is the new kicker for the Wildcats pro football team, but she’s not off to a great start. As she’s driving through the parking lot goggling the huge stadium, her SUV hits something. Make that someone. And not just any someone, but Kohen Hendricks, the Wildcat’s kicker whose ranked third in the league – the man she hoped to have as a mentor but some may consider her competition. Now it looks like he’ll be out for the first part of the season due to his knee injury, compliments of Roxy. (Of course, it’s partially his fault since he was Googling Roxy and watching his phone rather than where he was walking.) As much as he’s annoyed by his injury, he can’t help his attraction to the Wildcat’s newest team member. But there’s bound to be a lot of plays run both on and off the field when the coach appoints Kohen as both guard and roommate to the league’s first female player. Sounds like an opportunity for a bit of scoring (sorry), but Kohen has major trust issues where women are concerned. It’s a good thing Roxy is a guileless, big hearted, forgiving kind of gal.

    Lane Hart won my heart with her Cocky Cage Fighters series, and she’s one of my go-to authors for sports romance. This first book in the Playing Dirty series certainly doesn’t disappoint. Told in a lighthearted, sassy style, this one is loads of fun that had me laughing out loud at football euphemisms, while drawing me in with the vivid, complex characters and keeping my attention with a fast paced, interesting story. Definitely a terrific read you’re sure to love, and you’ll want to read on in this series to see what happens with other team members.

    Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2018
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Roxy is the first woman to play in the NFL. She’s had a rough road to get where she is and a lot of distrust of men, understandably, along the way. This is her life’s dream and nothing can ruin it. Except perhaps crashing her car into the current kicker for her new team.

    Kohen is a jumble of mixed thoughts and feelings. He’s attracted to Roxy but the woman ran him over and is now attempting to take his place on the team. As their relationship lengthens and grows, Kohen bounces back and forth between trusting her and trying to figure out her true purpose.

    This hero is certainly an unstable emotional wreck. Everything Roxy seems to do either increases his desire or arouses his suspicions. When distrusting her, Kohen doesn’t hesitate to let his thoughts have free reign to her which causes all sorts of drama and separation between them.
    I loved that Roxy was so strong and independent even while she was sweet despite her job in an all-male field. She was human enough to want to quit at times, but determined enough to keep pushing through. Kohen was quite an a hole and I certainly wanted to whack him on the head for his actions a time or two. Ultimately however, he was a man who had no reason to trust any woman and it was an adjustment to do so.

    This was a fast paced read with lots of steam and great secondary characters. Can’t wait to read Quinton’s story! I would’ve loved a bit longer epilogue that showed Kohen and Roxy further down the road into their relationship, but there’s no denying the ending was perfect for this couple.

    Lane Hart did a great job on this story. The book was well written. Lane Hart is a great Author. She always puts a lot of feelings in her stories. In Ballbuster we get a fun sexy humor read. I love a book that can make me laugh. Kohen is the number one kicker for his team, the Wildcats. Kohen is a great ball player, he's strong, sexy and charming. Roxy loves football more than anything in this world. All she wants, is to be the best, and she is great at the sport. Roxy is sweet, pretty, sassy and strong. Kohen and Roxy have an instant connection. The attraction is strong. I think Kohen and Roxy are perfect together. They have a lot in common, especially football. Kohen and Roxy are a great pair. I enjoyed this story. It's a great story. I recommend reading. Thank you, Lane Hart. Great work :) 5 Stars.

    Lane Hart hooked me with her amazing series The Cocky Cage Fighters, and I just knew that this would be an amazing book

    Kohen Hendricks is the number one kicker in the NFL he plays for the Wildcats, In his last meeting before preseason practice begins he
    and the team is informed that there is a new rookie starting a new placekicker, the only thing that is more surprising is that it is
    a woman, the first woman to ever make it to the pros.
    Roxanne "The Ballbuster" Benson has worked her butt off to become the first female to play in the pros, yes she has gone through Hell to get
    there. and earned her nickname for reasons that you will be surprised to find out but she knows what she is getting into when she signs with the Wildcats. Her first day and what happens she runs over the teams first string kicker Kohen Freakin Hendricks. Now she will be known as the Tanya Hardin of football, Yet when she jumps out of her Jeep to see if Kohen is okay she is instantly attracted to him.
    This story is a continuous amazing read, there is never a dull moment between Kohen and Roxy, or some of the other teammates on the Wildcats. I can tell this is going to be another AMAZING series by Lane Hart, I cannot wait to read What happens now with Quinten, and oh Lathan just won my heart he is so cute. I know his story has to come. and then there is Paxton Roxy's best friend I KNOW he has a story to tell. again this is an amazing start to a new and exciting series

    First time reading this author, and it won’t be the last. I like the dual pov’s. There’s a good story with a strong female who may shed a tear here and there, but she knows who she is, and what her worth is 👍🏼. I give her mad props for understanding what she and Kohen have between one another before he can figured it out for himself. They both have their own baggage to overcome, and with the help of their teammates, they come out the other end with a happy ending. A little steamy 🌶️🌶️🌶️, a few tears, and more than a few chuckles.

    4.0 out of 5 stars História leve e sexy com personagens que cativam
    Reviewed in Brazil on April 10, 2017
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Eu tinha poucas expectativas em relação à este livro e, no entanto, fiquei agradavelmente surpreendida.
    A trama é simples e executada com eficiência. Roxy, Ballbuster, a primeira mulher contratada por um time de futebol profissional se vê as voltas com as responsabilidades da profissão, os preconceitos e o inevitável medo do fracasso.
    No meio de tudo isso, ela ainda tem que lidar com a paixão pelo colega de time Kohen Hendricks, justamente o titular da posição para qual Roxy foi contratada. Kohen é um show de pessoa mas desconfia da sinceridade de Roxy o que leva a desentendimentos e conflitos.
    A história tem bom ritmo e a conclusão me deixou bastante satisfeita. Para ser sincera, a única crítica que eu faço diz respeito aos diálogos, um pouco infantis para a faixa etária dos personagens. Fora isso, eu gostei bastante deste romance. Tanto os personagens principais quanto os secundários conquistaram minha atenção e simpatia logo no primeiro capitulo. A história é sexy e romântica, na medida.
    Diversão garantida para quem está procurando um romance leve com personagens simpáticos.

    I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It had an original premise - the female lead joins a football team as the first female player. The tensions in this situation, both positive and negative, are well described. The developing, sexy romance was engaging with the trust issues on both sides believable - particularly in the context of the world of sport.
    Nice light humour, plus drama and credible minor characters. I can't wait to read the next book in the series, Quinlon's story.
