5.0 out of 5 stars Another fantastic book!

I love Bella Andre's books!. Her stories are well written, full of steam and romance, and feels real! I love how she uses language that lots of romance novels don't tend to use, afraid of ruffling feathers, but when in reality, we all know are commonly used by the average person. That is what makes her books so real and gets you engrossed in her stories and characters.

This is the story of Cole Taylor, who is a very rich and famous NFL player. He doesn't know a lot about love, except for his love to his grandmother. While in the hospital, she wishes for Cole to finally settle down with someone. He loves his grandmother so much he lied to her and told her he had someone already. Problem was he didn't and needed to find one pronto! He looks for a good girl all over Vegas and comes up empty handed, but then he goes to a nightclub and sees the perfect girl for him. Anna was simply beautiful and a certain innocence radiated from her. Anna has never done anything crazy in her life and she was tired of everyone feeling sorry for her. So when Cole kisses her and proposes they get married, she accepted! Their chemistry was fantastic and their life together as a married couple began. The romance scenes were off the chart! Nothing turned out to be the way they were hoping. And they soon find each other in unfamiliar territory. Could they make their marriage work? Will they fall in love with one another? All for you to find out.....

Let's just say the ending was everything you can hope for! This book was good and a wonderful read! Pick up some of her other books (Love Me, Take Me, etc), if you like her style, they are all fantastic! I especially love her books that reference my home city of SF, that is a bonus!

Anna Davis is tired of being known as a good girl. She wants to live life. So when her sister gets married in Las Vegas, she decides she isn't going back to the room after the reception. She goes out to a nightclub with her other sisters and their husbands in tow to show she can live life. When a chance glance across the room brings a handsome hunk of a man to her, she grabs him and won't let go thinking it is finally time to live and he is the one she wants to live it with.

Cole Travis is used to fighting for what he wants. Driven to be the best on the Outlaws defensive line, he gets paid the big bucks to stop the other team from scoring. But when his grandmother finds out she has cancer, Cole can't win this battle for her. Her last wish is to see him settled with a good girl and a family to go along. Lying, Cole invents a mystery woman who is the love of his life. Now he has to produce that girl for his grandmother to meet. Hunting the strip of Vegas isn't bringing an answer to his prayers until he sees Anna across the room and her "mythical" halo of good girliness.

Drawn to each other and hypnotized by what they feel, the two get a quickie marriage, an incredibly sexy wedding night and a huge amount of trouble explaining where they met, how long they dated and the PR that comes with being a football star.

Now I am not one for love at first sight. Lust, yes, but not love. But this isn't about love at first sight. They don't even profess love till later one when some common sense finally smacks them upside the head. This is total lust on both sides, with a little devious procuring a bride for the grandmother on the side. The quickie marriage in a dive in Las Vegas kind of threw me off, but I knew why Cole was doing it. Anna was doing it to be wild. But all I kept seeing was the complications that this was going to cause. Then I gave that up and decided to just enjoy it.

Cole is no stranger to women. He is a love them and leave them guy with so many different things he wants to show Anna. Anna is a first grade teacher and only has had two lovers before Cole, neither of whom have stroked a raging fire of passion in her. So when Anna turns very nervous, Cole takes her slowly with throughly. It made me want to jump in and be Anna. Through it all Cole pushes Anna outside of her bounds with new experiences, touches, kisses. Anna blossoms and begins to see the side of Cole no one else sees. Cole took longer and I didn't totally believe he fell in love with her. It seemed to be tacked in and phony for a bit.

There's not much football in the book, which is ok. The Outlaws are playing games, both being home games. The story takes place over about a two week period. Very short love affair. We also get to see the characters from the previous two books and they are doing great of course. The side plots of grandma being sick turns a little unbelievable, but that wasn't what I was reading the book for. The dynamic of the characters is interesting to watch, but there isn't a huge amount of depth to the book. It's a fun tale of suddenly lust and love that works out in the end.

5.0 out of 5 stars Game for Love...Sweltering Game with Slam-Dunk Hotness!
Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2011

This is an electrifying romance between Cole and Anna. The story begins with the famous football player, Cole Taylor, and his grandmother's dying wish for him to settle down and marry a nice, loving women. He immediately begins his quest for the "good women", and thus, unexpectedly enters into the story this nice, young school teacher, Anna Davis. From across the room in a bar, they both discover each other, and the game begins. During the evening's events on their chance meeting, Cole will eventually compel Anna into marrying him. Since Anna was planning to do something so totally off-key from her mundane life this night, she agrees to do something so not like herself and gets hitched to Cole. Thus begins the hot and heavy sexual erogenous romance...the honeymoon! And it does not stop throughout the book.

It will be a few pages down the road when Cole reveals to Anna what his initial intentions were in marrying her; she will feel betrayed but she still goes along with the lie to appease the grandmother's wish. This brings a great deal of turmoil to the tale, but, oh wow, the make-up-can't-live-without-sex is to die for. Eventually, they both will recognize and confess their enduring love for each other.

I really enjoy reading Bella Andre's novels for the down-and-dirty passionate, stimulating read. Bella always puts a well-written story together so that you can actually feel the sexual tension, anticipation and then the real life one-on-one body slamming...mindless, wonderful, screaming sin sex. If you want to read some slam-dunk hotness, then I highly recommend this book!

I am a Bella Andre fan, having read most of what she has published and Game for Love is every bit as good as her other romantic/erotic novels. The two lead characters, Cole, a professional footballer and Anna, a school teacher, contrast interestingly. The plot is nothing special (devoted grandson finds nice girl to take to dying grandmother), but the contemporary approach and the way Bella Andre takes time to make her characters likeable as well as hot and sexy makes this a very enjoyable read. Recommended!

I enjoyed the previous two books in the series. My trouble with this one is I am not a fan of stories where the couple meet,marry and fall in love within 2 days!! Cole is normally a love 'em and leave 'em type and into one night stands but when he finds out his grandmother is dying he lies to her that he has met the love of his life and so that night goes out looking for a woman. Anna is in Vegas for her sister's wedding. Within 10 minutes of meeting he asks her to marry him and she agrees! Once married they go back to his hotel suite and he ties Anna up and blindfolds her and they have a night of hot sex. There are lots of hot sex scenes in the book and as usual Cole is one of those men who can recover instantly!!, so they have a LOT of sex! Anna falls in love with Cole within days but Cole can't admit his feelings so easily but it doesn't take him long to realise he does love her (as I say, all the action happens over a week).
I felt the reason for their romance going pear shaped was a bit weak (I won't give any spoilers). It was hardly something to make Anna react the way she does but as usual they get their HEA.
I would recommend the book but the first two in the series are better stories.
