• Book #2 in the Dickson University Series
• Billionaire Bad Boys Second Generation & secret Winslow siblings!

Dickson University’s star quarterback and campus golden boy is used to
winning on and off the field…until he meets the one woman who changes the game.
Blake Boden is the ultimate distraction—annoyingly handsome, enigmatic,
and confident enough to make my teeth grind.
He’s the kind of guy who could charm anyone with a single smile, and
somehow, I’ve become his latest challenge.
Only, I don’t do challenges—and I don’t do love. Emotions? Just
chemical reactions. Distractions? Not on my agenda.
But he has a stubborn streak that won’t leave me alone, and I have a
dissertation due at the end of the semester on computer-assisted research that
I could put to the test a little more.
I’ll analyze his charm, track my reactions, and prove once and for all
that attraction is nothing but science…and love is a mere figment of the
imagination.
Hypothesis: Time with Blake Boden is purely scientific.
Conclusion: He’s not just breaking my rules—he’s rewriting them.
Lexi + Blake
We all remember super smart little Lexi from her mom's and her uncle's books. And now she's all grown up at 25 - almost done with University. She just has to finish her last thesis over the summer.
Blake is the new star quarterback at Dickson. And he's been in love with Lexi since he first saw her at one of those secret campus events.
Lexi being in her own neurodivergent research world most of the time, won't make it easy for Blake to win her over. But Lexi knows it's time to spread her wings a bit and ... live ... and love a little...
LET THE FUN TIMES BEGIN!
ADORABLE!
Beautiful second book in this second generation series!
Lexi and Blake are so adorable!
I love those he falls first things. He's so sweet and adorable and she's so ... lost. She doesn't know much about love and feelings. She has a hard time showing her family that she loves them. But she wants to change. She wants to try. And Blake is the perfect guy to do that with. He doesn't give up. So cute!
Of course we also meet all the others again. Can't wait for Ace and Julia's book next. And I already know I need Gunnar's (aka Thatch jr.) book soon as well.
PLAYING GAMES was another perfect addition to this new Winslow/Billionaire Bad Boys second generation Dickson University series. Adorable + funny + sparky + sexy + footbally + researchy + just beautiful! And also... THATCH!! Run to your nearest book dealer for your own Blake - this one is so mine!
