Something Like Lust by Piper Rayne

Piper Rayne's done it again with Something Like Lust! The second installment of the Chicago Grizzlies series is addictively good, and I couldn't put it down from page one on. This is Damon and Adeline's story, and it starts out with him having just found out about her pregnancy. She's apprehensive to start but still understands that she wants her baby to have a father, and things move from there. These two go from veritable strangers to co-parenting in a short span of time, but the journey we see them on changes them both.

These characters! Both the last book and this one has this variety of characters that I immediately felt invested in. Adeline is this girl next door sort of middle school teacher that's an everywoman type whom I loved as Damon's counterpart. And Damon? He's pretty awesome in this book. I enjoyed watching him transform from this not exactly appealing womanizer to a dad, and it's just everything. He made me smile and laugh and then drove me a little nuts too (you'll know what I mean when you read it), but it's this combination that made me fall in love with his character. He surprised me in the best way possible.

This is a sports romance must read that's well written and utterly unputdownable. I'm not exaggerating when I tell you that all I wanted to do was read this book every spare moment I had. If you love sports romances, then this book and series is not to be missed.
