Someone get me a glass of water STAT! This was gooooood, a perfect beach read! Except there’s a pandemic so I guess perfect kiddie pool in my suburban backyard read? I digress….
There are two things that my romance novels have to have for a good time: 1) solid story AND 2) sizzling heat. Dirty Tactics delivers that and then some. I read this once, and then woke up the next morning and read it again.
His best friend’s little sister never looked so good…
Two weeks.
A trial period, in which hockey superstar Zac Quinn will prove to Reagan Thomas—his best friend’s younger sister and the one woman he can’t seem to keep his hands off of—that they can’t possibly date for real.
After all, the Thomas family is the only family he’s ever had. He can’t risk losing them, no matter how much he wants Reagan. She’s too important to him; he can’t let things get weird.
But Reagan has known they’re meant to be since forever. She’s not about to back down now.
If she has to play dirty to bring him around?
No problem.

I love a good sports romance these days, so I thought I would give it a shot, plus a black woman is our main character, I was in! Not only is Regan smart, funny, and fully fleshed out she was so normal. Give me normal stories of black joy and love all day.
And Zac? Well he was hot as hell. I loved watching a man deal with his feelings! Frank talk of therapy, and handling childhood abuse.
Was there some lag in the middle? Yes. Did I mind? No, not really!
For a debut novel this was a home run. I’d happily read the rest of this series. Ms. Salah is now on my auto buy list.
Typically I am a one and done reader for my romance picks, but this was a keeper y’all! Also whew is it hot! I mean HOT. I may have re-signed up for bumble I was so hot and bothered. TMI? Don’t care. It’s true!
If you’re a fan of Christina Lauren books, I think you’ll enjoy this!
⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️5/6
