One night with a quarterback By Jeanette Murray



A one-night stand shouldn’t go into overtime…
She’s daddy’s little girl…or she would have been, had he known she existed. Cassie Wainwright thought her father—head coach of the Santa Fe Bobcats—ignored her purposefully. Come to find out, he had no clue she’d ever been born.
Now Cassie is determined to meet the man who’s always been missing from her life. Her mother warns her, being the long-lost daughter of a well-known NFL coach won’t be easy, but Cassie’s determined to stick it out. And before her life turns upside down, she wants one more night of fun.
Starting quarterback for the Santa Fe Bobcats, Trey Owens is tired of being in the limelight. Lucky for him, the beautiful brunette he meets at the club isn’t a local. She has no idea who he is…and she’s down to party.
Tomorrow, Cassie will think about her father. Tomorrow, she’ll think about her future. But tonight is for herself and the hottie she found on the dance floor. It’s a match made in heaven—if only for a night…


Firstly, I had read this novel a few weeks ago, and I'm only just catching up on writing reviews as I've been ill, so please bare with me. 

Okay, so Cassie, who I think is an amazing strong, independent character leaves her small home town where she has her mom and best friend to go meet her dad for the first time. 
I would like to say now, if this was me, I'd have said no to meeting him. She had so many clue ins as to what it was going to be like. 
1) He booked her in for a meeting... not at home in a comfortable setting, no. He just booked her into his office as an appointment like she's just something he had to squeeze in. 
2) the way he says MY GIRLS, like she isn't one of them. 
3) The bloody rules. Oh My God. The bloody rules he gives her. She's a grown ass woman for christ sakes. 
These are just a few, as the book progresses there are more reasons to hate the man and wonder why she's even there. As for the stepmomster, god I really disliked her and wondered when someone would tell her to get the stick from up her ass. It never happened. 
I do think Cassie is treated way unfairly, and I did have to keep reminding myself that she was an adult and not some bratty teenager. 

Now, to the relationship, not really one night when they have a hot few of them. I never really liked how they became a couple. I don't know why, but nothing really stuck with me as to say 'hey, you two suit'. 
They keep their relationship under wraps. Cassie because of her dads rule and Trey because he doesn't want her to treat him differently because he's a football star. 
Obviously, in the end they find out who each other is, yet still keep it under wraps. 

Although I really enjoyed the book and will recommend this to followers, I found it dragged a little in places and wished it would hurry up. 
The ending however was my favourite, I felt like everyone stepped up and was actually doing their best of a bad situation.
