Blurb:
Ex-NFL
star + snarky single mom = a touchdown of a holiday romance
After
two Super Bowl rings, MVP status, and retiring from the NFL while still on top,
Mitch “Flash” Flashman’s millions should make life at the ripe old age of
thirty-five a blessing. Yet he’s restless, rudderless, and can’t tell up from
down. Roped into helping his brother coach a bunch of teenagers, Mitch finds
himself playing defense against the many women in town wanting his attention.
Except for one particular woman who doesn’t seem to like him much. Becca Bragg
is mouthy, vulnerable, and sexy, and she captivates Mitch despite himself. But
Mitch has no time for a sexy single mom when he’s still trying to figure out
who he really is. With the playoffs, a boy’s future, and his own heart on the
line, he’ll need to figure out how to pull the ultimate victory—winning Becca’s
heart and keeping it. For good.

Review:
Marie Harte is an author that has a special
skill to slip her reader’s into just about any setting and make us feel like we
are right their with her characters experiencing their dramas at their
sides. This holiday story revolves
around a snarky and sassy single mom and a retired NFL star that has come to
loose ends since his retirement. Roped
into helping his brother with the coaching of the local high-school football
team, Mitch finds himself confronted with a smartass but also kickass young
player that he sees himself at that age in.
When he tries to get Simon to step up and act like the mature and brilliant
player he is, Mitch is confronted with his single mother who has her own brand
of sarcasm, with a serious side of sexy.
Becca has been raising her son on her own for a long time now and when
Mitch barges in trying to tell her how to parent, she is just a little bit
pissed, until she sees the attitude her kid is throwing for herself. Thrown together again and again, Mitch and
Becca soon find the heat between them impossible to resist, pushing them into a
hot and sexy affair. Then it goes from
being a hot sexy affair to becoming something so much deeper and neither of
them realized just how much they would come to depend on one another. Mitch is an interesting character and I
enjoyed seeing him find his place in the new world he finds himself inhabiting
where his daily agenda I pretty much empty. It was obvious that he loved
coaching the kids and even more that he loved showing Becca just how much she
means to him. He was strong, sweet,
loving, adventurous and HOT all mixed together into a potent and loving
man. Becca has a lot of issues to work
through before she can devote herself to any man, but the more time she spends
with Mitch the more she comes to understand that he could really come to be an
important part of her life. Seeing Becca
come out of their shell and find a way to let go of past hurts and embrace the
love of a good man was a great way to help us remember that even the deepest
love, once lost, can make room for another love. The potential for love never hits a maximum,
always finding room for just that little bit more love. I loved the sparks that flew between these
two whether they are loving, laughing, or crying together. It was also great to see their friends and
family truly embraces them as a couple and show them how much they mean to one
another. Marie never lets me down when I
want a good read and Any Given Snow Day
was another masterpiece with a special bit of holiday magic mixed in to make
the story all the more fantastic. I look
forward to possibly seeing these characters in a future story and would enjoy a
new series based on these characters if she saw fit to make another new
series. Thanks for the holiday magic and
sexiness of two amazing characters falling in love.
