There was
something about that first score, and not just on the football field.
The First Score, an all-new, best
friend’s brother romance from Amie Knight is available now!
I loved all of life's firsts, which
was why I’d been saving mine for one girl, my older sister’s best friend—Hazel
Jones.
She was tough and sarcastic with
walls around her heart as tall as a football stadium, but I knew she was the
one for me.
Desperate times called for desperate
measures and I’d have done anything to make her mine.
Like create a fake online persona.
Lie about my age.
Pretend I wasn’t some naive virgin.
And catfish the hell out of the love
of my life.

Excerpt
“Thanks so much for taking her home,
Hazel.” Ollie nudged me to get my attention and I turned to look at him, not
having much choice in the matter now. I couldn’t be rude. It was a mistake. The
green of his eyes was deeper today, less brown. I knew it was the jersey. It
was always that way. A bead of sweat slid down the side of his face and he ran
a hand through his hair like he always did. I knew it was a habit of his, just
like I knew so many other things about him.
“You
owe me.” I tried lightening the mood like I had with Scarlett. I nudged his
shoulder but only came into contact with a pad.
Dragging his bottom lip into his mouth, he raked his teeth over the
fullness and his eyes heated. He leaned his face close to mine. “You name it
and it’s yours, brat.”
My
face flamed and my mouth watered. Lord, he was a terrible flirt and by terrible
I meant amazing. I swallowed the saliva pooling in my mouth and stepped back.
“Cut
it out, Olls. Quit giving her a hard time. She came all this way so your ass
would have a way home tonight.” Scarlett attempted to save me.
He
eyed me. “Oh, I haven’t even started giving her a hard time yet,” he said
before walking backward down the stadium steps, hot eyes still on me. I was
thanking whatever gods were listening that he was walking backward. Please,
God. Spare me that ass. I couldn’t handle it after his damn lip trick.
“You’re shameless, Oliver Knox,” Scarlett called down to him.
She
wasn’t wrong. Oliver flirted with all the women. I never could tell if he had a
preference for a certain kind of girl. If it walked and had tits and a vagina,
he flirted.
“Bye, ladies,” Oliver said loudly and jangled Scarlett’s keys over his
head before doing the most awful thing in the world to me—he spun around and
gave me his ass. And God, was it a marvelous ass. Immediately my eyes ate it
up. Was there anything better than a hot ass in some football pants? It was
round and firm and high and I bet I could have bounced fifty quarters off of
it. But I didn’t have any change. Damn. That was just my luck.
I
was being mesmerized by the twin all white globes when they stopped just barely
and my eyes diverted up to see Oliver looking over his shoulder and smiling.
Damn him. He gave me a slow wink before continuing down the steps at a trot.
The
tease. The bastard. He knew how good-looking he was. It didn’t matter a bit
that he was my best friend’s brother or that he was a year and a half younger
than me. Oliver Winston Knox was fine on a regular day, but in a football
uniform he was the stuff dreams were made of. My dreams to be exact.
REVIEW:
I loved everything about this show-burn friends to lovers romance. Ollie is honestly one of the most lovable heroes that I have read in awhile. He is loyal, nice, funny and respectful. Hazel was strong, yet vulnerable. She had a horrible hand deadly to her as a child and because if that she doesn’t believe she deserves someone sad god as Ollie.
This book had everything you could hope for in it. Great characters, friendships, storylines and situations that are so believable that you have to read until done just to see what happens, even though you don't want it to end. When Hazel finally tells her best friend, his sister, all of the secrets she has been keeping it is a truly heartfelt moment. I loved their first official date and grandpa is hilarious. I loved every moment about this book and can't wait to read more by this author.
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest, voluntary review.
