About this ebook
Keeping a secret this big is going to take lots of balls. Specifically, rugby balls.THE CAD
Bryan Leech is a cad.
Or, he *was* a cad.
No one is quite certain.
Once the quintessential playboy, Bryan claims he’s done with wild parties and weekend benders. No more one night stands leading to mornings he can’t remember; no more binges and blackouts; no more exploits plastered all over the tabloids and rag sheets. According to Bryan, he’s cleaning up his act.
The only problem is, no one believes him.
THE CO-ED
Eilish Cassidy never thought she’d be a mother at nineteen or still in college at twenty-four. Cut off from every member of her family except her favorite cousin, she’s finally managed put her life back together. Stronger and wiser, Eilish enters her last semester of university determined to stand on her own. Now she just needs to find an internship.
The only problem is, her best option—by far—places her directly in the path of her son’s father, and he doesn’t remember her at all.
THE PLAN
Bryan is determined to prove he’s changed. Eager to settle down with the right woman, he’s got his sights set on the gorgeous redhead who seems terribly familiar.
Eilish is determined to hide her secret. She’ll do anything to keep her child safe, even if that means ignoring her own wishes and desires.
But what happens when Bryan starts to remember? And what will it take for Bryan to convince the girl he forgot that she’s unforgettable?

Featuring Bryan Leech and Eilish Cassidy, Sean's cousin. Five years ago Bryan was a drunk, he and Eilish had a one-night stand at Ronan and Annie's wedding. It was her first time and in the morning he doesn't even remember her name! Even more humiliating, she later finds out that she's pregnant, at nineteen. Fast forward, Bryan has been sober two years and Eilish has landed a job as physio intern with Sean, Ronan and Bryan's team. BTW, at the end of book two wasn't Sean retiring and moving to the USA? Sean is desperate to play matchmaker between Eilish and Bryan and wants Bryan to know he has a son, now that he's sober but Eilish is not so sure. I didn't like this as much as the second book. I know it's fiction, I know it's unrealistic, but honestly, after being accused of only getting the job by sleeping with one of the players WHY would you almost immediately have sex in your place of work? Why? Eilish seemed to change her mind every five minutes, yet another heroine who gets a thought in her mind at the start of the book and doesn't let go of it, no matter how many times she is told/ shown evidence to the contrary. On the other hand, Bryan suddenly behaves totally out of character and creates a drama out of nothing - and doesn't bother to tell Eilish for three days! The whole thing felt manufactured and false. Also, I am disappointed that these books have no actual sport in them. The closest you get is a description of Bryan in his kit after a match, I tell a lie, there was one tackle. It feels like a cheat to call this a sports romance. Also, why wouldn't any of the players complain about the state of the therapy rooms - the physiotherapist leaves alcohol and take-away food containers strewn around the rooms and no-one complains? Overall, it was an okay read but didn't have as much charm as The Player and the Pixie
