New Review! The Pickup by Nikki Ash 5 Cranky Stars

The Pickup by Nikki Ash
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5 Cranky Stars


This is a 5 star novel for me. I don’t usually read romance but have found it a pleasant distraction from the Sci/Fi and Fantasy world. It helps when the author has likable characters. It takes place in NYC but it could be any big city in the world.


It starts with Nick. He is your typical 20 yo college jock who happens to play football. In fact, he is the quarterback. His father is his agent of course. Nick has just been informed that he can’t major in his passion for writing but must study business. As far as Daddy is concerned, football is Nick’s major and he will leave college for the Draft after his junior year. Nick is not happy.


Fast forward 10 years and Nick is injured just before the Superbowl. He needs surgery and physical therapy. His current team is going to release him because of the injury and his age. Along comes the NY team and his hard work pays off, he gets signed. However, he is told he must settle down as over the past year, he has been drinking and bedding different women every night. Now it gets complicated. When his one night stand turns into more.


This isn’t a normal love story. They haven’t seen each other in the 9 months and neither knows the other’s true name. Sparks fly both good and bad and the twists in the plot will make you dizzy if you read too fast. Can’t wait for Book 2.
