People say not to believe the things you read
in magazines, but you know what? Most things you’ve heard about me are probably
true.

Now, I know you’re wondering about that last
Expose headline—the one about me and my teammate (and ex-best friend) Finn
Miller’s sister, Layla James. That one is a little more complicated.

Here’s the thing: I’ve played football my

changes. And if there’s one thing I always do, it’s find a way to win.

Granted, the stakes are higher. The playbook
has changed. There’s more on the line than (another) MVP title. But guess what
hasn’t changed? Me. I’m still Branch “Lucky” Best and I’m not about to fumble

Man,
if there’s one thing I can guarantee Adriana Locke can do is give you
some amazingly, swoonable male characters! Her men all need to go into
the World of Book Boyfriends! They all just bring their A-game to the
table and when they play, they play for keeps; they play for hearts… for
forever. They totally will leave you weak in the knees!
Lucky Number Eleven was a super, quick read for me! I’m not a huge fan of sports romances but there was elements of young adult and the forbidden best friend’s sister romance… who can walk away from a forbidden romance? Not me, that’s for sure! I love the lead characters name… Branch Best… I mean, how cocky is he with a name like that?! He is cocky! But he’s also funny and sexy… and a big ol’ hoochieman! Layla’s brother, Finn, makes it even more tempting when he warns off his sister. Everyone wants what they can’t have, especially when they’ve been specifically warned off! It’s on now!
This book has some great lead and secondary characters… I just liked them all! They added interesting background stories to Layla’s and Branch’s romance. Adriana Locke’s writing continues to pull me into her worlds. She strikes a perfect balance between romance and fun, sexy and a bit of angst. Like most of Locke’s other books, this one is a home run!
I received an ARC of this book with the hope that I would leave an Unbiased Opinion. I was not required to leave a review, positive or otherwise, and my opinions are just that... my opinions.
