Two pink lines won’t change the bad blood between us.
I haven’t always hated my brother’s best friend, but Michael Oliver gets under my skin and brings out the worst in me. He knows how to push my buttons, and I relish pushing all of his. He betrayed my trust years ago, so I’ve made it my mission in life to aggravate him until he admits he was wrong.
When his sister’s wedding brings us together, Michael suggests a truce for one night. If only he weren’t so handsome and smart, maybe I could resist the allure, but I’ve always been a little impulsive, and this man is my ultimate temptation. After years of pent-up frustration and unrequited lust, I finally let down my guard, and that’s all it takes for us to combust.
But like all bad decisions, the morning after brings a reckoning, and I leave his hotel room swearing to never waste another moment of my time pining after him. Who needs that grumpy jerk warming her bed? Not me.
I don’t let myself think about that steamy night together, or how it pained me to hear about his football injury, or how much I know he wants to get drafted so he can help his family. Because I’m cutting Michael out of my life for good.
Only the two little pink lines mean I can’t forget him. Even if I desperately want to.

The Baby Blitz is a companion standalone to USA Today-bestselling author Lex Martin’s sensational college football romance novels, The Varsity Dad Dilemma and Tight Ends & Tiaras. Readers will love this sensual multicultural romance featuring a scorching-hot college football player and the feisty, but slightly nerdy girl next door—the one he swore he’d never make a move on.
Will Michael make the right decision if he has to choose between Maggie or fulfilling his dream of playing professional football?
***5 Stars***I knew that this one would be intense. But man, Maggie and Olly were a trip. But I kept turning those pages because even when they made my eyes hurt from all the rolling, I still needed to see how they would end up working everything out and I was not disappointed in anyway.
It was hard to not love and adore Maggie and Olly. Both have a lot on their plates and I’m honestly impressed with how determined they are to reach their goals. They love and adore their families and will do all that is in their power to be there for them.
Their journey to their HEA is a rocky one…and that’s before the “surprise! You’re going to be parents” thing happen. Assumptions, lack of communication and just standard chaotic teenage emotions have plague their relationship and add in pregnancy hormones…well, all bets are off. But I loved watching them deal with their past issues and work at being true friends and adults as they get ready to become parents. The road blocks in their journey, outside of themselves, were many, but in the end, I liked how they worked through them all and got the HEA they deserved.
This was a fun read. The pacing was good and I just liked how everything played out between Maggie and Olly and there was a good balance of drama, humor, heat and heart. It was great catching up with Sienna and Ben and Kayla was awesome, but I gotta say, I’m all in to read about both Johnny and Sebastian finding that one girl they won’t be able to live without, so toes are crossed for those!
