Hail Mary by Cassie Cole

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

In Texas, football is a religion. 
Which makes Colt McAllister a god.
The star of the Fort Worth Frenzy could have any woman he wants.
But for some reason he has his eye on me. 

And he’s not the only one.
His two suave teammates want to share me too. 
DJ Buchanan is the goofy blond athlete who’s quick with a joke.
It doesn’t hurt that he’s covered with chiseled muscle, either. 
Despite his athletic exterior, Kody Murphy is quiet and studious. 
And I’m the only one he’ll open up to about his troubling past.

It’s my job to spend as much time with them as possible. 
Interviewing them in the locker room…
…and getting extra personal off the field. 
Can Colt, DJ, and Kody lead their team into the AFL playoffs? 
And will our sultry relationship last that long?


HAIL MARY is a sizzling reverse harem love story filled with humor, suspense, and athletic action. HEA guaranteed!

The heroine: Mary Beth Cunningham – she has been a journalist at the Fort Worth Herald for four years, it was kind of a boy’s club. The veteran male journalists always got the good assignments while Mary and her friend Carey got assigned fluff pieces. Though this time she gets assigned to be a sports correspondent alongside Bill, the regular correspondent. She was assigned to the Fort Worth Frenzy, a newer team in the XFL (Xtreme Football League).

The Heroes: all of them play on the Fort Worth Frenzy football team.
Colt McAllister – the star quarterback and most popular team member, appearing on the cover of more than one local magazine. Though he doesn’t do interviews, but his coach told him to be more flexible this year.
DJ Buchanan – He was the running back on the team. He was well liked by the fans for his good looks and charismatic personality.
Kody Murphy – He is the backup quarterback and is a bit on the shy side. He is intense and answers questions in as few words as possible with a bit of sarcasm thrown in.

The Story: Last season, the guys had a girlfriend they shared between them, they were kinda looking for the same thing this season, and when they saw Mary Beth in the locker room, all three of them noticed how hot she was. Colt even granted her an interview and asked her out for a more in depth one. So, they were already thinking about her that way, but had no clue if she would be into something like that.

I liked the fact that the three guys put it all out there right away and told Mary what they wanted. They also said that dating the three of them would be good for her career because they could feed her the most interesting stories about the team. I mean three hot men wanting to share you and help your career, who could say no to that? The only thing Mary struggled with was if she did it, she wondered if she could be truly objective in her writing. And she was worried that if anyone found out, her professional integrity would be in question.

I loved the fact that Kody could really relate to Mary, in that he was the backup QB, always waiting on the sidelines for his chance, kind of like how she had been treated at the paper. It was a hard situation with the two quarterbacks, you wanted both of them to do well in their careers, but in order for Kody to play, Colt had to do bad. So, it was a difficult balance. But what was really great about this one was how much fun they had together and the little jokes and cheesy football metaphors they threw out during intimate times.
