Synopsis Green

Sleeping with your roommate is a bad idea, right?

Megan Davidson is scrambling to find a new place after Abby, her roommate and best friend decides to move in with her boyfriend Lance.  With just a week until classes start, the open spot left in Lance’s old house looks like her best option.  She moves in with Matt and Chris, shameless flirts and notorious players.

Chris Watkins first met Megan at their Fourth of July party over the summer, and he’s wanted her ever since.  She’s now tantalizingly close, and he doesn’t want to keep his hands to himself, even if its the worst idea ever.  Chris doesn’t do relationships, but once with Megan just isn’t enough.

With ground rules in place, it seems like everything’s working out fine.  But will Chris’s history catch up to him and ruin everything?

Review

Sexy, Sweet, and Swoon-Worthy!

I am absolutely loving the Players of Marycliff University Series!  Confession…I’m not a sports enthusiast.  Watch football?  Ugh.  Baseball?  Boring.  Calm down, everyone.  Put away the torches and pitchforks.  Because I do have a weakness for campus sports romance novels.  Jerica MacMillan’s New Adult series caught my attention and I was hooked.  The books are standalone, but since Convenient Fall picks up the previous story I recommend that you first read Summer Fling.  You’ll love it!  The series centers around three hot players on the Marycliff football team who all happen to be roommates; Lance, Chris, and Matt.  When I say these guys are players, I mean these guys are “players”.  Football jocks of the tall, ripped, and gorgeous variety.  Jersey chasers hover around, hoping to catch their attention as well as a piece of action.  All three have thus far taken advantage of the smorgasbord of lovelies, never indulging in the same treat more than twice.  That is until the perfect girl comes along.  Oh, how I love when the perfect girl comes along!  Especially when she couldn’t give two shakes about some jock.  It’s so much fun watching these guys trip all over themselves when the tables are turned.

When last we saw Megan, she and roommate Abby were “breaking up”.  For a good reason.  Abby and Lance are moving in together.  (I’m telling you…read Summer Fling!).  Since Chris and Matt are minus one roomie, the logical solution is for Megan to move in and take Lance’s place, right?  Riiiight.  Megan is comfortable around the guys.  In fact, when she met them at their annual 4th of July house party, she and Chris engaged in more than a little flirting.  Megan figures that was all routine for Chris, and living in the same house shouldn’t be a problem.  Cue the problem.  These two are so attracted to each other they emit sparks when in the same room.  However, they both keep their distance, not wanting to do anything stupid.  For about a week.   Ha!  But I love that she can’t resist him when he sincerely makes his case that they give it a go.  I was also pleasantly surprised to see that Megan is not the party girl I first thought her to be.  She’s quite a dedicated and accomplished artist.  Which is a sore subject for her strict, ultra-conservative parents who don’t approve of her major.  Which may or may not cause some trouble down the road.  Just sayin’.  I like that she stood up to them and pursued her dream.  I like that she has a level head, even where Chris is concerned. 

Their relationship was born of attraction and proximity.  Chris’s track record with women didn’t inspire thoughts of rings and wedding bells.  Or even anything approaching a significant commitment.  She knew there would be an end date.  And she hoped like hell that she could keep her heart out of it as much as possible.

Chris, on the other hand, has quite lost his head over Megan.  All rational thought has flown the coop because each time he lays eyes on her, it’s like all the oxygen has been sucked out of the room.  He finds himself experiencing strange emotions.  Like jealousy!  Chris has never felt this way about a girl.  Ever.  He can’t get enough of Megan.  She’s not just beautiful, adorable, and sexy, she’s fun to be around.  And damn if she isn’t hot as hell when she’s getting all bossy while tutoring him.   I fell in love with Chris.  Despite his “player” reputation, he is loyal to the depth of his soul.  Not an easy task, what with all the girls begging for his attention and…stuff.  If you know what I mean.  But what I love most about Chris is his intensity.  He’s fallen hard for Megan and will do whatever it takes to prove it to her.  Add to that the chemistry these two have, not to mention the between the sheets action, and the pages burst into flames. 

Convenient Fall is another beautifully written, swoon-worthy novel from Ms. MacMillan.  Her stories hit me in the emotional gut every time and I love it!  This series is full of great dialogue, humor, sizzling chemistry, and just the perfect amount of angst. You might think about it for a minute, but you won’t get close to throwing your Kindle against the wall.  In other words, it’s a perfectly crafted campus sports romance.  Next up is Matt’s story and I can’t wait!

Excerpt

Chris held the restaurant door open for Megan. It was after two on a Sunday and the usual lunch crowd had cleared, so they got a table right away. He’d opted for Fire, the fancy pizza place. He didn’t know what was expected for a date on a Sunday afternoon. Megan was in jeans and he wore shorts, so a really upscale place didn’t seem like a good choice. He’d been here a couple of times and the food was good.
 
Once they’d ordered their pizza and the waitress had gone, Chris fidgeted a little, tapping his fingers on the table.
 
Megan studied him over the top of her glass. “Nervous?”
 
He stopped his hands through sheer force of will. “Nope. Why?” He managed to keep his voice casual. Good.
 
A grin spread across Megan’s face. “You’re bouncing your leg like crazy.”
 
Shit. He stopped that too. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” That casual tone he’d managed before? Nope, gone now. He was such a bad liar sometimes. Megan just laughed at him and he smiled. “Fine. I don’t take girls out very often.”
 
“How often is not very often?” Megan’s tone was dry, and her lips twitched with suppressed laughter.  He appreciated that she was trying not to laugh in his face, even though part of him was kind of annoyed that she found it so amusing that he was flustered. He didn’t get flustered with girls, dammit. But he didn’t date girls either.
 
He screwed up his face like he was deep in thought. “Hmm. About never.”
 
Megan lost her fight with her laughter and let it out. She didn’t hold back when she laughed—no simpering giggles like so many girls used when they flirted with him.
 
Her laughter died down and she studied him again, the humor now gone from her face. “So, this is a date.”
 
He nodded and took a drink of his soda, wondering where she was going with this. Hadn’t they established this morning that this was a date?
 
“Does that mean we’re dating?”
 
He shrugged. “What would that mean, exactly?”
 
“Don’t worry, you don’t have to take me out to eat all the time or anything.” She flashed him a big grin and he smiled back. “But no fucking anyone else while we’re together. If you want to end it, have the balls to end it with me before you hook up with another chick.”
 
It was his turn to study her face. The waitress showed up then with their food. What impeccable timing. He waited for her to leave before he returned his attention to Megan. “Sounds fair. And it goes both ways.”
 
“Of course.” She maintained eye contact, her brown eyes holding his like she was trying to see inside him without giving anything away. Finally she flashed her smile again and got a slice of pizza.
 
Their conversation relaxed after that. She seemed satisfied with his answers about their relationship, such as it was. Relationship. That was a loaded word. Their … shit. He couldn’t come up with anything better than relationship. In any case, he was happy she didn’t push for more than he was able to give. Exclusivity didn’t seem like too big of a deal. Especially since he hadn’t wanted anyone else since he’d met her.
