Roman's dedication to his sport has left him with an emotional void and his sex scandals and other bad boy activities have given him a reputation with the GM of the team. On the day he's meeting with the GM to be told he needs to clean up his act, he runs into Lexi who is there to meet her father and half sister who have no idea she exists. Talk about family drama! 
 Lexi's father is more accepting of Lexi's claims, but her half-sister questions her motives. When there's some mega-attraction between Roman and Lexi, her half sister isn't too thrilled about them dating because of his reputation. So Lexi is faced with the dilemma of going for the guy she is attracted to, or risking her new relationship with her newly found half-sister. 
 This is definitely an opposites attract (and very sexy) sort of story. Lexi is very independent and makes Roman work for it, which was a nice touch. I liked how he handled these new feelings toward Lexi, even though they scare him. 
 The story is told in dual POV from Roman and Lexi and with a surprise POV from Lexi's father which adds a nice treat to the book with a more seasoned romance between Brian and Lexi's boss Georgia. The scenes between these two were equally interesting. 
 Roman works very well as a standalone, as this was my first book read in this series and I didn't have any trouble following along. If you are a fan of sports romance, you will want to check this out. I really like Sawyer Bennett's writing voice and it comes across very well in Roman.
