Lucky Number Eleven
A standalone best friend’s little sister romance by USA Today Bestselling author Adriana Locke
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.
I totally banged the reporter in the locker room after the championship game last year.
Those pictures in Expose from last summer? Those were not modified.
I’m also not really six-foot tall. (But let’s keep that between us.)
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 whole life. If there’s one thing I know, it’s how to adjust when the game 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 this one.
Grab a seat and a subscription to Expose. I’m about to make some headlines. (Again.)
A sexy, swoon-filled standalone novel.
Excerpt
“One question,” Poppy interjects, looking at Branch. “What position are you?”
“I typically like the bottom so I can watch—oomph,” he says, getting another elbow from Finn. “Wide receiver. Why?”
Looking at Poppy, I can’t help but laugh as her eyes light up.
“You got a problem with wide receivers?” Branch asks.
“You do,” Finn interjects, giving me a narrowed glare. “They aren’t any better than quarterbacks.”
Branch looks from me, to Finn, and back to me. “Why do we not like quarterbacks?”
“My sister was dating Callum Worthington.”
“No shit?” His face puckers like he just bit into a lemon. “How in the hell did that cocksucker end up with you?”
“He didn’t. We’re not together anymore.”
Branch’s eyes heat, the look causing my pulse to quicken. “I’m not a bit sorry to hear that.”
“You better forget you heard any of that,” Finn warns. “This is my sister, Branch. Not a cheerleader or reporter or some chick from a dating app. Got it?”
“Finn, relax,” I say, shoving a swallow past the lump in my throat. “I appreciate the big brother spiel, but I can handle myself.”
“I know you can,” he says, pulling his gaze away from Branch. “But you can’t handle him.”
Branch ‘Lucky’ Best is part of the biggest playboy duo football has ever seen. You can always find him with his best friend Finn, ladies hanging all over them and having a good time at any bar. They decide to have a weekend away before the season starts but get a shock when Finn's sister, Layla had the same idea also. Branch decides it's the perfect opportunity to show Layla that his moves in the bedroom are even better than the ones on the field.
Lucky Number Eleven was forbidden, sexy, and so damn good you won't be able to put it down. It had me falling in love with these characters and Branch is now officially part of my Book Boyfriends hoard. I loved that it was such an easy read, it's one of those books that you'll sit down with thinking "only one chapter" and then next thing you know you're reading "The End."
There was a perfect balance of heat and intrigue that made it impossible to tear my eyes away from it. Finn and Layla's friend also had a little secondary story going on in the background that I found perfect. It didn't take over Layla and Branch's focus at all, instead it just added to why I couldn't stop reading. Clearly this is a recommend from me.
