New York Times bestselling author Violet Duke kicks off her fun and sexy new Fourth Down series with a heartwarming friends-to-lovers romance between a no-strings-attached sports analyst and the hottest damn tomboy he’s ever met.
It’s no secret that sports analyst Jackson Gray doesn’t do relationships. What is a secret, however, is the reason why. Jackson’s life is . . . complicated. And it doesn’t help that his current hands-off “friendship” is with the cute-as-hell new sideline reporter he’s assigned to train. Turns out, not only is the woman damn sweet, she also knows as much about football as he does. Like it or not though, Jackson has to remind himself that sex is the only thing he has to offer . . . until now.
Leila Hart’s fast-growing friendship with Jackson is something she’d never risk, no matter how unbelievably seductive the reward. Becoming an NFL sportscaster has always been the goal, and thanks to Jackson’s fierce support and mentoring, it all finally seems within reach. Problem is, a girl can only take so much of that sexy-as-sin voice whispering dirty, filthy football stats in her ear before she loses all self-control. A workplace romance with Jackson is a disaster waiting to happen, especially for someone with big dreams . . . and secrets of her own.
Advance praise for Jackson’s Trust

Review:
This is the first book in a brand new series by Duke and after reading the blurb I wasn't sure if I would actually like it or not but as it turns out I really enjoyed it. Her writing style was enjoyable as were the characters.
We meet Jackson who is a senior football analyst who falls for the new sideline reporter Leila. Jackson has ever committed to more then just one night stands but with Leila's faith in him that will change.
These two have great attraction toward each other and quickly fall into friends then friends with cuddling but Leila holds out on Jackson until he can believe he is more then just one night. I have to say the way these two understood each other on so many levels was refreshing. They also had each other's backs and wanted to really help the other one. It was like they were a power couple.
I liked the mystery of what secrets these two were holding back from one another and trust me I never guessed what it could've been. It was unique and brought some twist and turns that just made their story more appealing.
Jackson has some interesting and funny friends who I am assuming will end up getting their own books (yay). They are funny and have no boundaries in what they say. I can honestly say I can't wait to see what Duke will put them through when their time comes.
I'm not really a big football fan so when when stats and other things were mentioned I found myself confused and wanting to move on from that to their love story. If you are a football fan then I expect you will understand this and enjoy this more then I did.
With all honesty I wasn't going to read this book but in the end I was so glad I did. Not only does this story have some drama but it has some really big emotional parts that only helps these two characters along the way. I certainly can't wait for the next book in this series!
