Against what is possibly her better judgement, Piper agrees to the arrangement. Then, once the baby is born, he can leave and go back to his preferred lifestyle of booze and babes. Considering he blames Piper for his predicament, he feels that the least she owes him is to marry him and lie to all of their friends and family in order to save his career. When he learns of Piper's pregnancy, he sees an opening to keep in the good graces of the team's owner, Elli Adler. He's garnered significant media coverage and is at risk of being kicked off the team. Erik has spent the past several months having sex with anything with breasts and legs. After finally having a night with him and then him breaking her heart, she is left with a piece of him: his baby. but did it have any redeeming qualities?Īs we learned in Empty Net, Piper has had a thing for Erik since meeting him. I would've like to have had a male read the hero's part. How did the narrator detract from the book? I enjoy sports books when they're written well. Has Blue Lines turned you off from other books in this genre? I just couldn't finish this book knowing that she'd eventually forgive him for saying the really awful things he said about her.

For that, she should have her feminist card revoked. And you know these stories have HEAs so somehow she does forgive him and let him back into her life. I didn't see any way for her to forgive him for that and not be disappointed in her for doing so. And then when she finally tells him she's pregnant with his baby, he goes off on her in a really soul destroying way. Less emphasis on the hero's manwhoring ways.
