Summary: "Graydon St. John doesn't do drama--or public appearances. The brooding defensive end for the San Francisco Foghorns prefers silence, solitude, and avoiding headlines. But when a league-wide PR scandal forces him into a media stunt at the city zoo, he's suddenly face-to-face with squawking birds, nosy fans, and the zookeeper who seems to hate his guts on sight. Maple Baker loves her flamingos. Loud, pink, messy? Sure. But they're hers. And the last thing she needs is a grumpy football player stomping into her sanctuary with a bad attitude and a bigger ego. Unfortunately, they've been paired for the zoo's new public outreach program, and the cameras are already rolling. The banter is sharp. The tension is electric. And the more they pretend to play nice for the press, the more their fake flirtation starts to feel like something dangerously real. But when family secrets, viral fame, and a PR romance gone off-script threaten everything Maple's worked for, Graydon must decide if he's willing to fight for love--or let it slip away to protect her." -- Publisher.

Publishers Weekly Review

Quinn (Til Summer Do Us Part) launches the Bay Area Players series with this raucous sports romance. Brooding Graydon St. John, the defensive end for the failing San Francisco Foghorns, has a reputation for playing poorly with others. To improve the team's PR, however, he and his teammates must volunteer at the San Francisco Zoo, meaning he'll have to put up with a partnership with sunny zookeeper Mapel Baker. Mapel is passionate about her work and determined to save her beloved flamingo lagoon from being turned into a gift shop by the zoo's greedy owner. She finds Graydon dismissive and borderline menacing, but hopes to use his fame to draw attention to her cause. As the pair post videos on social media in which Mapel teaches Graydon about flamingos and he shows her how to play football, their followers become convinced they're a couple. Foghorn's PR team encourages them to go along with it, and the more they pretend to be in love, the more they fall for each other for real. Quinn manages to infuse their slow-burning connection with all the raunchiness she's known for as well as her trademark over-the-top humor (Mapel and Graydon get off on the wrong foot after she hears him calling flamingos "pink-feathered dipshits on stilts"). Fans will not be disappointed. (Feb.)
