Beschreibung des Verlags
A savvy young music exec for Rockstar Records, Hannah Love has a glamorous apartment and a tight pack of equally fine friends. But luxury and loyalty can’t protect her from a broken heart, courtesy of her super-rich fiancé.
To recover, Hannah accelerates her already high-octane life by pursuing a fantasy she’s had since childhood: to become an NBA cheerleader for the Chicago Diamonds. As she juggles promoting the hottest singer on the rise, dodges advances from Rockstar’s ultra-slick VP, and puts her body and her will to the test during cut-throat tryouts for a spot on the Diamond Dolls squad, she receives the full attention of the team’s star player, Max Knight.
Though the Dolls are strictly forbidden to date players, the heat between Hannah and Max builds on the sidelines. But as catty cheerleaders plot against her, and her boss at the record company secretly negotiates a merger that could leave her jobless, Hannah discovers that it may take much more than the lust for a hot man to hold her steady. It may take his love.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
After leaving New York for hometown Chicago to take her dream job at RockStar Records, 28-year-old Hannah Love is "reunited with the perfect friends, in love with the perfect man, living in the perfect condo, slinging the most perfect weave." Her fianc , however, is soon caught cheating, and Hannah attempts to heal her broken heart by pursuing her dream of becoming a cheerleader for the Chicago Diamonds professional basketball team. Though she nails the audition, Hannah is targeted by jealous veteran cheerleaders who attempt to humiliate her publicly and force her off the squad. Off the court, Hannah's life is no less fraught with conflict. Elijah Strong, her sexy and powerful boss, begins making advances on her, but Hannah is also feeling irresistible sparks with Max Knight, the Diamonds' star player, despite a regulation prohibiting players and cheerleaders from dating. Kendrick's debut is marred by her distracting preoccupation with wardrobe and penchant for the overdramatic, though snappy dialogue and steamy love scenes fuel the buildup to a bombastic ending that will satisfy romance fans.
