Review Card & Book Review – A Rookie Mistake By Laura Carter

It was all part of the game plan – so why are their hearts offside?

Kansas Harris – Sas for short – has the potential to be the best agent at her father’s sports agency, and she’s figured out exactly how she’s going to prove that: by giving disgraced football star Colton Quinn an image overhaul.

Colton may have got himself in hot water during the off-season, but only he knows the real story behind what happened. Regardless, he needs to pick up his game or risk getting left off the active roster – or worse.

Leaving behind all she knows in New York, Sas arrives in Texas with a surefire plan to save Colton’s career as quickly as possible. But when she gets to know the real Colton, that may be easier said than done.

She says she’s staying in the south strictly as his agent but Colton knows how to read a play and he’s about to call her bluff.

About The Author

My Review

This is a sharp, sexy sports romance that delivers both heat and heart. Laura Carter pairs the high stakes of professional football with an emotionally layered love story, making this more than just a steamy fling read.

Kansas “Sas” Harris is a fiercely capable agent striving to prove herself in an industry where her father’s reputation looms large. Enter Colton Quinn, a football star trying to rebuild his tarnished image. Their partnership starts as business, but sparks quickly fly as they challenge each other in ways neither expects. What sets the novel apart is the depth beneath the banter—Colton isn’t just an athlete with a bad-boy reputation; his vulnerabilities and family struggles make him compelling. Sas, meanwhile, shines in her determination, wit, and refusal to let the men around her define her.

Though the pacing dips slightly mid-story and the makeover/fake dating trope is familiar, Carter injects enough freshness to keep the romance engaging. With sizzling chemistry, playful dialogue, and emotional resonance, A Rookie Mistake is a winning pick for sports romance fans craving spice, redemption, and genuine character growth.
