A tale of greed and
betrayal, Donna McAteer's Barely Legal will have your
rooting for the hero and heroine as they face some
serious challenges.
Taylor Webb can’t believe her best friend volunteered
her to pose for the cover of a romance novel.
Reluctantly agreeing, she finds the man she is posing
with to be sexy and electrical to the touch. Carson Troy
plays tight end for the Miami Makos. He feels the same
sparks and their posing turns into a steamy encounter
with no immediate hopes of fulfillment. Over the next
few days, they can’t get their minds off each other and
finally decide their attraction cannot be denied. As
their appeal to each other escalates, danger follows.
Taylor has been asked to date Carson to investigate
steroid abuse on the team. In addition, she may have a
client who is now out of jail seeking revenge. It is
only together that Carson and Taylor will be able to
face the dangers and succeed. But first they must
overcome issues with trust.
Carson and Taylor were dynamite together but excellent
chemistry may not be enough if they cannot learn to
trust. The story behind the danger was complex and
realistic as well as riveting. Donna McAteer wove in all
the ends with consummate skill making Barely Legal a
fantastic read. If you love romantic suspense than
Barely Legal is perfect for you.

South Beach Miami attorney Taylor Webb owes her best
friend, Annelise, a favor. Annelise wants Taylor to pose
for a steamy romance novel cover, she thinks Taylor
would be perfect for it and it would get Taylor some
publicity for her law practice.
Posing for a romance cover with a hot gorgeous hunk
turns out to be a bit more difficult than anticipated.
Sparks fly while spending hours posing in the arms of
sexy NFL star Carson Troy. Both can’t seem to keep their
attraction for each other concealed. Taylor tries to
ignore her feelings for Carson and focus on her work,
but when Carson’s team calls her in for legal
assistance, their paths cross again.
The action takes off as Taylor and Carson deal with
uncovering steroid use within his Team and a former drug
Mafia member that Taylor failed to keep out of jail gets
released and seeks retribution.
BARELY LEGAL starts out super hot and steamy. I LOVED
the photo shoot scene between Taylor and Carson, every
romance readers dream, at least mine, especially since I
love stories that deal with professional athletes. Put
the two together and you have the makings of a hit for
me. The author Donna McAteer has a way of descriptive
writing that you actually feel like you are there.
Having spent many years in Miami, the author truly
captures the feel of Miami Beach and Coral Gables. I
felt like I was back there again. I give top bookmarks
for setting the stage of the story and the main
characters themselves. I loved the characters. I will be
reading another story by this author for these points
alone.
However, what lost me with this story was its
believability with the characters actions dealing with
steroid use within the team and the drug lords/Mafia.
Having friends that are professional NFL athletes,
attorneys and police officers I find it almost
impossible to believe they would ever act like this.
None that I know would. Maybe if I had not had this
knowledge the story would have been better for me and
readers that aren’t aware of this you may love the
story. I hope that the author will consider this in
future writings, as Ms. McAteer’s writing style is
beautifully descriptive and a joy to read. I do look
forward to reading her next story.
BARELY LEGAL is a romantic action packed read set in
beautiful South Miami.
