The Player Next Door by Kathy Lyons

Mike was really cute, “Jesus, woman, I have no idea. I’m too busy thinking of all the novel things I want to try with you.” He takes offense to other men treating his woman badly, “don’t make a woman half your size carry your ***t. What kind of man are you?” Tori sometimes has tell her man what to do, "then she grabbed Mike’s face, not to kiss him but to glare into his eyes. “Now listen to me. You’re going to do five three-pointers and win the game. Do you hear me? And then I’ll marry you.” I enjoyed this book Tori was quirky, and Mike was a beefcake.
