Oh, How the Mighty Are Ballin’ by Jeanie Johnson & Jayha Leigh

[reviews_and_ramblings]

Bella-Sophia is a beautiful woman who chose to do a man job; she coaches a college football team and she is also very good at it and has all the right credentials. But as expected, she had to overcome all the prejudice which seems derived only by the fact that she wasn't a man. Now, thanks to the foresight of an old coach, she coaches at college level and she is happy, but she has repressed her femininity... oh, she is still a beautiful woman, and every man can notice that, but she dresses like a man and avoids all the little details who pleases a woman, like jewelry and make up.

Wulf is a former German professional soccer player who was hired to coach the soccer team in the same college. He is a big man with pleasant behavior and old style gallantry. From the first time he meets Bella-Sophia, he decides that he is more interested in the woman than in the coach. Not that he underestimates her proveness at work, but he is not interested in it: Bella-Sophia can be the most successful football coach of USA, but when she ends her work day, she has to go back home to him and only him.

The story is not very long, less than 100 pages, but flows smoothly. The style is a bit more tamed than other books I read by the same pair of authors, actually, even if there are two or three quite strong words scattered in the book, there is only an actual sex scene, and even if it is pretty enthusiastic, it is more unbalanced in the funny side than in the erotic one. All in all I found this one lighter and funnier than the previous books.

What remains of the previous experience I had with Johnson and Leigh, is a very strong Afro American female character and a even stronger white male character, the type of male who still opens the door the his woman but it's male enough to not be intimidated if she has a life of her own.
