TRAE
It’s a call that changes my life–and my little girl’s. Years ago, playing for the NBA was the dream, but the Seattle Stallions suck. Worse than that, my old teammate is now the star center–not to mention my number one rival. There has to be a catch, some sort of agenda. Before I was injured, I was the best. Now? There’s no way they want me.
But when I see the roster and salaries, it all comes together. It’s a chance to get on the court again and change our lives. And I just can’t wait for the opportunity to finally take him down. What I never counted on is Courtney Cohen being the game changer.
COURTNEY
I inherited the Bad News Bears of the NBA. When I discovered the star center, my ex fiancé, cheating on me, all I want is to jump ship before the whole thing sinks. But with revenge on my mind, I exact a plan. Take down the dirty player and save my father’s dream.
Suddenly twelve minutes is too little time, and a season is not long enough.
Will it be love, or just a game?

REVIEW: OFFENSIVE REBOUND by MJ Fields’s is a stand alone, contemporary, adult erotic, basketball romance story line focusing on the professional basketball team the Seattle Stallions. This is twenty three year old team owner Courtney Cohen, and forward Trae Rhodes’s story line.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Trae and Courtney) OFFENSIVE REBOUND focuses on the professional basketball team the Seattle Stallions and their struggle to keep things together following the death of their owner Charlie Cohen. Enter Courtney Cohen, Charlie’s daughter, and the woman who will bring the team together, one way or another. Prior to his death Charlie re-signed forward Trae Rhodes in an attempt to rile up some of the other players, in particular a man Courtney once thought that she loved. What ensues is the building relationship between Trae and Courtney, and the struggle to build a successful NBA team. Callie has inherited a team that has yet to win a game; and a roster of spoiled players who follow the lead of their brooding, resident star.
The relationship between Trae and Courtney is one of forbidden love. Courtney is Trae’s boss but Trae’s appearance on the team is suspect by our heroine, the coach and a number of the other team players. Trae’s aggressive seduction of Courtney Cohen is compounded by the contentious relationship between Courtney and her ex-star center for the Seattle Stallions Brock Boeheim, and the destructive former friendship between Trae and Brock. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense.
There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including the members of the Seattle Stallions, coaching staff , press personnel and security. We are introduced to Courtney’s best friend Christa; her mother Ellen and step-father Ronald; as well as Trae’s mother, and a special someone who is the light of Trae’s life.
The world building takes the reader behind the scenes and the intricate workings of a professional basketball team. The in-fighting, tempers, and child like behavior of a team of men who believe the world revolves around the very ground upon which they stand. We are up close and personal as Trae seduces the woman with whom he will fall in love, and the Las Vegas antics that end as we might have expected.
OFFENSIVE REBOUND is a sexually graphic story line about two people thrown together in an attempt to shake up a struggling basketball team. There are some fun times courtesy of Christa with the back and forth banter of a life long friendship. The premise is energetic and heartwarming; the characters are passionate and spirited; the romance is seductive and provocative. I am hoping MJ Fields has plans to continue the series-I am hoping for Christa’s happily ever after.

“You still afraid of me?” Courtney asks. I push her hair out of her face. “No.” “I’m afraid of you.” “No beer muscles tonight?” I ask, glancing at her empty glasses. She shakes her head. I scoot in closer to her. “Tell me what you’re afraid of.” “Liking you too much,” she says then takes a drink. I turn her in her seat so she’s facing me. “You’re gonna like me even more when I’m inside you.” Her body grows taut. “You can’t say stuff like that. It makes me uncomfortable.” “Well, now I’m going to have to do it more often to get you used to it; make you crave it, beg for it.”
