A scorching hot, age gap, friends-to-lovers, boy obsessed, unrequited love story by critically acclaimed romance author, Eve Dangerfield.
Cheryl Karalis-Walker doesn’t have time to fall in love. After twelve-hour days marketing pineapple-print leggings and caring for her terminally ill mother, all she wants to do is relax, get white wine tipsy, and flirt with someone else’s dad.
Patrick Normal isn’t a dad. He isn’t even close to being someone’s dad. He’s a funny, kind-hearted football player with the body of a Greek god. He knows he isn’t the older, sophisticated man that Cheryl usually dates, but he’s loved her since he first laid eyes on her. How could he not? She’s the hottest girl in the world and gets him like no other. They're perfect for each other. Everyone knows it - that is everyone but Cheryl.
But being her best friend means years of unrequited lust and friendzone jokes. Somewhere Patrick would willingly stay, rather than risk losing her. After all, men come and go, but friends are forever. Right...?
Just as he’s losing hope of ever moving from ‘best friend’ to ‘love interest’, a wild party leaves Cheryl naked in his bed, confessing she’s scared to ruin their friendship… but she loves it when he takes charge.
So, it’s on. No more games, no more tiptoeing around the tension between them. Cheryl wants him in control and loves that side of him? These two best friends are done f***ing around. It’s time to find out. What will it take for Cheryl to realize that theman who has always been her constant is the one she has been waiting her whole life for?
Back Into It is a standalone, contemporary romance novel, and book four in the interconnected Playing for Love series.

Back Into It is book 4 in the Playing for Love series and can be read as a stand-alone. Patrick Normal, famous football star and all-around great guy has been friends with Cheryl Karalis-Walker for a couple of years now; in fact, they are best friends. They hang out, have a daily call at 11:00, and go to parties together but they have never crossed "that line" into more. In fact, Cheryl is actually into older men, while Patrick is several years younger than she is. Truth be told, Patrick is in love with Cheryl. Everyone knows BUT Patrick and Cheryl. When a drunken night leaves Cheryl vulnerable, she confuses Patrick that she has feelings for him but is too afraid to ruin their friendship to get involved with him romantically. When Patrick shows Cheryl what they could be like together and promises to take the blame if anything goes wrong, Cheryl finally decides to take a chance and see where things might lead. But when Cheryl's life crashed into her and Patrick's relationship, the question remains to be answered if Patrick is mature enough and the man that Cheryl can count on to support her when she needs it the most.
This was a new author to me. The book started just a little slow for me but soon picked-up and I couldn't wait to see what was going to happen next with Patrick and Cheryl. Cheryl was a real mystery and had some major abandonment issues to work through. I thought it was too bad that she didn't initially trust Patrick with all parts of her life and what she was struggling with since they were supposed to be best friends. Once Patrick decided he was tired and waiting around Cheryl and decided she was his, (cue permanent marker scene {fans self}) all bets were off. I definitely plan to go back and read the previous books in this series.
