Juked: verb.
/jook-t/
A slang soccer term meaning: faked out, deceived, confused your opponent
See examples Daniel Zavaro and Quincy Watson:
As the rising star in Houston, Daniel has found fame as Captain of his Pro soccer team and the city’s most eligible bachelor. Daniel has everything – except someone special – and that suits him just fine. He doesn’t want, or need, complications.
Quincy has baggage, and lots of it. After a tragic accident spins her world on its axis, she finds herself as a single mother, raising a newborn nephew she never knew she had. Between parenthood, her full-time job, and dealing with the suffocating grief of losing her sister, every day is a struggle.
When they begin to cross paths unexpectedly and often, an unlikely friendship starts to evolve. Feelings change. Lines get crossed. What happens next surprises them both…
Before they know it– they’ve been Juked.
Going into this book I thought I had it figure out, but boy was I wrong! It was everything I didn’t know I wanted and MORE. This sports romance actually dealt with on the field action, I know a lot don’t have much on the field so I thought this might be important to know.
The way Daniel interacted with his big Mexican family made me smile and the way he was with babies… Ovary explosion! He was caring and nurturing and a great lover, he seemingly had it… you know except for his fear of commitment.
Quincy has had a hard go at life (and she lives in Texas and doesn’t eat Blue Bell which is really odd to me.) but she has stayed strong through it all even if she has regrets for things that she didn’t do. She handled things that were thrown at her with class and dignity. She was a strong heroine that any woman could admire.
