Former nurse Summer Jacobs has seen her fair share of suffering, but she never expected tragedy to hit so close to home. After watching her husband die in the MMA ring, Summer spends the next two years fighting her way through the darkness. The last thing she needs is another hardheaded athlete turning her life upside down. But that’s exactly what happens when she meets a gridiron star who’s as skilled at stealing hearts as he is at snagging passes.
Carolina Cougars wide receiver Evan Townsend usually has no problem winning fans, so he’s intrigued when Summer shoots down his go-to plays for winning a woman’s attention. Never one to back down from a challenge, Evan turns up the heat, setting off sparks that neither can deny. But as his slow seduction begins to chase away Summer’s pain, he gets the feeling that someone is desperate to keep them apart. Now Evan will do anything to protect her—because he never misses a chance to make a perfect catch. AMAZON 4 Stars
Likable main characters, with a cast of other interesting people that surround them.
It started out good and then seemed to drag a bit. Evan was NFL player and Summer, was co-owner of a successful restaurant (with nursing credentials too). Even with all of that, it seemed like at times that at times some of the conversations and some actions were kind of like high school.
To be honest, I was thinking that maybe I was going to have to give it a 3 Star rating on Amazon. That it was just okay. And then......everything changed and things got way more interesting!! Twists, turns, and surprises began to crop up. No, I'm not telling the who, what or where. Why spoil it for future readers? This story did keep me guessing as things began to ramp up. I did begin to suspect the right person behind what I thought was some of the problems. Still I enjoyed watching it play out. Let's just say that things stop feeling like high school and some pretty serious things are happening. Evan and Summer may have found each other but they are in for one rough ride.
I'm thinking that this book is for the 18+ age range because of the sex and language. We're talking about football players here.
I'm also wondering how things work out for Luke. Will he ever get Lara back? That is Summer's twin sister and that was a story running in the background of this book too.
I was given a free advanced copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review
