What an incredible debut book for Author Jessica Marin.  Her writing style flowed well.  The characters were likeable and the emotion that they feel will have you turning the pages to see how to all plays out.  A true story of love, forgiveness and learning to trust again.  I can not wait to read more from Jessica.  PS Loved loved  Sean and think everyone needs one of him in their lives.

I completely loved this book.  I had the biggest crush on Stone, that’s Jason Stone, the quarterback for the Dallas Wranglers. 

Jason Stone is the hottest quarterback and exactly what the Dallas Wranglers need to win the season and a spot at Super Bowl.  Stone knows the game and can get them the wins.  As to women, he can have any pick of who he wants any night of the week.  But a chance encounter with this mystery girl and a night of passion cause his mind to be consumed with her when he should be thinking about plays and moves on the field.  He can not let 1 girl distract his chance at getting another Super Bowl ring.

Savannah Andrews knows her way around a football field better than most guys.  It is in her blood.  Her father is the owner of the Dallas Wranglers.  So she stays clear of any football player; she has learn they tried to use her to get to her father.  But she is on to their game.  She has worked hard to get her position with the team and it has nothing to do with her last name being “Andrews”.  But when Savannah meets Stone out at the club one night and realizes he has no idea who she is; can she give in to a night of pleasure?  She knows the chances of them running into each other will happen but she can not seem to stop the pull to give in for just one night.

Stone and Savannah have to learn to work together but after seeing each other naked, can they just be friends at best?  Or will the one night they spent together want them to relive more nights? 

I am a major fan of Nicole Edwards.  Her way of writing will draw you into the story until the very last page then you will be craving more pages; only to have to wait for the next release date.  Can not wait to see what she has in store for my future reads.

This book was started out little slow for me but as I continued reading, the story started to unfold and I wanted to see Salvador Rosas “Ghost” made it out of the Eastside and make something of himself.  Ghost grew up with gang life in his blood.  His father and grandfather were both part of the local gangs.  So it was only natural that he would follow that path.  After a stint in jail, Ghost knows that he must walk the straight and narrow; get his life together not only for himself but for his little brother that would be getting out of jail soon.  Ghost works 2 jobs at night to make an honest living.  But when he must find a place to live, he is not sure what to do. 

Vanessa Velasco knows what life on the Eastside is like. She has lived her whole life.  She was the road to getting out of there until she found love; causing her to put her plans on hold.  But Vanessa is a tough cookie.  She knows how the gang life is but when her grandmother offers Ghost their garage to live in, she must put some ground rules down to protect her family.

Sometimes your childhood crushes become a reality.  That reality so much more than you could imagine.  As we watch Ghost and Vanessa learn to accept fate and trust again, they show each other a side no one else has seen. 

I look forward to seeing where their story leads; will they make it out of the 
Eastside and accomplish more than they thought possible with their lives?  Or will the Eastside consume them like most the locals here?

On the Line (Milwaukee Dragons #1) by Author Liz Lincoln

Who doesn’t love a single dad?  Add to that tall, blonde and built that you just want to climb him like a tree.  Oh and a major football player.  We meet Seth Chamberlin at the grocery store purchasing female products for his daughter.  He has an instant reaction to the hottie in the checkout line in front of him. 

So why not exchange numbers and see what happens.
Carrie Herron down on her luck.  She has no job, no bed so to speak of and running low on money.  The only bright side to her stop at the grocery store is the sexy man that happens to help her out when she seems to have misplaced her wallet.  Carrie seems to hit the jackpot when the sexy man exchanges numbers with her. 

Seth and Carrie start a steamy texting romance.  But when they come face to face again, things head south fast.  Not only is Carrie at Seth’s house for the Nanny job and a place to live but she realizes who he is.  Carrie has no choice but to stop the sexy texting with Seth and take the job.  She needs this job. 
But will Seth and Carrie be able to forget about the attraction and pull that they feel for each other?  And the texts?  They have to do the best thing for Seth’s daughter; Seth being the father that she needs and Carrie being the Nanny to take care of her.

I enjoy the writing style of the author and the character development.  I look forward to reading more from Liz Lincoln.
