Joie Stevens put all her dreams on hold the day she became a mom. As a
natural caretaker, it never bothered her. But now that her son is grown, she
has some new goals in sight and nothing is going to get in her way.
Except maybe an attractive football coach. Who very literally gets in
her way.
As assistant football coach for the Flinton State University Vikings,
Jack Pride really has nothing to complain about. He has a job he loves and
friends he enjoys. Certain he had his one true love in his late wife, the last
thing on his mind is dating.
Until he runs into a beautiful non-traditional student. Who he very
literally runs into.
This three-part story reminds us love can be better the second time
around. And that it’s not just players in the game…

My Thoughts
Not only does this book offer hours of enjoyment, it’s a
great example of how to be in a relationship.
I really enjoyed reading about Joie and Jack. They are interesting
individuals, and while different on the surface, they click marvellously as
couple. Both in their 40s, they are
embarking on their second life, so speak. Joie is headed to college to fulfil
her ambitions after placing them on hold to raise her son. Jack is ready to stop
marking time after the death of his wife and live life fully.
Jack and Joie are authentic. They are dented through life experience;
they have likes, dislikes and quirks. They have strong personalities. They are
adults. They drive each other up the wall and drive each other crazy
with lust.
Their attraction is immediate and the road to happy-ever-
after-ville is an amusing journey that we get to witness. If I wasn’t nodding my head in agreement, then
I was either laughing at their antics or sighing with happiness for Jack and Joie.
The book does a wonderful job in capturing the absurdity of everyday life.
The best part is this book makes me feel normal. While I
love the escapism that an over-the-top romance novel can bring, nothing makes
me happier than really being able to identify with the characters.
Author Bio
Mother, reader, storyteller—ME Carter never set out
to write books. But when a friend practically forced a copy of Twilight into
her hands, the love of the written word she had lost as a child was rekindled.
With a story always rolling around in her head, it should come as no surprise that she finally started putting them on paper. She lives in Texas with
her four children, Mary, Elizabeth, Carter and Bug, who sadly was born long
after her pen name was created, and will probably need extensive therapy
because of it.
