Goodreads Summary:


When post-grad Rachael Hamilton accidentally gatecrashes a pro-athlete party, she ends up face-to-face with Ryan Carter, the NFL’s most beloved quarterback.

While most girls would be thrilled to meet the attractive young millionaire, Rachael would rather spend time with books than at sporting events, and she has more important things to worry about than romance. Like her parents pressuring her to leave her unpaid publishing internship for law school. Or her brother, who’s obliviously dating Rachael’s high school bully. Or that same high school’s upcoming reunion. 

Still, when Ryan’s rookie teammate attaches himself to Rachael, she ends up cohosting Friday night dinners for half a dozen football players.

Over pancake brunches, charity galas, and Alexander the Great Rachael realizes all the judgments she’d made about Ryan are wrong. But how can a Midwestern Irish-Catholic jock with commitment problems and an artsy, gun-shy Jewish New Englander ever forge a partnership? Rachael must let down her barriers if she wants real love–even if that opens her up to pain that could send her back into her emotional shell forever.


What Made Me Swoon:

"One hand cupped my cheek, the other warm on the small of my back.  Dark black night pushed away the sky blue of his eyes.  I lifted my lips that last half-inch between us and pressed them against his.  For a heartbeat, the kiss was soft and tender, newly born.  I could feel his heartbeat under my hand, could feel my pulse leaping in my throat.  I opened my eyes to feel Ryan gazing at me with the heat of blue flames.  Then he groaned, the sound ragged with need, and deepened the kiss.  His hand curled around my waist, pulling me flush against his body.  Every soft curve of mine matched up with hard strength.  I sighed into his mouth, heady with longing."  (EARC LOC, 2486)

          (This scene goes on for 5 pages, and let me tell you, it get's really hot!!!) 



What Are You Swooning Over?

  7. Holy Cannoli!!!! 5 pages?!?!?!

    Ok, seeing that we are book twins and all, this is a automatic one-click for me ;)

    My swoon of the week is Mr. Woods Kerrington from Twisted Perfection.

    Swooning moments:

    -“You are mine. Do you hear me? You are mine, Della Sloane. I will take care of you. Nothing is taking you away from me. Nothing.”

    -“I loved her. I loved her with a something so fierce I couldn't even name it.”

    -“Because I can’t live without Della. I don’t want to. She’s the reason I get up in the mornings”

    OMG!!! Woods .... Waaaaaaaaa!!!!! He's so DIRTY, but in a good way ;)

    Honestly, you can't go wrong with anything Abbi Glines writes :)
