When single mom Silver Coulter gets a chance to plan the bachelor auction event of the season, she has no idea it’ll bring her face-to-face with the very man she’s spent years trying to forget—Ace Sanchez, superstar running back for the Texas Titans, whose devastating good looks and quick-silver personality make him one of the most eligible bachelors in Texas.

Sorry I didn’t like this one. The H was sweet and a genuine good guy. I felt like he deserved more than an h who was constantly pushing him away. The drama from the evil ex-MIL was OTT and the decisions that the h made were frustrating. I didn’t enjoy the H being the only one to communicate. Unfortunately, there was only one adult who employed healthy relationship practices.

I slipped this book in between scheduled review reads. I picked it up on kindle unlimited. I've read the other two books in this series so I had to wrap things up with Ace. This book was good- a fun diversion. Scheming ex's, an adorable little girl and a second chance at love. It was a satisfying journey with a good ending.
My only real slight bother was the page long paragraphs. There is just something about seeing a paragraph that takes up a whole page that makes me cringe. Why is that? It's a real thing for me. I ended up skimming those paragraphs and not missing anything vital.

Ariana runs an event planning business and ends up planning the event that some Texas football players are to be auctioned off. To her surprise, one of them is someone she used to date.

Having read 2 of the 3 bachelor auction books in this series I, of course, had to read the 3rd one. This one is a second-chance story complete with a crazy ex-husband and manipulative ex-mother in law. It’s a good thing Ace is a “persistent” groom of those two would chase him out of Silver’s life.
I appreciated Silver’s devotion to her sweet special needs daughter Gracie as well as Ace’s open-armed acceptance of her. A great story that shows persistence pays off.

As the 26th Jennifer Youngblood work I have reviewed, her record of five-star reviews from me remains intact. Silver and Ace are fantastic protagonists. They loved each other way back in High School, but Ace lost out to Riley, Ace's best friend at the time. Now, years later, Ace gets a second chance with a now divorced Silver. This time, Silver has a young Down syndrome daughter who is the light of her life and plays a major role in this story. I leave it to the many other competent reviewers to summarize the storyline, but I remained glued to my iPad from start to finish with a story that was both interesting and entertaining. This is clean romance at its best and I heartily recommend this and all other Jennifer Youngblood works to all my friends.

Another great Texas Titan Romance
I’m starting to find that I’m addicted to these Texas Titan Romance books, lol. They have great swoon-worthy men who are incredible on and off the field. (And yes they all continue to remain good clean romances). Ace Sanchez has every right to be cocky and prideful with his career and how much work it took him to get there, yet he remains humble and kind, still willing to work in his family’s restaurant. I was frustrated at first with not knowing what was going on in this story, but as I read I found I very much liked how it unfolded. Silver was a great female lead as well- and I loved how time and time again she retaliated and stood up for herself. A cute book!

Sweet Gracie
What a romantic story! Truth is a powerful weapon when lies threaten to overwhelm you. Silver is bullied into a position of having to lose Ace, the love of her life, for a second time in order to save her daughter. Can she find that faith, family and real love can give her strength to combat lies with truth? It's a great story as Silver finds that answer.

The Persistent Groom: Jennifer’s Texas Titan Romance Book 1 is by Jennifer Youngblood. This series revolves around three members of the Texas Titan NFL team and their families with their search for marital happiness. The situations are very real and the characters are quite realistic as well. Serious situations occur in the books that the characters must face and that readers should pay attention to as well. This book deals with the way Downs Syndrome children are viewed and treated. It also touches on the idea of having affairs while married is just something that must be endured instead of taken seriously. The feeling of entitlement simply because of your wealth is another thing that is dealt with in this book. All of this plus the romance makes this a great book.
Silver Bliss Coulter was doing her best to make her event planning business get off the ground while raising her daughter, Grace. Grace is a Downs Syndrome child and needs a lot of care. Luckily, she has been accepted as a student to a nearby school for children with Downs Syndrome. She has been on the waiting list since she was a baby. Now, she will have to figure out how to pay for it; but she will. She knows it will do no good to ask her ex-husband, Riley, for the money. Meanwhile, she has an event to put on- an auction.
The auction is for charity and three members of the Titan football team have agreed to be sold off for an evening. Ace Sanchez does not want to do this; but he promised so he will. He runs into Silver before the event begins and just seeing her starts a reaction in him. She is as beautiful as ever and he still lovers her. Now, he has to persuade her to give him a chance. Can he make her love him with only a few minutes to be with him?

Great read for a sweet escape!
Ace, part of the “triple threat”on the Titans football team, sees what he wants (who he’s wanted for a long time) and he's determined this time is going to be different. So he is “persistent” as he goes after Silver (love the name). I have to say this is felt like the most natural ‘lost love rekindled’ story I've read in a long time. You can tell the basis they made as best friends since junior high school is there so even when they get mad or frustrated at each other, they keep at it and work it out. I loved that Ace was even able to make her laugh in those moments too. There is a crazy ex and psycho mother-in-law who had me cringing with how nasty they were getting. As I was running out of pages I anxiously wondered “How is this going to end! Someone stop the madness!” But it wrapped up nicely and that’s what matters to me.
Very sweet book I definitely recommend. It’s part of a series but it is a totally stand alone clean romance. The beginning part of the book covers the same event as the other series books but being that it's from a different perspective you don't feel like you are re-reading the first chapters all over again. Thank you for that.

Rounding up from 3.5 stars.
This story was pretty high on the angst level for me. I think I felt more than the characters did. I liked the main characters but felt a little frustrated by Silver's choices. She really did have the ex-mother in law from hell. And I disliked her ex as well. Talk about a dysfunctional family... The MIL reminded me a little of the mother on Gilmore Girls, only worse.
As I read the book I really couldn't see how this was going to end happily. It wasn't obvious to me how it would play out. I thought it might go in one direction but it didn't. How can the innocent win over such evil people? Kept me wondering right up until the end. I was glad that Silver was in the end able to fend for herself instead of being saved.
I don't know how realistic much of the book was but perhaps that is because I've never been involved with the rich and famous. Maybe some are exactly as the author depicts.
I did enjoy the read though even if it maybe isn't totally realistic. I can suspend disbelieve to enjoy a good book. And I enjoyed it.
Sex: some innuendo
Language: derogatory racial term
Violence: physically rough toward ex-wife, intervening man handling, emotional abuse, threatening situations

This was an okay romance. I enjoyed the first half better than the second half. I really wish that instead of the showdown at Bruce’s birthday, that Silver would have recorded Dinah at the restaurant making all those claims and somehow used it against Dinah. Of course, it may not have counteracted the alleged videos of alleged child abuse, probably doctored video, and having Bruce hear everything was a more effective deterrent but I have trouble believing Silver would have been given the “open mike” for so long at the birthday party. I suppose everyone was in shock and let her talk. However, one thing I did like was that Silver did need to be the one to stand up and somehow solve this herself rather than the author having Ace do it.

Really enjoyed this book and the characters. I also appreciate that the child has Down’s syndrome. I loved the fact that it’s a clean romance! I do wonder why Silver n ever used the fact that Riley did not pay alimony and child support to attack back at her ex. I felt Silver missed an opportunity to fight back, particularly in her”speech”. I’m looking forward to The Ghost Groom!
I really enjoyed book and the characters, loved the fact that Gracie has Downs Syndrome & that Silver is such a proactive mother. I do wonder why such never attempted to at least get child support from Riley/Dinah. That would have been a great little bit of information in Silver’s “speech”. I’ve already gotten the The Ghost Groom!

I’m on the fence with this one... two stars, or three?
This book started off simply alright, progressed to not too terrible, veered off to ‘I can’t read another sentence’, then back round to not too bad.
Honestly, I’m not going to bother giving this one a full, detailed review. It was an alright story that bordered on ridiculous at times.
One bother?
Yes, I understand Silvers mother-in-law was a rich, well-connected socialite. BUT to say she had the manipulation power against a top NFL star... was pushing it for me.
She might have clout over Silver, sure, but Ace should have trumped her connections and reach by a landslide!
Anyway, point is, a lot of this story was pushing it for me.
It redeemed itself about half way through so I’ll stick with the three stars... but just barely.

Great read real page turner.
Great read a real page turner, lot a twists and turns. it was hard to A down at times. . The aurhor is a great story teller, has a way with words and paints a picture so well you think your write there living with them. It had an amazing number twist and turns that I just didn't see coming, it was frustrating at times , but it had a some what satisfying ending. . I really kept looking forward to the next reading section of it. I don't open if Jennifer has any kids, but if she does she probably calls them "Sweet Pea". And after reading two of her books its clear she likes male auctions. I don't quit get the point of the story's Title!!

Silver & Ace
This book is a great start to a new-to-me series. This is a second chance, single mother romcom. There is a lot of water that has run under the bridge since Ace and Silver parted ways on the morning of her wedding to his ex-best friend. Her ex husband and former mother-in-law were note nice people, entitled, selfish and amoral. The contrast to Ace's warm, generous, accepting family couldn't have been greater. I wasn't expecting the twist at the end of the book that gave Silver her freedom to start a new forever with Ace.
I purchased a copy of this book in and voluntarily chose to share my review.

Silver her biggest event, could make or break her in this business, and now with all the problems. Bachelor Auction was the biggest it had ever been With three of the famous Dallas Titans football players as bachelors. From the photographer, to the caterer, and one handsome Titan Ace, giving her problems. They had a history that sizzled. The clutches of an ex mother in law and an ex husband, they didn’t want to lose control of her. Intriguing, seeing the bachelors at the auction, and how did Silver come out with the one bachelor, hopefully with love and second chances.

Beautiful
This was my into to this author and the story was beautiful.
Silver initially lost the love of her life out of obligation (trying not to give spoiler alerts). Ace took the loss of Silver as the opportunity to become what was intended for him and become man of the hour on the football field.
However no amount of time apart or life experiences could change their love for one another. Get ready to get angry and disgusted by Silver ex husband and ex mother in law. But most importantly get ready to fall in love with Gracie, Silver's daughter.

I enjoyed the edge of your seat quality that this romance had from the scheming ex and former mother-in-law. As a romance it was okay. It relied a lot on the previous history these two had. And it had the very cliched we can't communicate so that it creates drama in the story, which I can't stand. I did enjoy the fact that her daughter had down syndrome and the extra challenges that presents a parent. It added an extra dimension to the story.

This football romance features Ace (superstar running back) and Silver, the one who got away from Ace many years ago. When a fluke brings them together again, Ace is determined to win Silver's heart this time around. I really liked this book in this series. Ace was my favorite football star in this series, and I loved his style of getting Silver to break down her barriers with him. It's cute. Very easy to read and not boring at all. Good job!

Touchdown!
This is a heartwarming book about overcoming adversity. It touches all the bases; a deranged ex-mother-in-law, a persistent and cheating ex-husband, and the football star she’s known and loved since junior high!

Great, sweet romance
This was a fantastic sweet romance from Jennifer Youngblood - probably my favorite of anything she's written. I loved the way the characters had the work and struggle to overcome their challenges, and how relatable the characters were, even though one was a pro football player. Sweet, clean, I'd rate PG, maybe PG-13 for an instance of violence or two.

Great clean read; rushed ending
I loved and hated that this was a clean romance. Hated because it just didn't seem realistic that all they did was heavy kissing. I also wasn't always a big fan of Silver. She just kept telling Ace to butt out, but didn't really handle the situation until the speedy, ballsy but too perfect ending. But the supporting characters were great.

The Persistent Groom
They had a past. They went to school together. Became sweethearts. But there was someone who didn't want her with him. She ended up married to his ex friend. Now they are back. But does the past still still have it's good on her? Will he find out what happened years ago?

Wow-I was on the edge of my seat as I read, wondering how everything would work out. Ace is amazing and so caring. Riley and his mother are entitled, hateful people. In some ways I could see why Silver was afraid to stand up to them, especially with having a daughter with Down's Syndrome, but when she caved I was annoyed. So I totally loved how she finally stood up for herself in front of her mother-in-law's friends. Wonderful ending.

beautiful work
Such a wonderful story that was more centered on jobs and moving on than too much of the past in baggage or trauma. Gracie was a doll, Ace was a decent guy and Silver took the cake standing up for herself and putting the truth in the open. They deserve their happy ever after.
