Forward Pass

And the last thing he’s looking for is a woman to replace his dead wife. Until gentle Tina Black walks into his life and captivates his baby son’s heart.Still feeling the pain and shame of an attack by her perverted, dead-beat stepfather, Tina is looking for a fresh start. When Keith offers her a job as a nanny for his boy, it’s a sanctuary, a place to heal that she can’t resist.From a tremulous relationship founded first on friendship, Keith grows to love the innocent, softly sexy woman inside Tina who turns him on like no other, while Tina sees behind the handsome quarterback façade to the loving family man, and together they decide to take a second chance on life—and love.

a fun read for those who understand and appreciate the ins and outs of the game of professional football. Ann Jacobs is very open about her own love of the game and the entire series of Gridiron Lovers is fun to read. My only negative is that I think all the stories are way too short. She is a good enough writer that she could have given us far more substance in each of these four books, this one included. Otherwise, it is a fun and entertaining story with lots of romance and sizzle.

Tina has a past she would rather bury and keep hidden from all including herself. Keith is living most of his dream, has lived through a loss and is trying to get back in balance. Both feel they are missing something in their lives but have yet to communicate it to the other. Together they will discover what fate has in store from them and in part includes a sense of contentment for each of them.
I would have given it 5 stars, but felt it was cut a tad short. I needed more of Tina, Keith and Jack. What happened after the fact. Even just a little bit would of been extremely satisfying. Otherwise Ann has me looking at sports in a different light. This is the second book I've read from her and really enjoyed it. From the characters to the story line to the romance. Each aspect made for a really good book, that even one who is not into sports can enjoy!

Leí solo este libro, ahora veo que hay 2 anteriores, tampoco me afecto tanto no leer en orden. La historia es simple y sirve para pasar el rato.
