It's time for bad-boy quarterback Tyler Harris to put up or shut up--and to win the ring he's been avoiding his whole life.

Two years without a ring on your finger is enough to drive any girl crazy, especially Lavender Gerloch. She loves her bad-boy quarterback, but he only prizes one type of ring--a championship ring. So it's time to say goodbye.

Tyler hasn't been hit so hard in years. Why would anyone want to ruin a perfectly good relationship by making it official? But Lavender's flight seems to suggest just that, and even worse, his friends' wives have huddled with her to run a game-winning play. The biggest showdown of his life is coming, and there'll be no refs calling unnecessary roughness.

He's down, and the clock is ticking. It's time for a comeback route, but is Tyler up to the task?
Previously published as Roughing the Passer in 2014. This version has been updated, rewritten, and re-edited.
MY REVIEW
This is it, Lavender's done. She finally gave up on Tyler and herself ever being on the same page, wanting the same thing, so she's broken up with him. Now Tyler will have to face the consequences of not being able to, or more accurately, not willing to, give 100% of himself to Lavender. But will a second chance present itself when they end up in the same place during a girls' weekend and a guys' weekend?

Tyler is the last person wanting the white picket fence dream. He knows where that leads, and it's not anywhere he's interested in. But is his unwillingness to give all of himself to Lavender worth losing her? He knows she's worth any amount of pain but he just cannot take that step. But when Lavender and her girls and he and his boys end up at the same place, perhaps he can convince her to stay with him but in the same way they were before - commitment but not the ultimate commitment. That will work for her, right?

I wanted to smack Tyler, I gotta admit. He was frustratingly stubborn and cocky to the point that I didn't like him or connect with him at all. On the other hand, I loved Lavender, and felt she deserved a lot better than Tyler. I also felt thrown into a story that was clearly already happening, so I couldn't connect with Comeback Route beyond liking Lavender. Perhaps if I had read the previous stories in this series, I might have liked or connected with it more. As it's written, though, it didn't feel fully fleshed out, and I didn't really feel Tyler was good enough for Lavender.

You TV series

Wow, hubby and I watched You on Lifetime last night. It was creepy and suspenseful. Hubby likened it to Dexter , and I have to agree. Penn Badgley was on point - creepy, stalkery, but fascinating. I didn't think too much of Elizabeth Lail's acting, but I'm not sure if it was just that her character was bland, or if it was truly bad acting. Can't wait for next week!
