Review / Release Blitz: Falling for the Rookie (Never Say Never Football Romance #4) by Carina Rose

Release Date: February 7

People rarely catch me off guard. I’m Collin St. James, after all, starting wide receiver for the Virginia Thunder, and playing football has kept me on my toes. But nothing could have prepared me to mentor our newest teammate, kicker Charlie Nicholson.

I wasn’t caught off guard because I had to take someone under my wing, or because Charlie was easily banging sixty-yard kicks through the uprights. It happened when the rookie’s silver helmet came off and long blonde hair spilled out. Completely baffled, I edged closer and took in the prettiest blue eyes I’d ever seen.

Charlie wasn’t only a complete knockout, she was also my younger sister’s closest friend, and when she smiled at me, I knew right then and there I was in serious trouble.

The last thing I needed was a distraction, but thanks to my gorgeous new teammate—and, to my surprise, my roommate—that was exactly what I got.

MY REVIEW

Collin cannot believe the gorgeous new kicker on his team is the nerdy best friend of his sister. The last time he saw her she was just a young girl that he barely noticed. Now she's a beautiful athlete playing on his team and living in his home. What's a wide receiver to do with his attraction to someone he shouldn't be thinking of as more than a teammate?

Charlie's always been focused on her studies, and nothing took away from them except perhaps her inconvenient and unrequited crush on her best friend's older brother. Now she has to live with him and play on his team and she's having a hard time keeping that crush at bay. But does she have to keep it to herself when she finds out it's not so unrequited any longer?

Gah these two are adorable! Sweet, swoon worthy and more than a little hot, Charlie and her man are the reason I love brother's friend/football/forced proximity so much.

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!
