Jason Black is a newly retired professional football player. Forced off the playing field due to an injury, he returns to his hometown to contemplate his future and finds solace in his relationship with his best friend, Samantha O’Brien.

Sam has spent the past five years caring for her younger brother. Home from college for Thanksgiving break, he parties hard and bullies his sister. When Jason comes to her defense, protecting her from a crowd of drunken college kids, Sam begins seeing him as more than a friend. Yet, she fears acting on their attraction could ruin the friendship she’s grown to depend upon.

Just one kiss changes everything for Jason. Sam is no longer the girl next door but the woman of his dreams. Now, he just has to convince her that his feelings are real. But when the football world comes calling again and career decisions are on the line, both sacrifice all to put the other’s needs first. They must decide whether to follow their hearts and make the catch of a lifetime.

This is a very short but well written story. You get a lot of information in a few pages but it doesn't feel rushed. The characters are well developed and the story line keeps you entertained, and wanting more. Even though we only get a glimpse into their lives you connect to the characters and you relate to their situation, and can help but cheer for them.

Jason is a football player who was forced into early retirement due to an injury. He moved back home with his parents while he got settle into "retirement" and made decisions on what to do with his life. Samantha has been taking care of her younger brother for the last five years. She moved back home after their mom passed away and gave up everything in her life to take care of him. Sam and Jason have been best friend for years, but as they start spending more and more time together other feelings start to surface. Both of them were afraid of how their feelings would affect their friendship and therefore tried to hide those feelings.

When they gave into their desire, just one kiss changed their relationship. Now they both need to make decisions as to what they want for their future, and if there is a future for them. Read this short, sweet story to find out!! <3

Entertaining little short story!

This was a fantastic light read for a relaxing evening. The only thing that slightly got on my nerves was the food on her face being a bit overdone. Kissing chocolate off the corner of someone's mouth is sexy. When a grown woman can't eat a meal without her cheek being smeared in teriyaki, a guy licking it off is a bit gross. I still enjoyed the story, though. :-)

Short but very enjoyable

For such a short book you get a really sweet love story. Many authors would have fleshed this out to be a longer book but it so doesn't need to be anything other that what we get .... very enjoyable!

Short, Sweet, and Satisfying!

Block out 2 or 3 hours and find a cozy spot to curl up and enjoy this delightful short novel! You'll be touched by the emotional story of the widow of an Iraq war vet who finds her longtime relationship with "the boy next door" evolving into something new. The hero is the kind of football pro that most women could fall for.

If you're a football fan, there's enough sports action to spark your interest. And if you aren't big on the NFL, there's just the right amount of sports action for you too -- not too much or too little, but just right.

The story takes place around Thanksgiving and will warm your spirit. I don't want to spoil the plot, but I do think you'll fall for Samantha and Jason. And you'll definitely enjoy the "sweet" ending.
