Title: Catching Summer Series: A Second Chances Novel Author: L.P. Dover Genre: Romantic Suspense Release Date: April 5, 2016

Former nurse Summer Jacobs has seen her fair share of suffering, but she never expected tragedy to hit so close to home. After watching her husband die in the MMA ring, Summer spends the next two years fighting her way through the darkness. The last thing she needs is another hardheaded athlete turning her life upside down. But that’s exactly what happens when she meets a gridiron star who’s as skilled at stealing hearts as he is at snagging passes.

Carolina Cougars wide receiver Evan Townsend usually has no problem winning fans, so he’s intrigued when Summer shoots down his go-to plays for winning a woman’s attention. Never one to back down from a challenge, Evan turns up the heat, setting off sparks that neither can deny. But as his slow seduction begins to chase away Summer’s pain, he gets the feeling that someone is desperate to keep them apart. Now Evan will do anything to protect her—because he never misses a chance to make a perfect catch.

Review by Lora

4 out of 5 stars

Summer Jacobs has faced unbelievable hells in her life. She’s trying to recover from those and is doing a pretty good job, but meeting Evan Townsend is the key to her new life.

I enjoyed this story so very much. This is my first book by Ms Dover and I can promise that it won’t be my last. She has a refreshing writing style and made it easy to fall in love with the characters...not just Evan & Summer, but all of them. (((I’m especially eager to see how things work out with the best friends in the next book…..at least I hope they get the next book!)))

I enjoyed that this story wasn’t just about consummating a relationship. It wasn’t just about lust, but really finding love and making love all that it can be. Evan is patient and Summer is ready. They come together to form a great bond.

There is a twist, but unfortunately I totally saw it coming from the very beginning which is why I only gave the book 4 instead of 5 stars. It was a great twist and I enjoyed the book that much more for having it, but I just wasn’t surprised enough.

I highly recommend this book if you’re looking for a read that will make you fall in love with the main characters as well as the supporting ones. And even though this was part of stand-alone series, I never felt like I was missing anything having not read the other books….that being said, I’m off to find the others and read them, too.
