Did you have a crush on someone back in high school and college that maybe never happened or if it did just a little while and then you grew apart? I’m sure lots of us had those at one time in our life. Now some of us can laugh at the crush we had back then because if we went to a reunion that hot high school guy is now bald, gained 100 pounds and a used car salesman or the gorgeous girl has been married a few times, works in a restaurant but yet still trying to look like she is back in high school. Now I am not saying there is anything wrong with being a used car salesman or a waitress at all because those are great jobs and definitely necessary. I’m just stating a fact that I ran into at one of my class reunions. We also had a guy who was a geek now awesome at his job and looking pretty handsome, some jocks still playing sports, a couple of stayed in their fields of study and are doing well, etc.. But one of the greatest things we saw at the reunions was that a few people who crushed on each other during high school actually rekindled their romance a few decades later and are so happy with each other. So it does show that there is always a chance that love can happen at any age in our lives and to never give up. It also shows that we have this mindset sometimes back in school of what people should be when they “grow up” and sometimes those standards are pretty high, not only in our minds but in the minds of the individual.
This brings me to the following book – Catch & Release by Tracy Solheim. It was just released today and is one that you need to add to your TBR list. I have read Tracy’s books for year and are lucky to get an ARC to review. I will admit that this one seem to go a little slow at the beginning but I am not sure if it was the book itself or maybe just the mood I was in because I know that does play a factor. The couple though does have a chemistry and now to find out if it can stand the test of time. While this book is 3rd in the series, it is a stand alone so you can read it before the others. You will though in it get a glimpse of some of the other characters in the series as they are intertwined in this.
With a name like Trey Van Horn in a book you can’t help but visualize this tall, good looking, rich, jock who always gets what he wants, in your head. Reading this book, Trey definitely lived up to his name. He is the star Quarterback for the Milwaukee Growlers, comes from a rich family and strict in so many ways. When a woman from his past popped up not only in his work life but also his personal life, all those rules he had set were about to go right out the door. Could he handle her being there again or would he let the past information & his parent’s failed marriages/relationships rule the way he continued his life.
London Headley was successful in so many ways in the PR business and the company Westwood Agency. Now that the Agency would be bought by a very well known company she knew she had to work harder, especially on one of that company’s biggest clients and the yearly Growler Gala. But what she had never imagined that she would be seeing her first love, the first boy to break her heart, in her life again, Trey. But there he was front and center being the Growler’s rep for the Gala. She also had thought she was completely over him, but once she saw him, all those teenage hormones came back full force. Now the question was if he would break her heart again as they became Friends with Benefits, or would he finally be ready to talk about why he truly hated commitment.
