Hail Mary

Nicola Rendell — 2016

At a boxing gym in Chicago, Mary Monahan accidentally knocks out the most handsome man she's ever met. After she wakes him up with a few slaps and some smelling salts, the very first thing he does is ask her out for ribs and beer. His name is Jimmy. He looks like a Gillette model. And he's just too hunky to resist. Jimmy "The Falcon" Falconi is mystified that Mary has absolutely no idea who he is. Mystified and refreshed. He is, after all, not your everyday NFL quarterback. He shops at Costco, has a soft spot for Pinterest, and is in the midst of an epic losing streak. Jimmy falls for Mary fast and hard, the way he does everything-balls out and like it's fourth and long. And he realizes he's finally met his match. That stamina he's so proud of? Doesn't stand a chance against her Kegels. But what they don't know is she's also his new physical therapist, recently hired by the Bears to work on his rotator cuff...and groin injury. If she can't help him, he'll be traded faster than they can say "offensive penetration." In spite of the thousands of internet memes featuring Jimmy's face with captions like: "HEY GIRL, WANT TO TOUCH MY BALLS?" Mary finds herself falling for him and his unrelenting desire to make her his. Until a toddler shows up at Jimmy's door. And throws their lives into total chaos.

Check out this and my other reviews at My Blog, Facebook, Google+, Twitter and Pinterest ★Book Basics★ Genre : - Contemporary Romance Series : - Stand Alone Love triangle? - (view spoiler)[No (hide spoiler)] Cheating? - (view spoiler)[No (hide spoiler)] HEA? - (view spoiler)[Yes (hide spoiler)] Would I read more by this author/or in this series? - Yes Rating - 4 stars ★Review★ Have to say, when this started I was unsure, for some reason I thought they were younger, and it started a little odd for me. But thankfully once the heroine knocked out the hero it got soooooooooo much better. I ended up loving this book. The heroine was great (although I do still think at times she seemed younger than she was) but I really enjoyed her as a character anyway. (loved the scene at the petrol station were she sees her Ex and gets a little revenge) The hero was adorably hot and sweet. All in it was a fun, dirty hot at times read with enjoyable likeable characters. Will absolutely be checking out this author more!

1.5 stars. So, months down the line and I reduced my rating from 2 stars to 1 to account for a half star as I round down now not up. I picked this up because of the following; * Mary gets accidentally knocked out by Jimmy at a gym. That is how they meet. How uniquely funny is that? * Jimmy shops at Costco and has a soft spot for Pinterest ie he is a down-to-earth guy, not a gazillionaire type (even if he may have millions to his name) * A toddler shows up (little kids in romance books are my jam) * Frankie Knuckles!!! I mean come on, who can resist that name for a dog? (pets in romance books are also my jam) and was really looking forward to all the humor it professed to spring towards me. And it did, but it also was so full of sex that it left little room for plot. Now don't get me wrong, I like some smexy scenes, but it has to have a lot of character and plot too. Hence the low rating.
