Forward Pass

The life of a professional football player is more than just fame, fortune and beautiful women. As a quarterback, Keith Connors has a few extra things to deal with. Becoming a single father leaves Keith with the problem of finding a good nanny for his baby boy. Fate steps in and brings him not only a woman from his past, but also the perfect nanny.

Tina Black is a small town girl dealing with the death of her mom and the horror of being raped. Taking a nanny position is the new beginning she needs and falling in love with Keith’s son was an added bonus. Falling in love with Keith, and possibly having him return those feelings, was something that Tina thought impossible. Surely a handsome, worldly man like him wouldn’t be attracted to someone like her. Or would he?

Forward Pass is the second book in The Gridiron Lovers series and it touched my heart in a wonderful way. I wasn’t expecting such deep emotion from Keith, considering he is a professional football player. He wasn’t ruined by all the fame and money, because he was really just an average guy. His honesty with Tina about one particular groupie made my jaw drop; I wasn’t expecting it. And I was amazed that Tina wasn’t as meek as I originally thought. The history between Tina and Keith was cleverly written and adorable. Ann Jacobs has made me a fan of the series, and if you read this love story, you will be too.
