Jock Row by Sara Ney
5.0

I'm pretty sure I've decided that Sara Ney can do no wrong. She writes sweet, sexy, funny romances. I love the characters. The fact that there isn't necessarily a huge tragedy or horrible back story is really nice sometimes. As much as I do enjoy those stories, sometimes it is just nice to sit back and read and enjoy a sweet love story. Two characters that become friends and that turns into more. No cheating, no unrealistic jealousy over things that are just something a normal person would realize was the past. Families that were, well, normal. In fact I loved Rowdy's mom, a romance writer. And his dad was funny too. Especially when he was trying to give Rowdy the safe sex talk. I definitely feel like the characters were normal in their nervousness about who would be the first to actually use the "L" word. This was also a very quick read. If this was summer and school was out, I'm pretty sure I'd have stayed up reading one night until I finished it. As it was, I did stay up later than I should have reading it. I'm also glad to be getting in on the series at the beginning, since I didn't get in at the beginning of the How to Date a Douchebag series. Of course I'm going back and reading all of those as I can, because they are so good. While that series was about wrestlers, so far this one is about a baseball player, probably my favorite type of athlete.

I'm also SOOOOOOOO excited at the chance to get to meet the author in July at the big Book Bonanza Convention in Denver, Colorado. So to wrap it up, if you like to laugh, enjoy saying "awwwww" at sweet romance, appreciate a book you can't put down, and love to get the tingles in your own lady parts from sexy scenes, this is the next book for you.
