Tanya Martin is a gym teacher by day and wide receiver for the Cleveland Clash by evening. When she runs into her ex-best friend (and secret love) Cam Simmons, a Superbowl champion and MVP, on the same day as she finds her father’s gym in financial trouble, her day can’t get much worse. When Cam keeps showing up everywhere Tanya is, she’s at a loss on how to shake him. Cam knows he made a mistake by ignoring Tanya for so long. Now that he’s in Cleveland for a few weeks, he must figure out a way to make amends and maybe get her to accept him in a whole new light.

This was a quick read and good story. It was easy to see why Tanya felt the way she did. Watching her fall for Cam all over again and trying to stay strong while trying to save her father’s business was something worth reading. All of the characters were well written. I enjoyed reading about them as Cam and Tanya dealt with being reunited and re-learning each other all over again.

I highly recommend to anyone that likes strong heroines  and contemporary books with a sports theme.

About CROSSING LINES:

Party girl and standout wide receiver Jillian Bell sees no problem with her "no rules" lifestyle as long as she's scoring on the field. But her sexy new offensive coordinator doesn't see it that way.

Former marine turned successful restaurateur Carter Howl agreed to whip his father's undisciplined women's full-tackle football team into shape out of guilt. But the job comes with more trouble than he bargained for thanks to one spitfire of a wide receiver who challenges his every play.

When Jillian's little sister begs her to come back to their small-minded hometown and be on her best behavior at a family event, she unexpectedly enlists prim and proper Carter to help her keep her cool. But two days and one pretend engagement later, this straight-laced former soldier is doing all sorts of things he normally wouldn't. Is the wrong girl the right girl for him?

Charming characters. Emotional stories. Sexy romance.

returning to his hometown of Cleveland. He catches up
with his former best friend Tanya Martin, of the newly
made female football team Cleveland Cash.

The two of them have a lot of history, including the
personal history of the intimate kind. She is angry
with him at first - for staying away for so long -5 years
and no contact. Not even a Christmas card.

Cam cannot stay away from Tanya and basically follows
her until she agrees to let him back in as a friend.
The attraction is still there but Tanya has been hurt
and is so hesitant and scared that Cam knows he must
go slow with her or lose all he has gained back.

Tanya is a little upset to find Cam is everywhere! At the
family owned gym, the school where she works,
the restaurant her mother owns, just everywhere!
Cam does not want her to cut him out anymore and works
overtime to get back in her good graces.

Finally, she gives in to the chemistry between them and
he is so grateful to be intimate with her once more.
To show her how much she means to him. Tanya tells him
she just wants to be friends with benefits.

They both realize they have feelings for one another
and are both struggling with how to handle it. Tanya is
afraid to get to close with him going back to Boston soon.

Cleveland and he has a life in Boston. How do they bring
it together and make a life that is in both places? Is
what they feel enough to make a future?
