This is book #3 in the Seattle Steelheads series.  This book can be read as a standalone novel.  For reader understanding, and to avoid spoilers, I recommend reading this series in order.

 

Tyler has just won his second Super Bowl.  Yet he feels nothing at all.  He is numb.  Something has to give.  When tragedy strikes, he finds himself doing the last thing he would have suspected.

 

Lavender had plans to be the owner of a cat.  She was to upgrade a historical home.  Then her friend dies, and it is all gone.  Even the cat.  Should she stick around and teach the new owner what it is like to appreciate the beauty that is where she lives?

 

This book was completely unexpected.  A whole new concept, and a very good pace.  The characters start out basically hating one another.  I found the emotions to feel real and the story to be different.  It was interesting for sure.  The characters are interesting and their reactions to one another entertaining.  I give this a 3/5 Kitty's Paws UP!

Jami Davenport scores a touchdown with SNAP DECISION.  Seattle Steelhead's quarterback Tyler Harris is willed a run-down mansion on an island in the Pacific Northwest.  He keeps bumping heads with his new next-door neighbor, Lavender Mead, who is not a fan of football players.  This contemporary sports romance is suitable for adult audiences.

 

SNAP DECISION is a clever and fun read.  I enjoyed the banter between Tyler and Lavender.  They are very entertaining.  Tyler is a complicated character.  He is a talented football player who lost his passion for the game.  He’s questioning his worth.  He doesn’t let people see the real him.  Lavender is an enjoyable character.  It is understandable why she does not like/trust football players.  I like how their lives overlapped.

 

I enjoyed the plot.  I thought the history behind Twin Cedars was interesting.  I love Cougar the cat.  I liked the cuss jar, it added amusing moments.  All the details made the story perfect. I always enjoy Jami Davenport ‘s writing style.  It flows well and is entertaining throughout.  I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.

 

 

Will the pain of her past keep her from having a happy future? Will one mistake deter the football star from risking his heart on forever? Snap Decision is a fresh start for two wounded souls. Tyler follows the rules on the field, but has his own maneuvers outside the arena. When a hint of scandal tarnishes his heart, he seeks some solitude to lick his wounds. What he gets is a smart mouth, firecracker with her own baggage to sort through. Lavendar has no time for the big ego and bright lights of Tyler's star. With her own emotions weighing her down, she can't possibly take on anyone else's. That is until Mr. Big Ego teaches her a few lessons in life, love and happy endings. Davenport scores high marks with her wise words and captivating characters.

Bad boy quarterback Tyler Harris plays ball for a living and breaks hearts for a hobby.

 

With two championships in as many years, Tyler is the best quarterback in the league. Gorgeous and rich, he's at the top of his game. Women love him. Men want to be him. Only Tyler's not feeling the love. In fact, he's not feeling anything at all. Licking his wounds after a scandal and a breakup with his long-time girlfriend, he retreats to a run-down mansion on a remote island in the Pacific Northwest. Once there, Tyler is blindsided by the sassy redhead next door. He knows that he's met his match and possibly his soulmate. There's one problem. She despises him.

 

Lavender Mead has a good reason to dislike jocks, namely an absentee father who deserted the family to coach college football. Maybe that explains her penchant for bad boys -- especially those who play ball. Her new neighbor seems just that type. Yet Tyler's not the shallow superstar she expected, and she's inexplicably drawn to football's bad boy. The two are so hot together, they're combustible.

 

As the clock ticks down, can they commit to each other forever? Or will they both fall short of the goal at the last minute?

That’s right, folks. This is a choose-your-own-adventure novel! I didn’t even know people still wrote these. I still remember spending hours upon hours just trying to survive a reading of Give Yourself Goosebumps. (I don’t think I ever did make it to the end alive, no matter how many times I went back and choose differently.)I’m not really sure what to make of this. I certainly would never choose to review a novel like this–I came home, and there it was, sitting in my mailbox, with a nice little sticker from the publisher. And since I’m (mostly) caught up with other review requests and ARCs I’m supposed to get through, I decided what the heck? (Now that was a snap decision.)Honestly, this took me maybe half an hour. I thought I would first go through picking what I thought I would actually do, and then go through again and pick everything the opposite of what I would do. But even then, this read maybe took me half an hour. So I went through a few more times and tried different combinations. I’m sure I didn’t go down every possible path, but I got enough of a gist for the book as I could in order to decide how to rate and review it. Bridie Clark is a pretty funny writer–sure, the second-person is really weird, but I can tell that if she wrote a “normal” novel, it’d be really funny and engaging. If she decides to write something that isn’t a choose-your-own-adventure book, I’d definitely read it! However, that’s the real downer about this–it’s a choose-your-own-adventure novel. It screams third-grade, and the whole “adventure” takes you through maybe one night. None of the endings I ran into actually had consequences, but just ended the night with the vague promise of tomorrow. Not terribly exciting. But still–it was fun while it lasted.An ARC of this book was provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review.Read more?
