BLOCKED
By Jennifer Lane
New Adult Contemporary/Sports Romance
Released October 21, 2014
College
freshman Lucia Ramirez has a secret crush on Dane Monroe. He’s a tall drink of
water — blond, brash, and one hell of a volleyball player. Hijole. Lucia hopes her
volleyball scholarship to his school will make him notice her.
Too
bad what’s noticeable is Dane’s obvious hatred for Lucia. Her family’s politics
contradict everything he stands for. And politics are front and center in both
their families. Dane’s mother is about to face Lucia’s father in the race for
US President.
When
Secret Service throws them together, Dane can’t deny his frustrating attraction
to Lucia’s athletic curves and sweet faith in the world. Amid the intense
pressure of college athletics and presidential politics, can opposites not just
attract, but overcome overwhelming odds to be together? Or do their differences
block their match from the start?
Review by Mazzy Boss Lady
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
♦♦♦♦ I received an arc in exchange for an honest review ♦♦♦♦
I found this to be a really sweet read about a couple of young people who have found each other through their struggles in life.
The characters are realistic and likeable and also the writing and plot very good.
If your into sports romances then this is the book for you.
About the Author
Get
psyched for romance with psychologist/author (psycho author) Jennifer Lane! By
day she witnesses growth in her psychotherapy clients, and by night she
wrangles misbehaving fictional characters as she writes sports romance and
romantic suspense with a psychological twist. She can’t decide which is more
fun.
A
swimmer and volleyball player in college, Jen wove some of her own experiences
into Streamline—a military mystery about swimmers. And readers can
dip their toes into Jen’s world of swimming romance by sampling her free New
Adult novella Swim Recruit.
College
volleyball romance Blocked is Jen’s newest release,
launching 10-21-14. Peek inside big-time college sports and even bigger
national politics when the offspring of two presidential candidates find out
whether opposites really do attract, or their match is blocked from the start.
Stories of redemption interest Jen the most, especially the
healing power of love. She is also the author of The Conduct
Series, a romantic suspense trilogy that includes With Good Behavior,
Bad Behavior, and On Best Behavior. Ultimately, whether writing
or reading, Jen loves stories that make her laugh and cry.
In her spare time she enjoys exercising, attending book club,
hanging out with her plus-size, “I’m not fat, I’m big-boned” Izzie cat, and
visiting her sisters and their families in Chicago and Hilton Head.
