Former nurse Summer Jacobs has seen her fair share of suffering, but she never expected tragedy to hit so close to home. After watching her husband die in the MMA ring, Summer spends the next two years fighting her way through the darkness. The last thing she needs is another hardheaded athlete turning her life upside down. But that’s exactly what happens when she meets a gridiron star who’s as skilled at stealing hearts as he is at snagging passes.
Carolina Cougars wide receiver Evan Townsend usually has no problem winning fans, so he’s intrigued when Summer shoots down his go-to plays for winning a woman’s attention. Never one to back down from a challenge, Evan turns up the heat, setting off sparks that neither can deny. But as his slow seduction begins to chase away Summer’s pain, he gets the feeling that someone is desperate to keep them apart. Now Evan will do anything to protect her—because he never misses a chance to make a perfect catch.

Catching Summer by L.P. DoverMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Received from NetGalley for an honest review…
Summer has spent the last two years in therapy trying to overcome the horrific death of her husband in front of her. Trying to move on has been hard for her, but she is finally ready. Evan, the quarterback of the local NFL team has watched Summer from a distance and when he sees she is open to more than a friendship, he takes a chance.
As with all of L.P. Dover’s stories, there is more than just the surface level. These stories are well written, with many layers, they grip you right from the start and don’t let go; even when the story is over, you still think about it. The characters are real, they aren’t perfect, they have flaws. I think that’s one of the best things about Mrs. Dover’s writing, the characters. They are real. Good or bad, they are alive. You feel that you are in the middle of it, watching it all, instead of just reading a story.
This is part of the Second Chances series, but as with the rest, it can be read as a standalone. Characters from some of her other series are mentioned, but you don’t need to read them. You should, but that’s only because they are also amazing stories.
