“Love Sidelined” by Tiffany Odekirk
I absolutely LOVED this book! I loved the realness of the characters and their struggles… I even loved the story line even though I’m not into football and sports. Although the characters are early to mid 20’s, I felt like they were mature for their age and had real life experiences and decisions to make about their future-not petty, young adult drama. The chapters alternated between Jason and Allie’s experiences and points of view which I really enjoyed.
This story mentions “The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints” christian beliefs and church experiences throughout, but readers not belonging to that church will have no problems following and enjoying the story line.
This story is a clean, christian, romance drama. Lots of laughs, even some tears… I absolutly loved it!
I received a copy of this book complimentary for blog and social media review. All opinions are my own.
About the Book:
Jason Jennings made a tough call two years ago when he left behind his status as a hard-partying star quarterback in order to serve the Lord. Recently returned from a mission now, he’s ready to get back on the football field at UCAL. But despite turning his life around, his bad-boy reputation is proving hard to shake.
Allie Hollis is everything a cheerleader should be—beautiful, outgoing, and smart—but her brilliant smile hides a devastating secret. So when Jason begins to show interest in her, there’s no question: her answer is no.
Yet, in the face of Allie’s chilly response, Jason’s gentle persistence pays off, and a tentative friendship grows. Their chemistry is obvious, but Allie’s determination to steer clear of a relationship with Jason goes deeper than he realizes. When the truth of her painful history comes to light, the couple must decide whether they will remain on the sidelines or jump back into the game of love.
