This is a weekly meme hosted by Jill from Breaking the Spine. "Waiting on Wednesday" spotlights upcoming releases that I'm eagerly anticipating.
All Lined Up by Cora Carmack
Pub. Date: May 13, 2014
Goodreads says, "When your dad is a coaching legend in Texas high school football, your life isn’t your own. That’s why Dallas Cole can’t wait to get to Rusk University and finally get out of her father’s shadow. But when he makes the jump to college ball—at her school no less—it’s déjà vu all over again. Now, half the team (and all their groupies) avoid her like the plague, convinced she’ll tattle to her notoriously hardass father about a frat party or a bent curfew. The other half just wants to use her to get closer to the coach. And then there’s Carson McClain, the supremely hot, newly transferred second-string quarterback. Oblivious of her identity, he approaches her at a party, and for once in her life Dallas decides to kiss first and ask questions later. While the heat between them is undeniable, Dallas and Carson have more than a few issues to tackle. He’s a football player with a lot to prove. She’s the coach’s daughter who just wants a life of her own. How can they possibly win when they’ve both got so much to lose?"Two things you should know about me: 1) I love football. 2) I am obsessed with Friday Night Lights. So, doesn't this book seem made for me? I have never read Carmack's books before, but I have heard they are a lot of fun. What do you guys think?
I think I'd like this more than her other series. I tried to read Losing It and didn't care for it but this sounds more like something I'd enjoy.
ReplyDeleteYes! Anything that reminds me of FNL is a must read for me. :) Thanks for visiting, Christina!
DeleteWhen you read this, you need to let me know how much of the focus is on football. I like the sound of the story and I've enjoyed Carmack's books in the past, but I feel that aspect of it might get a little lost in translation for us non-US/non-football loving readers.
ReplyDeleteYes! If I get my hands on a copy, I'll be sure to let you know. Thanks for dropping by, Leanna!
DeleteIs this from a series? Haven't heard it before.
ReplyDeleteHere's my Wednesday post.
I believe it is going to be part of a new series. Thanks for visiting, Michelle.
DeleteI didn't love Losing It, but I really enjoyed Cora's writing style. Plus I love romance books with sports! <3 Great pick, Christina!

YES! I am all about that. :) Thanks for visiting, Aimee.
DeleteI'm super excited for this one too Christina! I'm a huge Cora Carmack fan (I hope you will be too after reading this one!), and I love the coach's daughter setup, so I can't wait to get my hands on this book:)
ReplyDeleteI remember you really liked her books and I like the sound of this one, so hopefully it won't disappoint. Thanks for visiting, Jenny!
DeleteI still need to read her Losing It series. I loved Friday Night Lights, so I guess I am going to have to add this to my TBR list as well.
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy it!! Here is my WoW: http://jacquesbooknook.blogspot.com/2014/03/waiting-on-wednesday-trial-by-fire-by.html

:) I'm glad we feel the same way. Thanks for dropping by, Christianna.
DeleteI gotta try FNL sometime. Maybe this summer.
ReplyDeleteOh, man. FNL is amazing. I am still sad that it's over. I have all the DVDs though. I think you would like it, Juju. Thanks for visiting!
DeleteThis book sounds like it was made for you, Christina!! I hope you get to enjoy it soon!
ReplyDeleteI know, right?! So excited to check it out. Thanks for visiting, Becky!
DeleteI haven't read anything by Cora Cormack yet, but I've heard great things. I love me some football, too. I liked the movie Friday Night Lights, but never got into the series. It's on Netflix, but so are a million other things. Lol. Someday. Great pick!
