What girl doesn’t want to be surrounded by gorgeous jocks day in and day out? Jordan Woods isn’t just surrounded by hot guys, though – she leads them as the captain and quarterback on her high school football team. They all see her as one of the guys, and that’s just fine. As long as she gets her athletic scholarship to a powerhouse university. But now there’s a new guy in town who threatens her starring position on the team… and has her suddenly wishing to be seen as more than just a teammate.

What did I think of Catching Jordan? Umm.. well.. it was FREAKING AMAZING! There is just so much I could say about this book. It has romance, humor, love, loss, friendship, family – it has something for absolutely everyone. Even if you aren’t into sports – like me – or know nothing about football – like me – don’t even hesitate to pick it up. This is a masterpiece written by a brilliant mastermind that you Can. Not. Miss!!
*fangirling!*
Ok, phew. Now, let’s start with Jordan. Our dear wonderful Jordan who is over six feet tall, plays football and is considered “one of the guys” is completely loveable and such a sweetheart. She may be a tomboy, but she has the same teenage angst and emotions as any other girl. She wants to talk about her recent crush, vent about not being supported by her dad, and someone to teach her how she’s supposed to kiss. I connected with Jordan immediately – she made me laugh and cry. She made me feel her heart flutter and then break. This was a definite emotional ride that I won’t soon forget!
The romance is absolutely swoon-worthy. The chemistry in Catching Jordan is phenomenal. Not just the love chemistry either. A connection is deeply felt between all of the characters: the team, the friends, the families. It’s all so incredibly well-written with charisma floating off the pages that you’ll see these people come alive. This is the first book I’ve read that has made me laugh to the point of tears (I’m so glad I wasn’t in public) and now that it’s over, my heart is so filled that I desperately want to hug this book, marry it, and have it’s babies!
Catching Jordan is not simply a love story. It’s so so so much more; It’s about going for your dreams, overcoming obstacles and never giving up believing they will happen. You will undoubtedly finish this book with a smile on your face!
