The novel centers on football quarterback and up-and-coming NFL superstar Colton Michaels and the sexy cheerleader Jace Montgomery. Theirs was an unrequited love throughout their four years in college, but Colt finally gathered the nerve to approach Jace during their last spring break, leading to a super romantic getaway in Hawaii hidden from the entire world. However, their secret love fest was abruptly halted by Colton’s overbearing father, who threatened his son and Jace if they continued their relationship. About 10 years after Colton left Jace without any explanation (poor Jace), our cheerleader has grown to be a successful cheerleading master of sorts, while Colton continued to dominate the NFL while battling various personal demons, including alcoholism, his scheming and blackmailing Russian girlfriend (whose name I can’t even properly recall), and his unresolved feelings for Jace.
The author certainly knows how to weave stories and transition seamlessly from one scene to another without losing her readers. I particularly admire how Kindle always uses “HIS” (insert name) every time the other guy refers to his one true love. The writing may verge on the sappy side, but it’s so awe-worthy that it doesn’t even matter!
I was also totally hooked on Mitch, whom the author introduced in the latter part of the book (I suppose he will be the main character for the second book of the series – yay!), without deviating too much from Colt and Jace’s storyline. What an impressive transitioning ability! “Double Full” is a total sap-fest of a book, but it’s the good kind, so make sure to add this one to your to-read list. It’s so worth it!
