Meanwhile,
Coach Ryan is discovering that it's not easy to balance atop the pedestal the
town has put him on. When this unlikely pair is drawn together over the future
of a young player--whose gifts may lie in the laboratory rather than on the
football field--they begin to wonder if they might have a future together as
well.

My Thoughts:
I am totally
in love with this series from Cathleen Armstrong. Every time I return to Last
Chance I feel like I am going back to catch up with characters who have become
true friends to me.
In this book
we get to meet Dr. Jess. A new physician who has chosen to make her home in a
small town that she has never visited. She is completely taken aback from the
small town atmosphere, and immediately makes friends with the Cooley family
that we have grown to love in this series. She has only one fault – her complete
lack of interest in football. Even I can’t imagine not having an interest in
the game of football, but Jess’ character has so much charm that I discovered I
was able to overlook it, haha.
We also get
to know Andy Ryan. Andy was the big-shot football player that got to play in
the NFL, but he’s back home and coaching the high school team. It doesn’t take
long for us to figure out that Andy is crazy about two things – football and
Jess. But his love of football runs so deep it almost becomes his fault.
However, I truly loved his character and his attitude towards the new high
school team. I loved that he fits right in with the Last Chance family, and he
doesn’t let his name become who he is.
This
installment in the Last Chance series is a winner. It has all the makings of a
great fall read – football, family and love. It was one of those books that I
just wanted to keep reading, and was pretty sad when it ended.
Add this
series to your must-read list for sure.
