Today I am reviewing Jessica Wakefields upcoming release Right in Front of You.

Description

Can he convince her that he’s not going to break her heart?

Rachel Marshall, a sports nutritionist, will do anything to save her mother’s health. Even travel to the tiny town of Trinity Lakes to bring bad-boy NFL player, Hayden Donovan, back to Texas.

Despite turning over a new leaf, circumstances conspire against Hayden Donovan that sees his bad-boy reputation the center of viral social media outrage. His past won’t let him be the better man he’s determined to be.

When his nutritionist, Rachel, turns up to find him in Trinity Lakes, he sees an opportunity to strike a deal. He’ll help her get the medicine her mother needs if she’ll help him show the world he has truly changed.

A friends-to-more, ex-NFL player, small town contemporary Christian romance. Book thirteen of the Trinity Lakes Romance series (can be read as a standalone). Visit Trinity Lakes and meet the fun and quirky characters who value family, faith, and happily-ever-afters.

My Review

Thanks to the author for my review copy.

This is the next book in the Trinity Lakes series. I enjoyed this book. It is different having Hayden a retired NFL player and Rachel a Sports Nutritionist and of Filipino descent. I am not an American football fan partly cos I don’t understand the game but this book doesn’t feature the game. Hayden is recently retired and some of what he deals with could be any professional sport when a player retires but is still a headline name.

After an incident Hayden goes to help his grandfather pack up his home in Trinity Lakes to move to a retirement village. We see Rachel follow and we get to see a few characters from other books. We hear mention of the 2 Rhonda, and many of the local attractions.

Hayden is trying so hard to be more than his on field nickname and prove he has changed. Rachel has her own baggage and it clouds her opinion of sports stars. Watching both characters deal with issues and insecurities from their past was good and seeing the changes.

While you can read this as a stand alone reading the series would enrich your experience. I would recommend if nothing else reading book 3 Lisa Renee’s I will always choose you as it introduces Leah and her back story who is in this book.

Jessica Wakefield’s writing gets better with each book she writes, looking forward to more from this author.
