Should she stay or should she go?

Aileen Nessa has seen Tyler Jensen around before.  They have been on the field at some of the same sporting events.  Now that she is checking out The University of Gatica, she meets him in person and gets to know him.

The Recruiting Trip (The University of Gatica Series Book 1) - Lexy Timms,Chelsea Jillard,Book Cover By Design
Tyler is sort of a spokesperson for the university since he has several awards and is basically a track star.  He is immediately attracted to Aileen.  She is in good shape, takes care of herself, and he has already noticed her at some of the events as well.

Aileen has many choices to sort through for college.  She is trying to find the best fit for her science based degree, while having the best track and field experience.  Tyler and the coaches talk to her about what this school has to offer.

Tyler is only sometimes on the track.  He schedules in football and of course, his studies.  He is popular and well loved.  He also wants Aileen to make her choice without influence from him.  He wants her to be where he is, though.

Aileen finds it hard to stock to her plans for Stanford, when Gatica seems to want her bad enough to open up the red carpet with a full ride scholarship.  What will she choose?

I learned a lot in this book.  Track and Field sports are not always well known among us common folk, but I was grateful the author gave me enough information to follow along.  The characters are fun to read about and the school is clearly interested.  I give this book a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP!

Cherry Pie (Mercury Rising Book 1) by Samantha Kane     Date of Publication: September 16, 2014   Blurb:   You can go home again if you can get a foot in the door.   Mercury Rising, Book 1   A year after packing and moving from L.A. to Mercury, North Carolina, John Ford still hasn't adjusted to the heat. Or to life without his long-time partner. As he fixes up the old house he bought, the quiet becomes his only companion, and he's content with that—until a deep-voiced stranger plants himself under a tree across the street.   Eight years ago, Connor Meecham left someone behind in that house—himself. Now he's back to find the man he used to be, before drugs and prison sent his life careening off the tracks. But it's not his mother's face peering through the window any more. It's a man who seems as lost as Conn himself.   When John learns what the house—and the dying town—mean to Conn, he finds himself opening the door to his heart. Just

This is book #6, in the True North series .  This book can be read as a standalone novel.  For reader understanding of the series, and too avoid spoilers, I recommend reading this compelling series in order. Skye returns to the place she hates the most to help out the sister she always wanted.  When she gets there, tables have turned.  There is now danger if she pushes too far in finding her sister.  Who can she turn to? Benito AKA "Ben" is a blast from the past, who has always had a thing for Skye.  She was the one that got away, and he has no intentions of letting that happen again.  He also has to find her sister and solve his case. While this author is a definite auto purchase, she always brings the goods to the table.  In this story, we get a second chance romance with such heart and heat that every page is a sizzling delight!  I loved the banter, and was eagerly turning each page to get to the next.  I give this book a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ***Th
