Catching Jordan by Miranda Kenneally

I thought this book was pretty good. It’s about Jordan Woods, the starting quarterback for her school. The problem is that she’s a girl…and girls usually just stick to cheerleading. The guys on the team sees her as one of the guys which is good as long as she can still get her scholarship to a powerhouse university. 

Then Ty Green moves to her school. He’s an amazing quarterback…like one of the best and he’s also hot. Jordan suddenly feels vulnerable. Can she still lead her team or will Ty be chosen to do so? 

When Jordan becomes closer to Ty, she realizes that he’s actually a great guy. Not just one of those cocky jocks. Is Jordan making the right choice? Or is there another guy out there for her?

Miranda Kenneally does a great job writing a book about a girl who loves football and is considered as a good quarterback. The story is something new and there are some twists in the story that some readers may not expect. I surely didn’t expect them. 

Anyways, the book is great and fans of Romance, YA, and sports books should definitely consider reading this book!

Other books by this author are Stealing Parker and Things I Can’t Forget. 

What I Didn't Say by Keary Taylor

This was a very heartwarming and touching story! The author has personal experience because she herself has lost her hearing in her right ear. 

Jake Hayes is a senior. He’s a football player and their team has just won a game. Jake and two of his friends got drunk one night and they ended up crashing the car. He lost the ability to speak. His two friends got off with only broken bones, but they healed eventually. 

Jake has two choices: he can just be depressed about being mute or he can learn from his mistake and keep living his life. 

Then there’s Samantha Shay. Jake has been in love with her since he first saw her their freshman year, but he has never told her that he loves her and now he might never be able to do so. Samantha is pretty much on track to be the valedictorian of their school. She’s perfect and Jake loves everything about her. 

However, this year there’s something going on with Samantha. She looks tired and she seems to have lost weight. As Jake tries to get used to being a mute, he also grows closer to Samantha Shay, the only girl he’s ever loved. Does Samantha love him back?

The verdict: Great story and if you’re a fan of YA Romance, then this book is definitely for you! The chemistry between Samantha and Jake was amazing and Jake was really sweet. It shows how true their love was and that Jake would take care of Samantha no matter what. They were meant to be together.
