Darcy Wilde cannot believe she has returned to the small town
of Falcon, Alabama. Having grown up with her grandmother,
Darcy had done everything in her power to be the opposite of
her wild mother, who was more interested in drinking and drugs
than looking after her daughter. As a successful research
librarian in Atlanta, Darcy thought she had left her football
obsessed childhood home in the past. But when her beloved
grandmother, Ava, broke both of her hips,her cousin Logan
needs Darcy to return. Loving Ava deeply, Darcy agrees to help
but only for a short time. Darcy believes her future could
never be in Falcon.
Robbie Dalton is the outsider in Falcon. Having served with
Logan, Darcy's cousin, in Afghanistan, Logan had convinced him
to settle in Alabama, and take the position of head football
coach. If he can drag this team up to scratch, this could be
the perfect place for Robbie to find the solitude he desires.
Having grown up in foster care, Robbie struggles with emotional
scars
that affect him just as much as his war wounds. Not used to
trusting, Robbie is shocked to find himself opening up to
Logan's sexy and sweet cousin, Darcy.
When a misunderstanding threatens Robbies position as coach,
it is up to Darcy to fix it. Faking a relationship, Darcy and
Robbie soon realise they cannot keep their hands off each
other. As a deep and satisfying passion stirs to life between
them, many obstacles threaten to block their way—jealous
housewives, troubled teens, and angry youths who go too far.
When tragedy strikes will Robbie face his fears of inadequacy,
and be there for the woman of his dreams? Or will Darcy leave
and return to Atlanta, nursing a broken heart?
SLOW AND STEADY RUSH by Laura Trentham is one of those stories
that just envelops you at the beginning and makes it
impossible for you to put it down. Darcy is such a likeable
character, and as I watched her gain more self confidence and
realise her worth, she blossomed into a little spitfire.
Robbie is handsome, intelligent, and hilariously blunt in many
situations, but underneath his brash exterior is the injured
heart of a caring and protective hero. Watching their
seriously steamy relationship unfold was so enjoyable, and
as the novel took more serious twists and turns, I was glued
to the page, to see how it would end. So my recommendation is
buy SLOW AND STEADY RUSH by Laura Trentham now! Oh and I can't
wait to read Logan's story next, I hope.
She lives by the book—and is still searching for her happily
