SYNOPSIS: 

“With the first pick in the 2015 NFL Draft, the New York Giants select…”

It’s been three years since quarterback Ares Kincaid’s NFL dream came true, and he’s living the high life. The days of cleaning up after his drunk of a father are long gone, and he has no intention of going back.

A car crash and DUI charge meant a lengthy stint in rehab for Arianna Petrelli, and her dream of being a professional artist slips further away when she’s sacked from her position at a gallery. Her need for a job stronger even than her dislike of football, Ari goes to work for her father, the head coach of the New York Giants.

Ares hates alcoholics, which is fine with Ari because she thinks he’s a brainless jock. Yet when Ares rescues Ari from a situation with her ex-boyfriend, an unlikely friendship begins – one that quickly becomes more.

But messing around with the coach’s daughter can only lead to one thing…trouble.

Review: Surj 

If you're after a quick read that doesn't fall short of all the magical ingredients that make up a good romance, then look no further then Samantha Towle's "Rush." Honestly, this author didn't compromise on the quality of this story despite this being a pretty short book. Instead she packed quite the punch when delivering Ares' story and surprised me a little too in the sense that I wasn't expecting quite so much angst and heart ache. Ladies and gents, prepare to feel that squeeze on the old heart time and time again as you navigate your way through this couple's bumpy journey. 

Samantha Towle touched a some pretty tough subject matters which I feel were handled in a very realistic and believable way and because of this, we saw some pretty turbulent times for each of the main characters. Ares had issues. Ari had issues. They shouldn't have worked. In fact they initially didn't courtesy of Ares. One minute he was all kinds of gorgeous and within a split second, he turned into this jackass of a man. Luckily Samantha Towle wrote his character well and so I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt and give him time to redeem himself despite my heart taking a battering in the process. 

As always with this author's work, "Rush" was a mixture of humour, wit, heart ache and angst, all perfectly packaged in this delightful standalone read (although I highly recommend you read "Ruin" too because, well Zeus is Aries' brother and of course where there's one hot brother, there's always a another and his story didn't disappoint either). 

"Rush" gets 4 ❤️'s .
