About this ebook

One minute I’m minding my own business at a party and the next I meet this woman who blows my mind. She’s beautiful. Smart. Funny. A little shy. I’m immediately drawn to her. We make an instant connection.

The problem?

Lady Susanna Sumner lives in London. 

I live in California

I play professional football.

She works part-time at an art gallery and lives off her family’s money. 

Her family is nobility. I come from a single mom who always scraped to get by.

Susanna and I should have nothing in common. But when we’re together, it’s…

Electric.

What are we supposed to do? Can we really make this work? I can’t give up my career. And I can’t ask her to move to California for me. All I know is, I want her in my life. 

Desperately.

Ratings and reviews

3.75 stars--THINKING ABOUT YOU is the second instalment in Monica Murphy’s contemporary, adult FOREVER YOUR erotic, romance series. This is twenty-five year old, San Francisco 49ers football player Cannon Whittaker, and twenty-three year old, part time art gallery worker, Britain’s Lady Susanna Sumner’s story line. THINKING ABOUT YOU can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary. FOREVER YOURS series is a spin-off from the author’s FRIENDS series. Told from dual first person perspectives (Cannon and Susanna) THINKING ABOUT YOU follows the building relationship between twenty-five year old, San Francisco 49ers football player Cannon Whittaker, and twenty-three year old, part time art gallery worker, Britain’s Lady Susanna Sumner. When the San Francisco 49ers are invited to Britain for an exhibition game at Wembley Stadium, all bets are off when our hero meets the woman with whom he will fall in love. Four days of sight-seeing and $ex ends with tearful goodbyes, and the possibility of a long distance romance. What ensues is the quick building relationship and romance between Susanna and Cannon, as they must come to terms with their plans for a future-together or alone. The relationship between Cannon and Susanna is quick to develop; an insta-lust/love romance that is dampened by the scheduled departure of our story line hero, a departure that comes with promises of more including face-time escapades and sexting. Cannon likes to talk dirty both in and out of the bedroom. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text. We are reintroduced to Cannon’s 49ers’ teammates Tucker McCloud, and quarterback Jordan Tuttle and his girlfriend Amanda (You Promised Me Forever #1) as well as Susanna’s brother George; their parents Lord and Lady Harwood, George’s co-worker Priscilla, and Susanna’s best friend Evie. THINKING ABOUT YOU is an uplifting and inspiring story line. The premise is imaginative and moving: the characters are sassy and flirty; the romance is seductive and captivating. The conflict is limited to distance and commitments.

Monica Murphy clearly knows how to write about these sexy footballers of hers. Thinking About You is about Cannon Whitaker, teammate to Jordan Tuttle, and his story is just so wonderful. I love that his hesitance to get involved long-distance with Lady Susanna Sumner did not stop him one bit. These two have chemistry from the start with his American bigger than life persona strangely charming to the waif-life Brit. They engage in witty banter that is just a prelude to the passion that ultimately share both in and out of the sheets, with Susanna breaking out of her prim and proper shell all too happily. Throwing caution to the wind, and defying her stodgy mum and the life she was presumed to lead, Susanna can't stop thinking about her man and it's only a matter of time that she and Cannon find a way to be together despite being thousands of miles apart. Her breaking out of the stifling restraints that are thrust upon her from birth was great to witness and Cannon's devotion to her truly warmed my heart. With great supporting characters in Evie and George, this is a sweet and sexy read that I thoroughly enjoyed. 4 solid stars!

I love that Cannon finally gets his story. He was the strong silent guy in high school. He did enjoy the fact that the girls liked he played football, but deep down he was always a gentleman. When the team goes to London for a game, he meets Lady Susanna and finds himself captivated. An incredible night together leads to a great few days but what happens when he has to return to California? Susanna is shocked that she is drawn to the ‘large’ football player but loves his open and honest demeanor. She is floundering a bit given that she comes from money and doesn’t really need a job. She is shocked at how much she doesn’t want Cannon to leave. As they try a long-distance relationship, will they be able to make it work? These two are combustible between the sheets while still enjoying each other’s company as they play tourist in London. It was easy to root for them to have a happily ever after. I voluntarily read an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.
