About this eBook

In the football world, quarterback Christopher Montgomery is known for his cool-headedness, his determination, and his steely self-control. He’s about to meet his match.

***

I would do anything to help out my mother, including taking in a stranger for the summer.

I’ve never met Grace Lee, but Mom tells me she’s a quiet and artsy college student with a troubled past. When I agreed to let her stay with me, I expected to share my apartment with a sullen girl who’d spend hours locked in her room.

As the quarterback leading my team to victory, I’m known for keeping a level head under pressure. I didn’t anticipate a walking fantasy determined to make me lose my cool.

I didn’t expect a woman with secrets so dark, so deep, I’d throw away everything if it would save her from the past.

Rushing in to do this favor is turning my life upside down. Keep her out of trouble? Grace is the trouble. And I want in.

RUSHING IN is a standalone novel and the second in The Blackhawk Boys series.

Football. Secrets. Lies. Passion. These boys don’t play fair. Which Blackhawk Boy will steal your heart?

Ratings and reviews

I loved this book so much. Its my favorite in the Blackhawk series so far. You will feel emotional, angry, sad, happy ...all of the above. I just love Lexis book.

I have never been so emotionally invested in a book! Wow!! This book absolutely floored me. I was so emotionally invested that I could feel Grace’s feelings: the innate fear, the yearning to be accepted, the smart a$$ mouth to make her seem like she doesn’t care, the fragile child locked away, the woman who wanted nothing more than to make her father proud. I loved every bit of Grace’s story. And then there was Chris… I am always drawn to the “bad boys” in romance novels. The “alpha males”. Chris is the inherent “good guy”. The boy next door. The all star athlete. The hero. The panty melter!! He swept me off my feet early on, and that never changed. I’m looking forward to reading the next chapter of Grace’s story! (*hint, hint, wink, wink Lexi!!!) *I was gifted an early copy of this book from the author in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion on this book*

Lexi Ryan continues The Blackhawk Boys Series with another amazing and emotionally compelling story, RUSHING IN. Quarterback, Chris Montgomery agrees to let his new step sister Grace Lee live with him over the summer and to keep her out of trouble. What he didn’t expect was the undeniable chemistry between them. This contemporary sports romance takes place in Blackhawk Valley, Indiana, and in Champagne, Texas. It is suitable for new adult audiences. I loved this story! The characters are extremely well-developed and show tremendous growth throughout this story. Chris is a great guy. He was raised by his single mother, Becky Dupree. He is a really good son who appreciates everything she did for him. He understandably has issues with his father who wanted nothing to do with him. He does what he believes is right and will stand up for those that need help. Becky Dupree is an amazing woman. She was a terrific mother for Dash and is the perfect step-mother for Grace. I love that she believes in Grace. Grace is a likeable character. She was bullied as a kid for having a stutter. She wanted to fit in and made mistakes in her youth who are still haunting her. She had to deal with some awful people. My heart went out to her and the things she endured. I can understand why she had a crush on Chris. I would have too. I love the internship she gets over the summer. I Was glad that Grace had Willow for support in Champagne. I love that Mia and Bailey from book one, SPINNING OUT, befriend Grace in Blackhawk Valley. She deserves to have good girl friends. The plot was believable and expressive. The characters had a lot of obstacles to overcome. There are so many things that happen in this story. Lexi Ryan is truly a gifted author. RUSHING IN had me mesmerized from start to finish. I cannot wait for Sebastian’s story, Going Under, expected to be released December 6, 2016. Complimentary copy provided in exchange for an honest review.
