Paige

He was my first love and my greatest heartbreak. Now he’s my assignment.

I’ve worked too hard to get my dream job at the largest paper on the west coast, and I won’t let Jack Fuller, the league’s most notoriously private quarterback ruin this chance for me. But the moment we lock eyes, all those old feelings come rushing back in a way I’m completely unprepared for and instead of holding onto my hurt, I find myself giving him another chance.

When I push back against writing the article, my bosshole editor threatens to get what he wants, one way or another. The only way I can protect Jack is to spin the story myself. Will Jack be able to forgive me when I tell him what I’ve done?

Jack

A reporter and an extremely private quarterback shouldn’t mix, but she’s not just any reporter—she’s my ex and the only woman I’ve ever loved.

Paige O’Malley has owned my heart since I was sixteen years old, but I was a dumb, cowardly kid and let her go when things got hard. Now she’s here and I know I only have one chance to win her back. I refuse to lose her again.

Until I’m blindsided by an article I never saw coming and suddenly I question if any of it was real or if she was just using me for a story the entire time.

In the Grasp is the first steamy standalone contemporary sports romance in the LA Wolves series.

Paige and Jack were in love as teenagers with promises to love each other. Jack calls it off the following year. Nine years later they cross paths. Will their love rekindle or not that is the question? A good read.

4.0 out of 5 stars An Awesome Debut!
Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2021

In the Grasp is the debut novel by indie author Cadence Keys. This is the first in her LA Wolves football series and is a second chance romance between Jack and Paige. Paige and Jack were childhood friends that began dating in high school, but when it came time to leave for college, they broke up. Both Jack and Paige have gone on for years, still harboring feelings for each other. When they end up in the same town for the first time in years, can they get a second chance at love?

I grew up in a family with two brothers that were talented football players. I spent my childhood being dragged to their games and practices while I kept my nose buried in my books. Football romances weren’t super popular at that time, but while I was reading about Lairds and Dukes, I was secretly harboring crushing on all those swooney football boys. Is it any wonder then that my Kindle is literally packed with sports romances these days?

Paige’s new dream job at a prestigious LA newspaper puts her back in Jack’s life. Jack has been burned by the media before, so he demands they keep their personal and professional lives separate. Paige agrees, even though she’s also promised her editor she’d get him the scoop on the reclusive Jack and his life off the field. I liked that Jack was open and honest with Paige about his feelings from the start, though I wish these two would have spent a little more time resolving the previous breakup. Even me, a sucker for a quick burn romance, wanted these two to put on the breaks just a bit.

Overall, this book was enjoyable and a super steamy and quick read. There were several enjoyable scenes with these two and even some fun over the phone, which was hot! At the end of this book we got a teaser of the next in the series and I’m very interested how the next couple’s love story will turn out. If you’re a fan of authors like Alexa Martin or Naima Simone and their football series, you’ll enjoy this book.

I'm pretty disappointed with Jack. He ruined his chances and he gave up on his love for Paige when they were teenagers. Because of long-distance love and it makes him not concentrate on football. and when they meet again nine years later Even though Jack says Paige is his only love. (But he had a girlfriend when he was in college lol) But for me…I think he loves himself the most. Unfortunately, Paige forgave him too quickly. Despite the pain and suffering of her breakup with Jack. Although I loved their chemistry, I was disappointed by Jack in the end and thought he didn't deserve Paige. Or get a second chance from Paige. because in addition to him not trusting her He still doubted her. After all, it was him who had hurt Paige. and after he knew the truth Instead he rushed to find her. But he sends mugs and letters...I sometimes wonder if this is an expression of Jack's love for Paige? (At first I thought he would show his love for her and try to fix what happened. with an interview with the media about her and tell the whole world how much he loves her but i guess wrong hahaha) I think if he wants a second chance He should have done more. I think his love for Paige is unstable. He made mistakes over and over again. And he gave up on his love for her too easily. It made me wonder if he loved her enough to give up everything even if he said that to her.

Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2023

This is a tough one for me to review. The characters were really engaging and the story was really interesting. The writing was fine, but I still struggled with the book. One issue I had was I thought the beginning part told from the past was too long. So that made the story lag for me. Then the second part started out fine but I think something with how I knew the story was going to go and seeing some repetition of what had happened before, I just struggled to stay engaged with it. I ended up skipping to the end after chapter 23 and sort of working my way back.

Really great debut! Sports romances aren't my go-to but I picked this one up and I'm so glad I did! The writing is fantastic, the plot exciting and fast paced, and the characters memorable. Jack is a dreamy football star while still being sensitive -- a perfect combo. I think it's hard to do a good guy POV but Cadence does! It reads smooth and steamy. You'll quickly consume this one and find yourself waiting for book 2. I know I am!

I really wanted to give this one 5 stars, but it just fell a little bit short. Whilst I enjoyed the read, I felt a little frustrated at Paige. I wanted a little more fight, for someone who had her heart broken, I wanted her to give him hell and make him beg.... I wanted a feisty, boss lady, and she fell short.
