Synopsis

From the New York Times bestselling author of the Kowalski Family novels, a sweet, sexy new series about taking hits, making second chances, and finding love…

They were the golden boys of fall: Stewart Mills High School’s legendary championship winning football team. Fourteen years later, they’re back to relive their glory, save the team—and find themselves again…

Chase Sanders’s life has taken a lot of crazy turns lately. But returning to his hometown to help his old coach keep his high school football team afloat might be the craziest thing to happen to him yet. That is, until he starts falling for the last person he should—Coach’s gorgeous daughter…

Kelly McDonnell learned the hard way that cocky, charming men are nothing but trouble, so she knows Chase is bad news. Still, she can’t resist his smile—or the rest of him. But when his loyalty to her father conflicts with their growing attraction, any hope for a relationship might be blocked before it can even begin…

Michel’s Review

Shannon Stacey has a new series out that blends the magic of small town romance she is well  known for writing.  In her new series Boys of Fall, she is featuring guys that played for the high school champion team fourteen years prior.  They were legends in their home town.  Like most small town youth, these guys moved on to bigger and better things after high school.  They moved as far away as they could.  Fourteen years later they are brought back home to help out their coach raise money so that the high school can keep their football team.

Chase Sanders was the running back for the champion Stuart Mills High School team.  He is now in the construction business in New Jersey.  His life is falling apart.  His girlfriend has cheated on him and dumped him.  His business partner has ran off with all his company’s money.  He is losing jobs and his good reputation.  He broke and broken.

One phone call gives him a reprieve from the disaster his life has become.  He is summoned back to Stuart Mills to help raise money for the high school football team.  His old coach was his mentor and gave him more in life than his family did.  He would do anything to help him.

When he gets to Stuart Mills his life will change drastically.  He forgot how small town life was.  People were invested in one another for all the right reasons.  Sure they may know each others business but it is still a far cry from city life.

Chase will once again get acquainted with his coaches daughter Kelly.  Kelly has become a strong beautiful woman with a sense of integrity, compassion, and strength.  He is attracted to her.  He can only let the attraction go as far as a vacation affair.  He has nothing to offer Kelly with his life being in shambles.

After reconnecting with his old football buddies, the town members, the high school ball players, his coach’s family, and Kelly; Chase will begin to see things in a different light.  Kelly may be the new beginning he needs.  Stuart Mills may be the place he can once again call home.

I enjoyed the first book in the Boys of Fall series.  All of the characters and town members came to life.  Shannon Stacey weaves magic in small town romance.  I look forward to the next books in this series.
