And it's Monday Everyone!! But to cheer all of you up I'd like to introduce once again Erin, who I first introduced to everyone on  Saturday  !   Erin has written her first guest review for The Romance Bookie, and it's... Catching Jordan  by Miranda Kenneally!! One of my absolute favorites!!! From Erin: From  Goodreads : ONE OF THE BOYS What girl doesn't want to be surrounded by gorgeous jocks day in and day out? Jordan Woods isn't just surrounded by hot guys, though-she leads them as the captain and quarterback of her high school football team. They all see her as one of the guys and that's just fine. As long as she gets her athletic scholarship to a powerhouse university. But everything she's ever worked for is threatened when Ty Green moves to her school. Not only is he an amazing QB, but he's also amazingly hot. And for the first time, Jordan's feeling vulnerable. Can she keep her head in the game while her heart's...

Still on My Mind is a weekly meme, featured on Thursday, started by Haley over at Ya-Aholic , where you discuss a book you've either recently read, or read over the past few years, that's still on your mind. Catching Jordan!!! That's this week's Still on My Mind is Catching Jordan by Miranda Kenneally! Read this one January and LOVED it so much! It was one of those books I just couldn't put it down, and I believe I read it in less than a day! Which honestly, doesn't happen very often! Goodreads Description: "Whoever said football and girls don't mix hasn't read Catching Jordan.

OMG guys!! I have been looking forward to this day for a couple of weeks now!!! This is going to be so awesome, because guess who I have for an interview today???? Miranda Kenneally!!!! Okay, so I'm guessing you already saw the title, but come one??? Isn't it AWESOME???? I mean seriously, the author of TWO of my favorite reads from this year agreed to do an interview with ME!  The Romance Bookie!! I am just stoked on life right now!! Anyway let's get cracking! The Romance Bookie: What was your inspiration for Catching Jordan and your newest release, Stealing Parker ? Miranda Kenneally: My inspiration for Catching Jordan was to tell girls to follow their dreams. For Stealing Parker, my inspiration was to show people that you should always do what you feel is right, no matter what other people think or if it will hurt your reputation. TRB:  Did you put any of your own characteristics into Jordan and/or Parker ? For instance, perhaps Jordan's...

I have been DYING to read Miranda Kenneally's newest book since Catching Jordan since reading, said, Catching Jordan back in January!  I absolutely LOVED CJ!  It was just one of the best contemporaries I've read in a long time!! So when I pre-ordered Stealing Parker last week, and saw the next day it had already shipped, when it isn't supposed to be released until October 1st, I was stoked on life! And then that stokeness factor just went up even more when I received said-book-I've-Been-waiting-for-for-months I ripped open that Barnes and Noble package and devoured that book in about a day-and-a-half!
