Blurb:

Noah

Coach. That’s who I am. The strong, levelheaded, always-dependable coach.

But then my wife left me. And my daughter—well, according to the town—she ran off and left me too. Now I’m branded with scandal.

My reputation is at stake, and I have to play by the rules if I want to keep my job.

But then . . . Along comes Chance Leighton—a rule breaker with a scandal of his own. And worse, he’s not from here. He’s a Big Bend Bear.

I need to keep my head down and follow the rules of this town. This town that’s kept me in their perfect package since day one.

But he makes me want to rebel. To break free and live my life how I want.

So I have a choice to make. A choice that rivals all others. One that’ll change everything.

Chance

He’s the coach. I’m an outsider.

There’s no bigger rivalry than the one between the Big Bend Bears and the Kensley Panthers. But here I am, forced to work alongside Kensley’s stubborn, grumpy coach.

There’s no way he’ll give me a shot. He sees me how they all do—wrapped up in scandal and exiled from the only place I’ve ever called home.

Just for being who I truly am.

He follows the rules. He believes in a strict structure. It’s worked for him. But I want to chip away at this town’s idea of him and see the real man.

Can rivals become friends? Can they become even more?

I don’t know the answer to that, but we’re about to find out. Because he’s so much more than who this town makes him out to be.

It’s up to him, but I’m ready for the challenge if he’ll just reach out and take it.

About Defender:

Travis Wyatt

All I’ve ever wanted was to go to college and get out of Kensley.That small town is all I’ve ever known. I want to be free to be myself, not stifled by small minds in the football-loving town where I grew up.

And then I blew my one and only chance.

So now, I’m just stuck. Stuck in small-town life, with the same small-town people I’ve always known. Stuck where I don’t want to be. Constantly on the defense and hiding secrets about myself. To never be the real me.

I’m lost, and I’m angry. But those people I was desperate to get away from, they don’t stop. They insist on showing me that maybe it’s not about my location.

That maybe I can be free right where I am.

Oakley Easton

Travis is way too uptight. I don’t know why. He has everything a guy could want—a steady job and friends who would do anything for him. A great simple, small-town life. But I guess that’s not what he wants.

He’s always been different. Better. Smarter. Stronger.

Still, I find myself wanting to show him everything he’s dreamed of is within his grasp. That he doesn’t have to be so serious all the time. That he can be himself wherever he is, and I’ll back him up.

Because that’s what I’m good at—on and off the field. I’ll always be his defender.

If he’d only let me.

My Thoughts:

The author starts the reader off with a playlist. If you like country music, I think you will enjoy her choices. For me this was a story to read without first and then because I want to, I will go back and add in the music. 

 

Oakley just wants to hang. You have to like his personality because he tries to pull people out of their shell. He will also give you some chuckle moments as the story moves along. Travis doesn’t seem to be happy with his life right now. He’s like a lot of people, they think they know which way they want their life to go and then a curve ball is sent his way. Theirs is a relationship that forms naturally with Oakley leading the way. But like a lot of relationships there are some bumps in the road. 

 

If you’ve never experienced this author before, this would be a good place to start. It is a part of a series, but the first two books aren’t needed to understand her writing style. Once you finish though, that would be a good time to go back and read books one and two.
