Book: Going Long

This story starts 2 years into the relationship of Reed and Nolan (Yes I read the series backwards, but it didn’t stop me from falling in love with these two).

“I’ve learned that sometimes love is hard. Life makes love hard, constantly pushing against you and finding things to throw your way”

Reed and Nolan have been together since high school…. Reed is a start football player “Arizona Wildcats” while Nolan is on a scholarship…. Yes they are at 2 different colleges, but Reed and Nolan put the work in, she drives over to his school for all his games, while he drives up to see her every weekend (when he has no games)…. Reed is currently deciding if he will exercise his eligibility to enter the NFL draft, which means a lot of changes for Nolan if she’s in this relationship for the long haul.  Reed really loves Nolan and only wants her to be happy; Nolan feels the same way about Reed but small insecurities have plagued her life…. She does not want to uproot her life and move to where ever Reed might be chosen by, and then to have it all ripped from her if Reed decides to leave. Clearly Nolan never understood the power of love.

“It knocks you on your ass. But then you get up. You get up, because that person, the one you love more than anything on earth…. Well, putting it bluntly, like my father taught me, they make getting your ass knocked down worth the trouble.”

Mid-way through this book Nolan gets the shock of her life,  now torn between telling Reed her secret and talking about his impending eligibility for the draft has her all kinds of worked up.  The secrets lead to them feeling betrayed, hurt and insecure.  But what Reed later realizes is that LOVE is not easy, you’ve got to work for it, work to find/get love and work to keep love.  I totally enjoyed this book (Yes I will read book 1 to see where it all began, but I don’t think It’ll change my mind from loving Reed & Nolan). With good friends and love Nolan & Reed were able to get their HEA.

I gave this book 5 Stars

So hoping Ms. Ginger will give us a little novella allowing us a little glimpse into Nolan & Reeds new life and maybe find Sarah a man (God knows she needs to find a good man).
