Tucker and Shelby this story is the journey of Tucker Jackson from angry young man to the happiest man in the room. He is a football player who has a hairpin trigger on his anger. Losing a game set in motion consequences that at first glance could ruin his future. What did happen was life changing for both Tucker and Shelby. Read this story for a peak into the life of a professional football player and how his life is changed by a plain girl who works at the local community center for kids.

This is the first book I’ve read by Lorana Hoopes, but it definitely won’t be my last. I throughly enjoyed reading Run with My Heart. This book is a clean read that deals with anger issues, forgiveness, love, and most of all believing that God will help you. I loved all of these characters, especially Tucker and Shelby, but you’ll fall in love with some of the kids that go to the community center that Shelby manages. The best thing to happen to Tucker was having to volunteer at the center for his community service. I definitely recommend this book to readers of all ages. Grab your copy and see what kept me flipping the pages. I can’t wait to read more books by this talented author.

I’m a sucker for a football heartthrob who falls for the unlikely girl and this book didn’t disappoint. Tucker is the typical jock on the outside with layers underneath, while Shelby is the girl who quietly sits in the background secretly wishing the right guy would take notice. In our introduction to Tucker we meet an angry young man with a chip on his shoulder. Through no choice of his own he’s sent to work at the neighborhood community center. Shelby isn’t impressed with the disgruntled attitude of her new volunteer. She doesn’t have time to babysit him. She’s too busy barely keeping things afloat at the center. I like how two such disparate personalities connect on a personal level, find out what a little faith can do, and don’t miss the opportunity for love. Read this book and find out why I recommend it. I was given an ARC courtesy of the author and this is my honest review.
