"Whoever said football and girls don't mix hasn't read Catching Jordan. I couldn't put it down!" — Simone Elkeles, New York Times bestselling author of the Perfect Chemistry series 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 on the line? "A beautiful novel with a real and captivating depiction of high school relationships, Catching Jordan shows the same reverence for the human heart that it does for the game of football." —Karsten Knight, author of Wildefire

"This was a fantastic read. I'm not really a fan of football. I don't really understand the game a whole lot and really have no interest in learning more about it. So, I was a little apprehensive about picking this one up and reading it. I'm glad I took a chance though. Because it was pretty great.<br/><br/>This was a little different from what I thought it was going to be. But I loved it. I loved watching Jordan realize a few things and finally go for what she really wanted, not just what she had. I was definitely Team Jordan. Reading her struggle with wanting to play college ball but having the disadvantage of not being born a guy really does play a role in this and I was glad to see Jordan work her way through all of it. I also loved the chemistry between Jordan and her teammates. They really had her back and didn't make her feel second rate because of her gender.<br/><br/>Loved the romance in this. It didn't play out like I thought it might (hence the vagueness) but I really got behind this aspect of it and really wanted Jordan to get what she wanted.<br/><br/>This was just a great read. Definitely worth buying and adding to your shelf."
"What I Liked:<br/>1. Jordan Playing Football - usually we don’t see a lot of women playing men sports, let alone football. As someone who loves football, I enjoyed that she was their starting quarterback and her team respected her and I was definitely rooting for her success throughout the book<br/><br/>2. Jordan Becoming Friends with the cheerleaders - obviously not all cheerleaders but I liked that Jordan gave Carrie and Marie a chance. I know Jordan gives off “pick me” girl vibes but I think the introduction of this friendship helped to offset it a little <br/><br/>What I Didn’t Like:<br/>1. Love triangle - usually I don’t mind a love triangle, but Jordan was so hot and cold between Ty and Sam. First she was super into Ty and then as soon as she found out Sam liked her, she immediately started to like Sam, but then kept dating Ty, etc. Neither guy deserved that…"
