She lives by the bookβand is still searching for her happily ever after.
Darcy Wilde has tried hard not to live up to her last name. As a librarian in Atlanta she lives a fine life far away from the football-obsessed town of her childhood. But when her beloved Grandmother needs help, Darcy takes a leave of absence and heads back to the home and past she left behind.
He knows how to play the fieldβand is in no rush to settle down.
Robbie Dalton knows a thing or two about painful pasts. After bouncing around in foster care and the Army for years he is finally ready to move on and make a home for himself in Falcon, Alabama as the newest high school football coach. Sparks fly when the sexy new coach and the sharp-tongued librarian meet, but neither of them is looking to make ties.
But when it comes to love, sometimes youβve gotta throw away the rule book to cross the finish lineβ¦
Everything changes when Darcy falls in love, not only with the gruff, protective, and smoking hot man who's sharing her days and nights, but also with the complex tapestry of people who weave Falcon together. Could this be where she belongs - and who she belongs with?
Elizabeth B’s Thoughts
This book covers a lot of relationship ground and does it really well.
Darcy Wilde is a research librarian at Emery University when she returns to Falcon, Alabama to nurse the grandmother who raised her. To say that Darcy doesnβt want to be there is putting it mildly, but she firmly believes you do for family. Robbie βDaltβ Dalton is a former Army Ranger who has moved to Falcon to be near his friend, Logan, and be the new football coach/math teacher. He has a whole luggage cart of baggage that he brings with him. The attraction between these two is immediate and when they realize they canβt fight it, they decide to have a βfun for now relationship.β
Trentham does a fabulous job of developing Darcy and Robbie as characters and letting us get to know them. They both have a lot going on and seeing how they handle the other relationships and obligations makes you like them even more. There is a wonderful cast of secondary characters, including the town of Falcon itself, that help drive the story along.
While the story revolves around the romance between Darcy and Robbie, there are also themes about relationships in general running through the book. You see examples of family, friends, mentors, and community relationships that grow and impact our hero and heroine and ultimately their relationship with each other. Slow and Steady Rush is a feel good story that has you rooting for everyone involved and looking forward to coming back for more.
