Jessica Montgomery has always lived by three simple rules: stay calm, stay professional, stay in control. Working tirelessly to make it into the executive ranks of her family's business, her dream job of CFO is within reachβif she can convince one stubborn and sexy Alabama restaurateur to take her offer and manage Montgomer Industries flagship restaurant in Atlanta.On the surface Logan Wilde is all good-old-boy charm and humor, but he can't seem to outrun the hell-raising reputation of his high school years. Although he has thought about leaving his hometown in Flacon Alabama, he has grown to love the town, his restaurant, and his part-time gig coaching the football team.Jessica estimates it will take a week tops to get Logan Wildeβs signature on her generous offer, but their first meeting is anything but professional. Logan shreds Jessicaβs control and unleashes a passion she didnβt know existed even as a deeper connection between them takes root. When her family's manipulations threaten to tear them apart, Jessica has to decide whether her dream is really the CFO job or the man who has unselfishly offered his love.
What if what you have worked your whole life for a goal, just to discover that maybe it wasnβt really what you wanted? In a roundabout way, thatβs what happens to Jessica Montgomery in Caught Up in the Touch.
Jessica is 29 and has spent her life trying to measure up to the expectations of her father who is also her boss. He sends her to Falcon to woo Logan Wilde to work for their company. Things donβt go as planned and Jessica ends up changing her entire life.
Jessica and Logan are both great characters; they both have struggled with themselves in the past and have come out stronger. I loved their interactions with each other and how they went from slightly adversarial to friends to a couple. One of my favorite themes in the book is one of acceptance and support. You see it in the relationship between Logan and Jessica, but also in the relationships of some of the secondary characters.
Caught Up in the Touch is the second book in the Falcon Football series, but it didnβt feel like it. For starters, it takes place roughly 2 years after the first book and while the main characters from the first book make appearances, their story doesnβt impact that of Logan and Jessica. This is an incredibly well written book that is both fun and heartfelt; I am looking forward to coming back to Falcon to see what happens next.
