That Boy

2019

by Jillian Dodd

Fall in love with the boy next door in this sweet contemporary romance by USA Today Best Selling Author, Jillian Dodd.

You know, being friends with two cute boys does have its benefits.

There's Danny. Danny is a golden boy in every way. He has dreamy blue eyes and blonde hair that always looks perfect, even when it’s windblown or been stuck under a football helmet. He’s the boy every girl crushes on. The boy I get into trouble with, the boy I fight with, the hot quarterback no girl can resist. Being with Danny is like being on an adventure. He has a bright, contagious smile and abs to die for.

Equally crush worthy is Phillip. Adorable, sweet Phillip, who I have known since birth. Phillip has dark hair, a perfect smile, brown eyes, and the sexiest voice I have ever heard. He’s the boy I talk to every night before I go to sleep. The boy who rescues me, the boy who can read my mind, the boy who is always there for me, the boy who tries to keep me out of trouble, the boy who irritatingly keeps getting hotter, and whose strong arms always seem to find their way around me. And when he gives me that grin, I can never say no.

One boy will give me my very first kiss. One boy will teach me to make out. One boy will take me to prom. And finally, one boy will ask me to marry him. They will both be my best friends. But only one of them will be the boy I fall in love with. Only one of them is That Boy.

If you're a football fan, love small town romance, and cute boys next door, you'll love the That Boy series.

Hard Wired: A Crash Course in Small College Football

2012

by Jebb A. Rebal

Hard Wired: A Crash Course in Small College Football reveals the competitive strategy and insider knowledge of college football, college life, and the grass roots evolution of politics that began in academia and now shapes the political aspects of our everyday life.

This fast-paced, biographical work contains layers of storyline with twists and turns that are poignant and startling. Join three young men’s true stories as they launch themselves onto the college football scene and refuse to be denied their impact both on and off the field.

These mistakenly overlooked college football players take over a struggling football team with their drive and motivation, all in an effort to rise to the challenge of one more football season. Living on the edge of college life as driven athletes, they face a dramatic conspiracy as they struggle in the face of athletic romance, real-world politics of organizational behavior, and creating their own futures as they are forced to lead the world around them much sooner than they ever expected.

Heavy is the head that wears the crown as these extraordinary athletes have decisions to make that are crowded by circumstances that continually provide opportunities for them to fail in rising to the level of achievement that they know they have earned. Understanding their romantic interests as they struggle not to be dragged under provides a highly insightful gaze into their world.

The dynamics of college football, deciding on a future, and motivation for achievement are illustrated here in a true story of the thin line between being an exceptional football player and the ever-expanding world of claims that all performers are equal despite the results that prove to differentiate those same performers.

At a new school, on a new team, joining the college ranks, these young men face more reality than they anticipated as they hold their future in their own hands and are first-hand participants in the real-world evolution of organizational politicking, power struggles, and the freedom to pursue the college endeavor as they see fit.

This true story offers an accurate overview of the inner workings and value of university education, college football, and organizational manipulation. It serves as both a remarkable story of college life and as an instruction manual to the pitfalls of the people surrounding exceptional individuals, in addition to the political motivations of higher education organizations.

Intended for mature audiences.
