Summary: 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 Greeen 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."
Review: Loved the storyline, hated the language. I realize that this book centers around sports, but it is full of locker room talk. I was disappointed in the amount of swearwords, "f" words, but mostly how casual the topic of sex is handled. I wish the story could be re-written for a more conservative audience, because the story and the issues in this book are great.
