First Chapter Review: A Quarterback for Christmas by Linda West

 


Enjoy this First Chapter Review of the holiday sports romance, A Quarterback for Christmas by Linda West. 

BLURB: 

He's Buffalo's hometown hero. She's the one who got away. When fate and a little Christmas magic bring them back together, love might just score the biggest comeback of all.

When Buffalo’s hometown quarterback Nash Jordan gets traded back just before Christmas, his career—and his heart—are both on thin ice. A lingering injury threatens his future, until help arrives in the most unexpected form: Eden Landers, the woman he never stopped loving.

Eden’s a talented chef with a hint of magic in her kitchen, and healing others is what she does best. But moving into Nash’s guest house to help him recover stirs up more than old memories. Between snowstorms, laughter, and late-night meals, love begins to simmer again.

Can they trust each other enough for a second chance? Or will fear and fame keep them apart once more? 

Heartwarming, wholesome, and full of Christmas cheer, A Quarterback for Christmas is a cozy holiday romance about love, forgiveness, and finding your way home.
 

COVER: Isn't this a fabulous cover? Love the colors. You know right away what genre this is. The lit trees in the background are a nice addition. And Sir Wolfgang (the cat) flashes some attitude, which lets you know he is a force to be reckoned with. 

FIRST CHAPTER: Nash is coming off the practice field when a trainer says the coach wants to see him. That's when he learns his time with the Rams is over. He's been traded to Buffalo. 

KEEP READING: Will I keep reading? Absolutely! West wisely kept the opening chapter short to ramp up the tension. By the end of the second chapter, Nash's life has changed in more than one major way. The whimsical interior artwork is a nice touch. Though the reader doesn't meet Eden in the first two chapters, we know with Nash's quick departure from Los Angeles that it won't be long until she is on the scene.
