I’m keeping this short and sweet since I’m achy, but that seems to be the trend nowadays. In other words, listening to books, while slowly writing. I’m close to finishing poetry month, but I haven’t solved the blog space issue. I went into August thinking I wanted to participate in Read-a-thin and Nevermore-athon, but to fill in the board of prompts, I can’t read from my current TBR, since I went into it unprepared. However, I finished one board and have already completed 18 books. Sam is currently hosting WWW Wednesday from Taking On A World of Words.

This is how love rolls…
For teacher Ava Williams, some subjects are not up for debate. Like history—specifically, the one she has with Grace Jones, bowling pro and local celeb. Who is now, for no identifiable reason, teaching at the same small-town Georgia high school as Ava. Once upon a time, they were thick as thieves, best friends, rivals who pushed each other, and total bowling nerds. Then they shared a kiss, sweet and confusing…and after that, they split and nothing was ever the same.
Ava is pretty sure she has every reason to hate Grace. Especially when the school’s soggy potato of a principal announces—finally—that the students can have the bowling team Ava has been pushing for, for years…only to hand it to Grace.
Now they’re expected to be partners and lead their new bowling team to victory in six months. And with that, their rivalry is back. Fierce, ultracompetitive…and with an undeniable attraction that pushes, pulls and crashes together. It’s history. It’s chemistry. And it’s just a matter of time before it explodes…one way or the other.

Quinn Matthews has been Timber Falls’ strongest woman for five years running—until professional bodybuilder Ava Richardson arrives in town with perfect technique and a mysterious past. What starts as friendly competition over a charity strength contest becomes something much more complicated when these two powerhouses discover that the best kind of strength comes from lifting each other up.

Can they spot each other through personal records and personal feelings without dropping the weight of their growing relationship?
A heartwarming romance about finding your match in the most unexpected places—and learning that true strength isn’t about what you can lift alone, but what you can build together.
