The synopsis: 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 now there's a new guy in town who threatens her starting position... suddenly she's hoping he'll see her as more than just a teammate.

My thoughts:  First off, how cute is this cover? Second - this book description caught my eye and reminded me of the Dairy Queen series which always grabs my attention at the bookstore but for some reason or another, I never follow through.  Between this and Shut Out (which I have on my wish list too), I knew I needed to read one of these and boy am I glad I got Catching Jordan first.  Light and fluffy without being frivolous, this was the perfect starting point and whetter of my appetite for more bada$$ girls starting on their respective school teams and having the wit and wherewithal to not need constant validation through any other means than proving themselves.  Jordan was an awesome character and Ty/Henry made me swoon throughout.  Bonus?  While there was the element of girl proving herself and making some/many eat crow, the romance element in Catching Jordan was to die and the real grabber of my attention.  I love that the expected outcome wasn't a sure thing in any part of the novel.  Looking forward to a) adding Miranda Kenneally to my to be watched list and b) immediately continuing to devour this trend/type with Shut Out.  Grab this book, set aside two (three max)hours for yourself sometime this holiday season, and enjoy.
