Rush By: Samantha Towle

(N) It's been three years since quarterback Ares Kincaid's NFL dream came true, and he's living the high life. The days of cleaning up after his drunk of a father are long gone, and he has no intention of going back.
      A car crash and DUI charge meant a lengthy stint in rehab for Arianna Petrelli, and her dream of being a professional artist slips further away when she's sacked from her position at a gallery. When her need for a job becomes stronger than her dislike of football, Ari goes to work for her father, the head coach of the New York Giants.
      Ares hates alcoholics, which is fine with Ari because she thinks he's a brainless jock. Yet when Ares rescues Ari from a situation with her ex-boyfriend, an unlikely friendship begins - one that quickly becomes more.
      But messing around with the coach's daughter can only lead to one thing...trouble.

      Samantha Towle has done it again, once I started reading Rush I just could not seem to put it down. The love/hate relationship between Ares and Arianna in the beginning of the story is great, you can really tell that even though these two want to hate each other there's still a growing attraction between them. Towel does a great job at showing just how thin the line between love and hate really is.
