Today we have Blind Landing by Carrie Aarons.
Grab this sexy sports romance just in time for the Olympics!!
Synopsis
Fear stops dreams in their tracks before they even have a chance. Then again, so do injuries.
Natalia Grekov was born to win Olympic gold. As the USA’s top gymnast, she’s calm, confident and ready to make her country proud in just two short months. And her elite athlete lifestyle includes no time for distractions—especially men. When a disastrous fall in practice puts her dreams at risk, it seems the only person who can help her is the one person she wants nothing from.
Spencer Russell is gymnastics’ bad boy. A cocky, laid-back charmer with abs of steel and a witty mouth, he waltzes around the U.S. Gymnastics Training Camp like he owns the place—even though he doesn't anymore. After an injury sidelined his career and any chance at Olympic glory, he’s now just a coach, helping other gymnasts reach their goals. Serious is not a word in Spencer’s vocabulary. But when Natalia tumbles into his life, he's suddenly sincerely interested in helping the blonde beauty in any way he can.
Can they vault over the obstacles standing in their way? Or will Spencer be the distraction that causes Natalia's chance at gold to crash and burn?
I’m
only about ten feet from their table when a chair shoots out, nearly tripping
me. I stumble and try to hold my tray steady as I wobble for my balance.
“Good
thing gymnasts have some of the best balance in the world. Otherwise, I’d be
splat on the floor next to my eggs. As for grace, well, I guess not all female
gymnasts have that.” Righting myself, I turn to stare at the back of a sleek
blond ponytail.
“And
if males in general had any awareness at all, you would have seen me pushing
out my chair before you nearly tripped over it.”
Blond
ponytail whips around, and her smirk wipes clear off her face when she realizes
who I am. “Shit. Mr. Russell, I’m sorry …”
“Nah,
don’t worry about it, babydoll. I won’t tell Novak you’re mouthing off to
coaches. That is, only if you never call me Mr. Russell again.”
I
flash my mega-watt smile at her, because I’m trying to make her feel better.
But also because she is a very pretty girl. Or, woman, technically. Don’t girls
refuse to be called girls after the age of eighteen? Something about respecting
their feminine age or something like that? I’d have to ask my mom about this.
Natalia
Grekov, whether she was a girl or a woman, was a very, very pretty one. Long
blond hair, those exotic Polish eyes the shade of blueberries, with full, pouty
pink lips. She had the body of a ballerina, not the stocky gymnast build so
many of the girls here had. Natalia wasn’t big in the tits department, but her
ass … damn. Plump, beautiful and one I wanted to sink my teeth into. I know
because I’d been watching it since she got here two weeks ago.
“Okay
then, what should I call you?” Her smirk tells me she can play the flirting
game too.
As
a coach, I shouldn’t be fraternizing with the gymnasts. But … when had I ever
fully listened to Novak? I was barely twenty-two; this pretty girl would be
fair game if we were on a college campus.
“Well,
you can call me coach; it’s authoritative, domineering. I also like Mr.
Incredible or Sexiest Man Alive. But for regular everyday, you can just call me
Spence.”
