About this audiobook


College junior Lucy Washington abides by one rule-avoid risk at all costs. She's cautious in every aspect of her life, from her health, to her mock trial team, to the boring guys she dates. When a brash, gorgeous jock walks into the campus coffee shop and turns his flirt on, Lucy is stunned by the force of attraction. For the first time ever, she's willing to step out of her comfort zone, but can she really trust the guy who's determined to sweep her off her feet?

Entering his last year of college eligibility, linebacker Matthew "Matty" Iverson has the team captaincy in his sights. And it's his for the taking, if he can convince his quarterback Ace Anderson to give up the starting position. Luckily, Matty already has an edge-the hottie he's lusting over just happens to be Ace's childhood best friend. Getting Lucy on his side and in his bed? Hell yeah. Matty is more than confident that he can have both, but when he falls hard for Lucy, it's time for a new game plan: convince the woman of his dreams that she's not sleeping with the enemy.Contains mature themes.

    Jen Frederick scores a touchdown with Jockblocked the second book in the Gridiron Series! I loved this new adult contemporary sports romance. It takes place in the months after the Western State Warriors Football team won the national title. Linebacker Matthew "Matty" Iverson is pressured by his coach to convince the team’s starting quarterback, Ace Anderson, to play a different position on the team. Meanwhile, he discovers that the girl he has been pursuing, Lucy Washington, is Ace’s best friend. If you are looking for a football romance with a lot of football action scenes, this is not the book, but you will get a book that has a lot of other aspects about being a college athlete. You will get glimpses into off season weight training and team dynamics. My son was the captain of his ice hockey team this past year, so I loved the Matty was offered the position of team captain. I appreciated that being a team captain was never on Matty’s radar. I love that he is committed to his team and realizes how he made life difficult for the previous team captain. The team’s coach was screaming abuse of power. Unfortunately, that is a common occurrence in college athletics. Both Matt and Lucy are likable characters that grew throughout the novel. I like how they met. I like that Matty is not used to rejection but still pursues Lucy instead of taking on an easier conquest.My dad and father-in-law both suffer(ed) from diabetes, so I empathized with Lucy. I love how Matty handles the discovery and looks out for her. He is also a very thoughtful gift giver.Lucy is pre-law and on the mock trial team. I enjoyed this aspect of the story, especially the competition toward the end of the book. The team’s support is great.This was the first book that I have read by Jen Frederick. It will not be my last. I was impressed with her writing style. I enjoyed her plot and character development. I love her content and believable real-life issues. All around this was a fantastic book.Complimentary copy provided by in exchange for an honest review.

    Can the captain of the football team win the heart of the quirky driven girl who really sees through his bravado? If you love new/college adult stories that feature sexy sports stars with lots of steam then look no further than Lucy and Matty's story.

    This is book 2 of Ms Frederick's Gridiron series. This book stands alone as I can attest. The book was gifted to me from a friend in my reader group. After reading this story I definitely wanted to read the first, Sacked. Is it necessary? Nope. Jen Frederick's gives you a complete story and introduces the previous characters where you never feel lost. Did this story and it's characters connect with me? Well, to be honest no. But I'm definitely out of college and not have the issues these characters deal with. Was it an entertaining story that kept me moving through the pages? Yes, for a sports romance it kept my interest and entertained me with how Matty was going to convince Lucy to take a chance. Now, note the part that this is a sports romance. It's heavy on the sports and other college experience. Not bad but what was lacking in me to make a complete connection.

    This was a first time read for this established author for me. I recommend if you truly enjoy new/college adult romance books. 4.0 out of 5 stars
