About this ebook

They fell in love in high school and found their way back to one another despite the odds. But can first loves really be forever?

For Reed Johnson, the dream was always football. But then Nolan Lennox took over his heart. She was the good girl who made him want to be better—made him whole. Whatever man he was becoming, he owed to her. The life he dreamed of was right there to take—bowl games, national championships, and maybe...going pro. But a hundred of miles of desert between them and four long years of college ahead might prove to be the toughest challenger of all.

Hearts can’t help but want to play defense when they’re wounded, and some wounds seem impossible to heal. But Reed Johnson isn’t the kind of man who backs down from the challenge. He digs in, and he fights—just like the woman he loves taught him to do.

But is he willing to give up his first love just to keep his true love? Or will he be too late?

    I totally fell in love with Nolan and Reed's story in Waiting on the Sidelines, and I was so excited that Ginger Scott was writing a sequel, because I just wasn't ready for their story to end. Nolan is one of those characters that just grips your heart and becomes a part of you. I really connected with her in Waiting on the Sidelines. I felt her pain, her insecurities, her hopes and dreams, and her fears, and that feeling just continued right on in Going Long. Nolan and Reed's story begins in Waiting on the Sidelines while they are in high school, and continues until the beginning of their freshman year in college. Going Long picks up a couple of years later, and continues through college, with a fantastic epilogue that wraps things up several years down the road, which was so wonderfully perfect. While I totally loved Nolan in the first book, I only liked Reed, but I didn't love him because frankly, he was really a jerk and hurt Nolan badly. He did begin to redeem himself in my eyes at the end, but he still had a ways to go, and I just didn't know if he could truly be trusted. I am happy to say that in Going Long Reed won my heart completely, totally owning me. The book is written from Reed's and Nolan's point of view, which I enjoyed so much, and in my opinion, Reed stole this show in my eyes. He was amazing. He did have his hardheaded male moments a few times, but overall he was fantastic. To experience in his words the way he truly felt for Nolan was beautiful. Of course I still loved Nolan also. She really goes through a lot in this book, experiencing the gamut of emotions from one end of the scale to the other. She is still really insecure in her relationship with Reed, though she tries her best not to show it. I really can't blame her. I think I would feel the same way to. I mean the guy is hot, he is the star quarterback in college with national press coverage, and is already being approached by the NFL for pro football. He has girls hitting on him all the time, and though he isn't interested in them, it is still really hard for Nolan. She is really beautiful, but she doesn't see herself that way. They were also at two different colleges, which made things more difficult, and then there were some lack of communications episodes, along with some not so nice people that wanted to sabotage things, which didn't help. They really endured so much in this book, good, bad, and ugly, but one of the things I really liked about the plot and the way Ginger Scott executed it, was that it was real. She didn't sugarcoat things. There's was never an insta-love, but there was true love. It was a love that progressed over years, with all the ups and downs you would expect to see from the teenage years to new adulthood, one that gets knocked down and then gets back up again, because true love never fails. The secondary characters in this story are really awesome to, and they also felt so real and played such a big part in the story. You could tell that the friendships that were forged in this group were the kind that are lifelong. Going Long captured my interest from beginning to end, and I literally couldn't put it down and wound up staying awake until the wee hours of the morning to finish it. Overall, I loved this series and I enjoyed so much being a part of Nolan and Reed's, along with their friends' journey through rough waters, calm waters, and everything in between, as they carved out their places in life.
