But this book? She once bought into the complacency of safety. Patterns repeat themselves, in life and love. Re-order the equation and matters of the heart are in safe hands. Sometimes you need someone to put in the fight so you can find your own. And sometimes you need a well-meaning friend to show you what you really need - to brave that basement. Anxiety demands a list of plans and certain outcomes, the future can be micromanaged if we control It.
This story gives voice to an unsteady and unanchored trust in faith. That faith being enough to hinge those fissures is permission enough to breath bonelessly while being insecure in love.
A slow, anxious dance of doubt. Sometimes raw. But a truly meaningful article of faith. A unique, heart-blessed standout in a genre where many books summit the same salted wave.
Past infidelity. Some swearing and sex scenes. I also kind of wanted to see Zach maybe taking a step toward playing sport again, even just for fun. But it did find that their relationship was a bit underdeveloped. It becomes a tad more depressing. Life with any brand of an anxious disposition can be very treacherous.
As an anxiety sufferer I know the struggle. Nothing stopped us. Until that last whistle blew, we would be there, on our feet, fighting for the win.
We were in it together, no matter what was to come, and we would fight for the win. For each other. Until the last whistle blew. They want to know where you work, what you do for a living. Where do you go to recharge, to find peace? I snapped my hands up just in time to catch it before it hit me square in the chest, and I fought to keep my jaw from dropping. My parents never let me bunker down and hide my emotions when I had them.
Whether it was a bad day for me out on the football field or just a simple fight with a high school girlfriend, they forced me to talk about it. And through that, I learned how to recognize my feelings, how to dissect them, and how to move forward.
That was how powerful love was. It could save you, could help you live for the first time, see the world in a new way — but it could also knock you to the ground, the force so blunt you never forget the way it felt to fall. Failed love built walls, but it was our choice whether we decided to hide behind them, or sit on top of them, waiting for someone to come along who could knock them down. I was the latter, but something told me Gemma was the first.
Where you wish he would tell her what he is thinking and be willing to take that risk Would it take away from his Macho Appeal Well, if done right, all it does is make the guy sexier Kandi Steiner took this deep reader's desire and ran with it. She created a man who could make any woman's panties melt, have all the goods to deliver on that promise, and have him in touch with his feelings and able to communicate them Did she create a Unicorn Man Well, sort of Zach came from a family that functioned with real communication.
They talked about their feelings without shame. They had experienced real life with death risks and came out the other end. All of them had sacrificed for the good of the family and were stronger for it. But it did make for a reality check and understand the hurts the heart experienced was something to steer clear of in the future Gemma thought she had had it all A man who would never look at another, who made her feel like his princess and she felt her life was set. Then she discovered it was all a lie.
She saw with her own eyes his betrayal She made her plan, made the list of how to proceed She had her new residence ready to go The confrontation was set Then fate took Gemma's well-laid plans and shot them all to hell Gemma was confronted with a decision to make and then lived it till the end.
Now she is on her own, does have her one solid rock in her bestie and boss. Having her girlfriend supporting and looking out for her has been everything. It has been a trying time for Gemma. She has slowly been coming out of the hurt haze and is now being encouraged to get out there by her bestie. Gemma does have the means to make a dent in her emotional life.
She had bought season passes for the Bears. Gemma is a true blue Bears fan. She was introduced to them by her beloved grandfather for he was the one who primarily raised her. He taught her how to be strong, caring, and able to handle everyday challenges.
He taught her to set a goal, figure out a plan, and make it happen to completion. He was her family. You may have heard the cliche of the "shoemaker's kid never has any shoes," well, Gemma was a product of parents who put together a book about childrearing and then became absentee parents to her. She hardly ever saw them. They never practiced anything they preached. So here is Gemma with her Chicago Bears season passes which she had bought to enjoy with her ex-husband.
Her bestie is trying to get Gemma out there and takes her to the local sports bar to break her funk. When they sit down at the bar, both Gemma and Zach the bartender, catch a look at each other. A little spark passes. Gemma listens to what her friend suggests, a way to enjoy the Bears game, a new man each home game, and a plan to have the control Gemma needs.
Before Gemma realizes it, her friend has set up her profile on a dating app and makes it live with a provocative description. Zach hears what her friend said what the definition was This leads to conversation, banter, flirting and Zach offering himself up as a test candidate for Gemma's Football Game Plan.
Gemma wants to take a different guy to each home game, no repeats- leaving her in control of her life. Yet, she is scared and Zach offers to be her test subject. He understands she hasn't dated in forever, that control is everything and she needs to get over the hurdle of getting out there.
Zach actually relates in his own private way. He had his whole life figured out. He was deadly talented, a future football Hall of Famer. He was scouted by all the college teams and was on his way with a full scholarship ride. Then things happened in his family he couldn't ignore. He had choices to make and he chose what was best for the family.
No more football, which revealed his longtime high school sweetheart was in it only for the promise of football fame Zach knows the pain and hasn't been interested in relationships either. Gemma decides to take Zach up on his offer Both kidding themselves there was no real interest They go to the game, it goes really great, the attraction is real mixed with the mutual love of the Bears.
Zach is drunk on Gemma; a woman who actually loves football for real! Gemma loves what she sees, feels so comfortable yet tingly when she is with him. She takes him back to her place and Oh, My My!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gemma gets scared of how much she is liking Zach and feels she must take back the sense control of her feelings.
Zach wants more and Gemma shuts him down. Well, Zach understands her need for control. He backs away yet also wants to explore more with Gemma. She thinks all of this is a game and Zach has never let a game get the best of him He decides he is in for the long haul This was a delight. Kandi Steiner gave us a strong, sexy man who had no problem delivering on everything a bedpartner would want plus adds the unusual ability to be in touch with his internal feelings.
