Rush Me was a pleasant surprise of sweet romance mixed with a little of the spicier side of love. I've been a little hung up on hot and heavy romances featuring very dominate men lately. This book was a nice detour from that while still providing enough romance and sex, yes there is sex, to keep me from feeling like I was reading a YA romance.The subject matter was light and while Rachael has some issues, there are no heavy topics that can get really depressing like many of today's romances. Yes, there are commitment issues, fights, and very sad moments that make you want to scream, "What the hell are you thinking!?!" but overall, the characters are products of their pasts and present.This made the characters and the story so much more relatable, even with Ryan Carter being a professional quarterback. He was very realistic. His insecurities and flaws make him both appealing and frustrating. Rachael struggles with the image of what she thinks he is, that public image of America's favorite football player, and how she views herself.Rush Me is a contemporary romance that almost everyone can relate to. Rachael and Ryan experience what we've all experienced at one time or another; the insecurity of truly getting to know someone, letting them in, and risking your heart.I strongly suggest this book to anyone who loves a good romance, but if all the heavy topics and BDSM have been getting you down recently, Rush Me is the perfect, uplifting alternative that provides the romance with a dash of raunchy sex, without being overbearing sexually driven. And you will totally fall in love with Ryan Carter!*Ebook provided by publisher via Netgalley in exchange for honest review.
