Happy
"Book Hook" Day
May I 'hook' you on "I think I love you"
my latest release in the Australian Sport Stars series?
"I think I love you"
is set in Melbourne, in the wonderful country of Australia.
I hope you get hooked by this Snippet
Today's hook
When Sarah woke the
next morning, she stared into the distance. A smile touched the corner of her lips as pictures of the
previous day of the wedding came back into her mind. The pair were so much in
love, and Sarah was glad Tyson and Katie had finally walked down the aisle. The
two had met at the New South Wales coast and it’d been a rocky road for them to
make the relationship work. But in the end their love was stronger, and Katie
had become used to the limelight surrounding her football star husband.
And then there were
a few of the images, however, from the previous night that caused her to shiver.
She cringed as she remembered how she had thrown herself into Markus’ arms. Pulling the duvet over her head, she inhaled
a deep breath and then released it slowly, hoping for time to erase that part
of the day from history.
What had she been
thinking?
After a good long
stretch, she moved her head to the left and to the right, noticing that her
head still ached even after thirty-six hours and lots of sleep. Her body felt
heavy and sluggish, but Sarah willed it to move and get out of bed.
Never
again would she touch a glass of red wine.

Markus DeLeon and Sarah Winter’s lives couldn’t be more different… After three years away as the goalkeeper for an English soccer club, Markus has been happy to be back in Australia. He’d missed his family and friends, including Sarah. He’s known her since childhood, and often protected her from the teasing of other children and the troubling consequences of a broken home.
When they attend their friends’ wedding, a new light is cast on their friendship… Sarah is fresh out of a bad relationship, and Markus has always been the one she can confide in. Maybe it’s the magic of the wedding—or how stunning he looks in a tux—but the attraction between them intensifies in ways they’d never imagined.
But sometimes when risking what you have, you might lose everything… Following a passionate encounter, Markus isn’t sure how to handle this new aspect of his relationship with Sarah, and literally flees the scene for the coast. Sarah is unsure how to react to his sudden departure, but is soon knocked off course by misunderstandings and a frightening family emergency.
Markus realises his mistake and wants to make things right, but he also faces obstacles. He’s been offered an exciting new job, and an attractive newcomer to the neighbourhood is eager to claim his attention, though the last thing Markus needs is another confusing relationship.
Can Sarah and Markus face the fear and doubt—and the potential loss of their lifelong friendship—to give their love a chance?

Book #3 of the Australian Sport Series - also the one I enjoyed the most :) Their love story is not your regular "thrills" one - you know, the one with shivers top to bottom and bottom to top - at the first sight :) It's a beautiful story about the friendship, strong and true, turning slowly into some profound feelings. They do not realize it at first, then they do not want to realize that, finally they are too scared to admit it... :) But it gets them anyways :D
4 Stars
For me this book had to happen. Markus and Sarah have been best friends forever and the only ones still single.
Despite the obstacles and the misunderstandings that litter their lives, they were always meant for each other. The chemistry between them is undeniable but thankfully they figure it out.
Iris does an amazing job creating believable characters, in real life situations with emotions that we've all experienced.
A great summer read full of love, laughter and enduring friendship.
