About this ebook
The Hail Mary
Waiting Series Book 3
Adult Contemporary Romance, Coming of Age Trilogy
Sixteen years is a long time. In a marriage, it’s a milestone. On the gridiron, it’s a miracle. Reed Johnson wants more time for everything, but time is funny that way.
It can be cruel.
With a body that can’t quite take the hits it used to and a heart tired of being torn in two different directions, Reed is faced with a reality he’s not quite ready for—life without the game. He became a man under Friday night game lights and in college stadium tunnels, and without the grit and the glory that’s earned ten yards at a time, he’s afraid of what kind of man he’ll be.
But there’s more than a game at stake now.
Reed’s wife, Nolan, is afraid too. She’s seen what can happen when the love of her life pushes himself too hard, and she can’t escape the nightmares she relives after almost losing her entire world to one single play on the field.
There is no compromise when it comes to football. Same goes for the heart. You’re either all in, or you get crushed. For Reed and Nolan, the clock is ticking down. Time...it does that. One way or another, they’re going to have to make a choice.
This is their hail Mary.
This is win or lose.
(The Hail Mary is book 3 in The Waiting Series, which follows high school sweethearts Reed Johnson and Nolan Lennox through football, life, love and everything messy that goes along with it. The series begins with Waiting on the Sidelines and Going Long.)

Reviews for The Hail Mary
11 ratings1 review
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I just found this author a month ago and have read almost all of her books. This series was one of the best I've ever read. I read all 3 in two weeks. I did feel that this book was unnecessary though. It would have been a much more satisfying ending if it stopped after the second book where she told him she was pregnant and he was going pro. This one took that happy ending and basically reversed it. Having to read about Nolan hating something Reed loves for the entire book was a little annoying. The readers wanted Reed to do what he loved and his wife didn't. She wouldn't watch him, didn't support him, and in the end (spoiler) he gave it up because of that. It madr me relate a little less to Nolan and one of the big reasons I loved this series was because of how much I related to her. All in all though I would recommend the entire thing to everyone!
