Book Beginnings + Friday 56: Love in the Squared Circle by Heather Greer

Book Beginnings is a weekly meme hosted by Rose City Reader that asks you to share the first sentence (or so) of the book you're reading. Friday 56 is hosted by Freda's Voice and asks you to grab a book (any book), turn to page 56 or 56% in your ereader and share a non-spoilery sentence or two. I'm also linking up with Carrie at Reading is My Superpower for First Line Friday.

This week I'm featuring Love in the Squared Circle by Heather Greer. This was a really sweet romance. I hadn't read a fiction book that featured pro wrestling before, so I loved that. I've been a wrestling fan since high school, so that was a lot of fun.

About the Book

Trinity Knight is not a fan of professional wrestling. But with her husband gone, it falls to her to give their son the father-son trip they daydreamed about when he was alive. After Trinity causes them to miss a meet and greet with Jay’s favorite wrestler, a random act of kindness saves the trip and starts Trinity on an unexpected path.

Universal Wrestling Organization Champion Blane Sterling hears whiny children at photo ops all the time. However, overhearing a young boy comfort his mother piques his interest. Touched by their story, Blane works with the UWO Public Relations team to give Jay the experience of a lifetime.

As they learn each other’s stories, Trinity and Blane are drawn to each other. But they don’t just come from different states. They live in different worlds. Trinity might learn to fit into his life, but can those in her world look beyond Blane’s profession to see his heart? Or will a lack of acceptance cause Trinity and Blane to lose their shot at love?

Book Beginnings / First Line Friday

"Please be there. Please be there," Trinity Knight begged under her breath as she fought through the throng of people exiting the conference room. As Jay's small hand slipped from hers, she tightened her grasp and kept moving. She wouldn't take the chance of getting separated from her eight-year-old son.

Friday 56

Trinity wanted to relieve the tension emanating from the other end of the phone call, but she knew she had to stand her ground.
