The inhabitants of Last Chance, New Mexico, could not be more pleased. Dr. Jessica McLeod has opened an office right on Main Street. Andy Ryan, the best athlete the little town ever produced, has ended his short career in the NFL and has come home to coach the mighty Pumas of Last Chance High. Unfortunately, Dr. Jess immediately gets off on the wrong foot when she admits that she's never seen a football game, isn't really interested in doing so, and, in fact, doesn't know a first down from a home run. Meanwhile, Coach Ryan is discovering that it's not easy to balance atop the pedestal the town has put him on. When this unlikely pair is drawn together over the future of a young player--whose gifts may lie in the laboratory rather than on the football field--they begin to wonder if they might have a future together as well.With the flair that has made her Last Chance books a favorite among readers of contemporary fiction, Cathleen Armstrong draws on the passion Americans have for the traditions of small-town high school football.

From the Back Cover What happens when your heart is intercepted before you even know it's in play?The folks in Last Chance, New Mexico, could not be more pleased. Dr. Jessica MacLeod has opened an office right on Main Street and Andy Ryan, the best athlete the little town ever produced, has come home from the NFL to coach the high school football team. Unfortunately, Dr. Jess immediately gets off on the wrong foot with this football-obsessed town when she admits that she's never seen a football game, isn't really interested in doing so, and in fact doesn't know a first down from a goalpost.

4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. I wanted to love this book By Becky I wanted to love this book, it has all the makings of an extraordinary, entertaining novel, but somehow it missed the mark. You never get to understand Jess and Ryan's characters, and the time frame when their relationship was developing is skipped over. On the flip side, many of the characters from the last 3 books are entertaining, well written, and their interactions enjoyable. Last Chance Hero is light hearted, clean, and entertaining, just don't expect to much from Jess and Ryan but enjoy the other Characters.I was given this book free for my honest review from Revell Publishing.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. It was OK... By lor369 Last Chance Hero is about a woman who moves to a small town and struggles to fit in, whether it is eating chili or liking football, as well as her budding relationship with a former NFL football player who has returned home to coach the high school team. He has his own struggles, managing his team, living up to the expectations of his hometown, and relationship issues with his dad.The book was OK, but I couldn’t really get into the storyline or connect with the characters. When I read a book, I like it when the book builds up to something really major and then that major event happens. That didn’t really happen in this book. I also felt that there were too many characters in the book and too many sub-storylines that never really got developed…Jess’s faith journey, Maria and her son, Sue and her daughter, etc. I especially thought that the sub-storyline with Andy and his dad had potential…but that wasn’t really expanded upon and ended too quickly. I also felt that the book ended a little to abruptly, as if something more needed to happen.I also felt that the football storyline and the pressures to like football was a little overdone. I felt like Jess gave in to the pressures as an attempt to make Andy and the townfolks happy, which seems out of character for an intelligent woman who is a doctor.Rating: 3 out of 5 starsA preview copy of this book was provided for free through the Revell Book Tour program in exchange for a fair and honest review.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Pleasant but Non-compelling By Tracey Cramer-Kelly This makes two books in this series I have read. This one I picked up because it had a female small-town doctor as a lead character. Like the other book, this one was just too slow for my tastes. Usually there is a build-up to an event that changes the characters, or there is a bad guy/girl to keep thing interesting. The struggles here were all internal, and mostly on Andy’s side (Jess’s were all so minor). I thought Andy’s ability to stay good-natured and balance the grand dreams/pressure everyone was laying on him was a bit unrealistic. I would have welcomed more depth to his character.There didn’t seem to be deep, strong feelings for each other, leaving me with the impression that they got together because the other was OK to hang out with (and maybe they were the “obvious” pairing in this small town). There were many sub-plots that could have been interesting to develop (like potential child abuse, or Andy’s relationship with his father) that seemed glossed over. It also didn’t go into the faith elements present in the other book. The result is that I don’t know what the characters really believe, about their faith or each other. It’s as if the author had second thoughts about (or was told to tone down) the presence of faith in the series.So, a pleasant but non-compelling read.
