CLICHÉS
She can't stand them.
Hates them.
Refuses to be one.
But...

Tessa Brooks is strong-willed, sassy, determined, and on the brink of dominating in the testosterone-fueled sport of horse racing. She’s spent her life avoiding the norm, staying true to herself to achieve her ultimate goals.

Her relationship with Jace Hitchen, her brother's best friend, just might be the biggest cliché of all. Over the years, he’s been her protector, her annoyance, her confidante, her crush. But giving in to what she’s really wanted for the last ten years could be the very thing that destroys all she's worked for and wanted. Can Tessa achieve her dreams for the future but still hold on to the past?

Editorial Reviews

Review

"An eye-opening, heart-warming read about one young woman's journey to find happiness in a male-dominated world. Tessa was the perfect combination of sweet, smart, and sassy... just like the book! 5 huge stars!" - Erin Noelle, USA Today Bestselling Author~~"Jock is one of the sweetest stories I've read in a long time. The characters and storyline are unique, unlike anything else currently available. I was pulled in from the prologue, already feeling tears in my eyes, and I was gripped for the rest of the entire story. CM Foss's writing style is beautiful and flawless and weeks after finishing Jock, I still find myself thinking about this beautiful story!" - Stacey Lynn, Bestselling Author

About the Author

Bio: CM Foss is a hopeless romantic with a love for the written word. When she was little, her mom would ration her books so she wouldn't go through them too quickly. It didn't matter, she would just re-read. She's always been an avid equestrian, competing in the top levels of Three Day Eventing by age seventeen. CM now resides in Northern Virginia with her husband and kids where they own and operate their own equestrian business, as well as raising grass-fed, sustainable meats. She doesn't have this thing people call "free time", but she does spent a weird amount of time writing, reading, playing with her kids, milking goats, and drinking wine, while avoiding bananas at all costs. Other books by CM Foss include Shiver, Swoon, and City Beautiful.

I love these characters and this series...

Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2016

One of the things I love about this series is it's real people falling in love, the highs and lows of love between the H/h, and not just the couple but the ripple effect of the love and relationships between friends and family. How the hardships of life, even the good times, drive us, mold and shape us, bring us together as much as tear us apart. Foss makes it so easy to fall in love with these characters. I loved seeing Lawrence as a young man, who we met in Shiver and Swoon. Even Lawrence's brother Shane appeared in Jock. He had only been mentioned in Swoon but had left his mark. In Jock, the impact of his relationship with his siblings and parents leaves a longer lasting impression on the reader.

Jock is focused on Tessa Brooks, Lawrence's baby sister, and Jace Hitchen, her big brother's best friend and surrogate protector. Growing up around horses, strong and fierce, Tessa dreamed of being a Jockey. A dream she worked hard every day to make come true. Jace grew up watching Tessa, a fiesty little trouble maker, who he always had a strong need to protect. Slowly, and naturally, friendship turned to something more. These two were so cute together. Tessa doing her best to keep things casual as she focused on riding and trying to balance all the people in her life, and Jace making it more than clear they were no longer just friends...or casual. As the pressure to succeed in her field and balance all the things in her life weigh heavy, the couple is challenged to figure out how to make things work.

Foss has a natural ability to bring relatable emotion to the characters and story. It draws you in. It makes you laugh, it makes you cry, it makes you want to sit at family dinner and share in the crazy. Personally, I would suggest reading Shiver and Swoon first. There are little details in the story that come from those books that would be spoiler-ish if you haven't read them. I'm so excited to keep going with these characters. They are becoming some of my favorites.

Sometimes you never know how things will play out...

What if you've known all along who your soul mate was? What if you chose a path that made you stray away from any parts of a normal life? You're always pushing yourself to the point of breaking but you still wonder if its enough... meet Tessa brooks

Tessa is far from normal and that's just the way she likes it. She is stubborn and has her mind set on what she wants and will do whatever she has to do to achieve it. That is until that one person who has always been there for her, alters her path.

Jace has always had a soft spot for Tessa. He's loved her ever since he laid eyes on her. But that's his best friend's sister, so it pretty much no go from the beginning. Over the years his resolves weakens and he just can't escape his true feelings.

Tessa and Jace's story is so special. At one moment, I wasn't sure if the relationship was going to happen but when it did... my goodness! Too good to be true!

I love this couple so much...Tessa is so stubborn and set in her way and jace is always there to support her no matter what.

Cm Foss has yet another masterpiece on her hands! This is a must read!!!!

I really enjoyed this book

Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2016

I really enjoyed this book, and for some reasons that I wasn't expecting. I liked seeing the inside of the jocky world, and I never knew it would even be anything that would interest me. I was hopeful for the entire book, and couldn't wait to get to the end. It's a really cool book and Foss does an awesome job at including the reader in a world they may know nothing about.

Another poignant, perfect story

Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2015

I'm not sure this woman knows how to write a disappointing novel. CM Foss manages to wrap up your emotions and take you on a journey you just weren't expecting. She plays your feelings like a fiddle, dancing back and forth between heat and sweet, laughter and sympathy like a maestro conducting a symphony.

I would never have imagined that a book about a horse jockey would center around such poignant and heartfelt decisions that practically everyone can relate to. I spent this book truly rooting for Tess and Jace. There were so many obstacles for them to overcome, and there were times where I truly felt their hopelessness. To see their problems and concerns played out with such realism and raw emotion was a true pleasure to read.

This is yet another book that I need to grace my shelves. Tess and Jace are right up there with my favorite couples, and this is definitely a book that deserves to be read, and then read again.

Another hit for CM Foss

I think I loved this story the most out of all of her books. To see the pure love between Jace and Tessa as kids grow into something so strong was so awe inspiring. It was hard to watch how hard Tessa was on her body and then to see her friend Cooper show her how to eat/exercise the correct way was heart warming. I laughed. I cried. I fell in love with Tessa and Jace!!

As usual CM Foss delivers a captivating and enveloping love story. A story that wraps you from page three and holds you until the last word of the last page -

I always feel like a character in the story- not just a reader, and Jock was no different. When the story ended I was thrilled for the ending but so sad... I needed more and wanted more!

Author CM Foss didn't dissapoint and I am anxiously awaiting the next book!!!

I LOVE CM Foss's characters! I love the families and links she builds. I love the humor, spunk, & love! I really enjoyed the structure of Jock, getting to know Jace and his background for 11 chapters then switching to Tessa's POV. highly recommend this & all of CM Foss's titles. I can't wait to read more! I think I can guess who the next couple will be.
