If you are even slightly into football, love or sarcastic banter, than this is the book for you!
I personally love me some sports in books. We all know I am a fan of love. And even more so, I like that sarcastic banter between my characters! This book delivered, and I highly recommend it!
But, seriously, who doesn't love anything Cora Carmack touches?

This book seemed sort of...slow? Is that right? I'm not sure why I didn't like it, I just didn't. I found Dallas to be pretty terrible, so that had a lot to do with it.

It was a sweet story that was easy to read.
I liked the characters and there was just enough drama to keep me interested but not over the top.

I read this in college and it is a solid College Sports Romance book. I still enjoyed it this time around, but definitely enjoyed it more when I was their age. Football QB + dancer / football coach’s daughter? Yes please. Fun with a sprinkle of spice and not too dramatic with minimal miscommunication.

I've read all Cora Carmack's books and this one did not disappoint at all. I think it was super cute and if I didnt have so much going on I would have been able to complete it in one sitting. It's a really easy and fast read. I just love Carson and Dallas, I think their whole relationship is so lovely.
The only downside is that I would have liked to know more about Levi and Dallas' s mum. I feel like I didnt really gain enough information on them as characters as a whole. But I really enjoy it and I cant wait to much onto Silas and Dylan!!!!

I feel like I have been in a bit of a rut. I've read some alright books recently, but also some not so good books. I haven't read anything that has really captivated me like an amazing book does. I picked up All Lined Up for something to read for just a short time before we figured out what to do with the rest of our sunny Saturday. I figured I would enjoy the book, but it would just be a light, fun read, easy to put down. Well it turned into one of those books where my husband comes and bugs me and I am just like leave me alone! Can't you see I am reading!! and didn't put it down until I finished. So much better than I thought it would be and really a great read.
Dallas is tired of being the football coaches daughter. Everyone knows her in her high school town, and she is tired of always being observed, being the coaches daughter. She thought when she went off to college this would be the beginning of a new chapter of her life, until her dad gets a job as a football coach at the college she is going to. She doesn't want more of the same. More of people just talking to her to get close to coach, or not getting close to her because of coach or whatever. She just wants to be free of that. She wants to be herself, to be someone not everyone knows.
Carson has just transferred into the school and is hoping to be able to play ball well enough and keep his grades up enough to get a scholarship. His family doesn't have much, but he wants to play football. He is not like the other guys on the team. He can't have any distractions and he doesn't like the way they all talk about girls and such. He just wants stay focused.
When Carson and Dallas meet for the first time there was an instant attraction. It was a great scene, and neither of them knew who the other was. Carson, while he can't stop thinking about her, can't afford the distraction Dallas would be. Even though that is the case, he doesn't want to just write her off entirely either. He wants to be just friends, thinking he can handle that, and once they both find out who the other is Dallas doesn't even want that. Dallas doesn't want to get involved with a football player. She doesn't want that connection to her dad, to her dad's team.
Of course she cannot stay away, but she doesn't want to date Carson, and Carson still has his just friends thing. They were so cute together! The tension, the attraction, the will they finally give in and admit they want more was amazing. It was slow building until they just couldn't fight it any more. I loved it. I loved the ahhh when are they going to get together already!?! feeling. It was so so good. Carson and Dallas are amazing together. They just fit. Yes they have issues, things they need to work through, but man it was hot. Love love loved this story. Now I can't wait to read more of the authors books. If they are half as good they will be amazing! Highly recommend reading this book.

This was such a sweet story from beginning to end. It's your typical college-aged character romance...but that didn't stop me from loving every minute of it. Part of me didn't want to finish reading the last 20 pages because I didn't want it to be over. Regardless of how predictable the book was, I couldn't contain my giddiness and the way my heart hurt at certain parts. This is my second Cora Carmack book and it definitely will not be my last.

I liked the way All Lined Up was character driven and I love Cora Carmack's writing as always. Will never understand Americans and football though. Also, there wasn't much to the plot but I guess the family aspect with the father daughter relationship was refreshing.

Such fun. Love the direction this new series is taking, can't go wrong with a NA Friday Night Lights as far as I am concerned!
