As I mentioned last week, I’m making certain changes (or returning to my older ways) to the features that I want to track and do each week. Going back to Eye Candy Friday instead of Book Boyfriends will let me feature other boyfriends that I’m loving and wanting to spotlight right now. So this is the first of those posts. I promise, no more changing. This is it! Thanks for coming along for the ride.

Head of the class...
Garrett Daniels has this whole life thing figured out.
The cocky, charismatic former high school star quarterback is an idolized football coach and "cool" teacher in the hometown where he's not just a golden boy—he's platinum. He has good friends, a great house on the lake, and the best damn sidekick a man could ask for: Snoopy, the albino beagle.
Then...Callie Carpenter comes home.
And knocks him right on his tight end zone.
Back to school...
Callie has a pretty sweet life herself...on the other side of the country. But circumstances—that she'd prefer to never speak of again—have brought her back home, helping out her parents and substitute teaching at her old high school.
Now she's facing bickering, raging hormones, constant gossip, awkward weirdness, and drama galore...and that's just the teachers.
Just like old times...
When Garrett offers to show his former high school sweetheart the secrets of his winning teacher ways, Callie jumps at the chance—and then has to stop herself from jumping him.
Good friends are all they can ever be.
Or...these teachers just might end up getting schooled—hard—by love.
Today’s boyfriend is Garrett Daniels from Emma Chase’s Getting Schooled, the first book in her Getting Some series. Garrett Daniels is a high school football coach, who is teaching and coaching at his old high school and living his best life. He’s considered the best thing since sliced bread in his hometown and has created a pretty decent life for himself there. He’s happy, or at least as happy as he lets himself be until the one that got away, comes back home…and shakes up his life.
Garrett has a lot of Coach Taylor from Friday Night Lights qualities to him and I freaking loved the hell out of him. I loved seeing him as a coach, a teacher and then as a man falling in love again with the girl that left him behind to chase her dreams.
There wasn’t a complicated past or even anything super extra about Garrett. He was just a regular man who lived his life the way that he wanted, did what he thought was right and did right by those he loved and cared about. Callie, the girl that broke his heart, was included in that…even after all of these years.
Here are some quotes from Garrett’s book that showcase just why I adored him so much. It’ll paint a better picture of just how awesome Garrett is.
“You were always my girl, Callie. Even after you weren’t anymore.”
“I have feelings for him. I always have … But these aren’t just leftover echoes of a sweet first love. This is something new. A throbbing, breathless attraction to the amazing man he’s become. I want to be near him, to know him, inside and out all over again.
And he feels the same way. Garret wants this version of me as much as he always did. Maybe even more.”
“What is this to you? What are we doing? What do you want?”
Garrett smiles that easy smile that makes me want to lick every single inch of his skin.
“This is you and me. The reboot. We’ll talk and laugh and fuck until we can’t move, and probably fight at some point, too. And we’ll… be.”
I reach for him. He releases my arms and rolls us to the side, my hands around his neck, my leg draped across his hip.
“As for what I want. I want you, Callie. For as long as you’re here. For as long as you’ll let me have you. I want all of you.”

Ohh I’m curious about this one. I like Emma Chase’s books!
Hi Joy!
It’s a good one for sure. Let me know if you end up reading it and what you thought.
Okay, Garrett Sounds too swoony for word. *sigh* I already know that I love Emma Chase (her Royally series is a fave) so I definitely need to pick this one up.

Yes, this was great and I think you’ll enjoy it if you enjoyed her Royally series (which is another series that I enjoyed). Have you read her Legal Briefs series? That one is my favorite!
I just love anything that Emma Chase writes, and this book was so FUN!!! She did a very good job with it.
I thought she did a great job with this story too. Garrett and Callie were fabulous!
I’ve had this on my amazon wish list forever. I need to break down and purchase it because it sounds so good!
It’s a good one, I definitely recommend it. If you have the romance package on Audible, you can listen to it for free. 🙂
I’ve been thinking about getting the Romance Package!
There’s a lot of audiobooks on there but I just need to charge my phone so that I can actually use the package at work. It’s a good package though, I do recommend it if you want to listen to audiobooks.
I’ve got to say, I remember seeing this one about but the ridiculous cover put me off (what is going on with that shirt? Just take it off don’t sit with it all weird) but I now think maybe I should read. Especially if you’re casting Matthew Davis as Garrett. I do love that man.
LOL, I didn’t even notice the shirt but you’re right. Take it off already! Matt Davis is the perfect Garrett. He could totally play a high school football coach!
Oh my! Your casting is just perfect! Emma always writes swoony boys!
She really does and I thought Alaric from Vampire Diaries was the perfect Garret, I’m glad to see that you agree.
