Description:
From New York Times Bestselling author Tracy Wolff and International Bestselling author Katie Graykowski comes a sexy tale of love, laughter and lingerie …
Lyric Wright is an off-beat astrophysicist whose life is falling apart around her. After losing her fiancé to a hula dancing astrologer and losing her dress to an ill-fated leap of faith, she’s sure there’s nowhere for her life to go but up. At least until she sits down on a trans-Pacific flight next to the one man she never wanted to see again—the boy she’d lost her heart and her virginity too back before she’d learned that friendship and football don’t equal true love.
Broken down quarterback Heath Montgomery is on a plane ride to nowhere. Dodging the phone call he’s certain will end his professional football career for good, he might be Texas bound, but he knows there’s nowhere for him to go but down. But that’s before his childhood best friend and confidante plops back into his life wearing nothing but duct tape and a bad attitude. Determined not to lose her again (especially since he isn’t sure why he lost her the first time) and desperate to outrun his own shadowy future, Heath sets out to take Lyric on the ride of her life. Too bad she only dates men who actually know what her butterfly nebula is … and can find it without the help of a star chart.
Add in one passive-aggressive flight attendant with delusions of couture, a cherry red car with a crush on Neil Diamond, an over-protective sister with a black belt in Krav Maga, two parents determined to marry their spinster daughter off to the hometown hero no matter the cost, and a whole lot of lingerie popping up in all the right places at all the wrong times and you’ve got an unforgettable love story that fans of Susan Elizabeth Phillips and Rachel Gibson won’t want to miss!
Review copy provided for an honest review
I really wasn’t sure what to expect with Lyric and Lingerie. Tracy Wolff and Katie Graykowski are 
both “new to me” authors and, I have to admit, I was completely stunned and thrilled that I was asked to review this book. It’s laugh-out-loud funny, it was a wild story and it was definitely worth the read.
I really had no idea who was funnier … Lyric or Heath. They each had their own quirks and way of dealing with life. She calmed her nerves with prime numbers. He calmed her nerves with pulling the prime numbers up on his phone. Heath did everything in his power to get Lyric to believe that she was the one to finally land THE Heath Montgomery. Lyric did everything in her power to just laugh it off – what would a football star want with a clumsy astrophysicist? It takes a hell of a lot, a life changing phone call, a night in a tree house for Heath to finally face the feelings he’s had since he was 5 years old. Now, he needs to find a real way to show Lyric that he can be trusted again to hold her heart.
Too much happened to truly review this book, to give it a synopsis that is fitting. I don’t even know where to start with everything that had me losing it while I was sitting in my recliner. Duct tape, Tre, Cherry-Cherry, volcanos, Gregor … you have to read this book to truly understand and appreciate everything that happened. I seriously wanted to go back and read it again just to make sure I didn’t miss anything that had me smiling and giggling.
Honestly, if Lyric and Lingerie is the kind of book that Tracy Wolff and Katie Graykowski write, I will always read them. This story was cute, funny, original and fantastic. I can’t say there was much romance in it because Heath just had his own way about getting Lyric’s attention, and it wasn’t romance. It took them a while to get there but, when they finally hit the sheets, it was electric.
So, if you can’t tell, I loved this book. I love the storyline. I loved all the characters. And, I loved that it had a happily-ever-after that totally fit this story.

I’m going to make this short and sweet…I FREAKIN’ LOVED Lyric and Lingerie by Tracy Wolff and Katie Graykowski. I laughed, I cried, sighed and I fell in love with both the main characters in a heartbeat. ~ Slick, Guilty Pleasures
I’m going to make this short and sweet…I FREAKIN’ LOVED Lyric and Lingerie by Tracy Wolff and Katie Graykowski. I laughed, I cried, sighed and I fell in love with both the main characters in a heartbeat. This is a second chance love story at its best; two people whose life took a weird turn are reunited under strange circumstances and begin a journey to last them the rest of their lives.
Friends since childhood, a teenage moment that left them both dazed and confused, and a family emergency that brings them back together I simply could not put this book down.
I loved the geeky heroine who could seem to do no right in her mother’s eyes, but was perfect in the eyes of the pro football player who is determined to make her a permanent part of his life. His determination was both crazy and sweet and her cluelessness was funny and charming. They had some interesting moments and there was a pretty big grand gesture at the end all of which just added to the intensity of their connection.
Sweet, funny, sexy and completely entertaining Lyric and Lingerie is one book you do not want to miss!

About the Authors
Tracy Wolff
Tracy Wolff collects books, English degrees and lipsticks and has been known to forget where—and sometimes who—she is when immersed in a great novel. At six she wrote her first short story—something with a rainbow and a prince—and at seven she forayed into the wonderful world of girls lit with her first Judy Blume novel. By ten she’d read everything in the young adult and classics sections of her local bookstore, so in desperation her mom started her on romance novels. And from the first page of the first book, Tracy knew she’d found her life-long love. Now an English professor at her local community college, she writes romances that run the gamut from contemporary to paranormal to erotic suspense.
And for all of those who want the unedited version:
Tracy Wolff lives with four men, teaches writing to local college students and spends as much time as she can manage immersed in worlds of her own creation. Married to the alpha hero of her dreams for twelve years, she is the mother of three young sons who spend most of their time trying to make her as crazy as possible.
