I had to take a break around the middle so I could have a good cry. Willa’s relationship with her mother had me turn into a blubbering, sobbing mess. But Chloe Liese picked up the pieces of my broken heart and made it whole again with Ryders love and determination.
A spicy, 5 star, slow burn that will prove to you that everything happens for a reason.

Ryder Bergman was a quiet guy who usually sat on the first row of his classes. His life changed dramatically two years previously when he got bacterial meningitis. Ryder recovered, but his life was forever changed. A major difference was that he no longer played competitive soccer. Ryder loved the game and had come to UCLA on a athletic scholarship. He planned to play as a freshman starter on the men's team. When Willa Sutter, the women's soccer star, sat next to him in Business Math, he was reminded again of his loss. Ryder was confused as to why she seemed to dislike him. He often looked up and saw her staring at him angrily. Ryder was confused by her actions, but didn't try to figure out why. It was a shame she felt the way she did because Ryder found her very attractive.
I loved their story. This was a very slow burn frenemies to lovers romance. Once they got past their communication issues, Willa and Ryder's relationship took a turn for the better. They were no longer at odds with each other and became someone the other could depend on. The secondary characters in the story were relatable and helped to carry the story forward. The loving relationship between Willa and her mother was very touching. This book is the first in the seven book Bergman Brothers series (7 siblings- 5 brothers and 2 sisters). I love a good series and I can't wait to meet Willa and Ryder again in the upcoming books. I am sure they will still be living their happily ever after.
