Usually not a sports romance fan because I don’t  like jocks (they’re usually obnoxious with a foul mouth) but this one quite possibly melted my stone cold feminist heart just a little.

The story was easy enough to follow without being too technical about the sports agent business or the football part of the plot. Nora was the right amount of quirky without being overly perky and Derek was equal parts sweet and sexy. But my favourite character was definitely Nicole.

Sad to say this was a miss for me! The characters felt so caricature-ish and I couldn't find it in myself to care for them at all. The MMC was particularly infuriating – he says outright he's ready to make the FMC's career hell just so she'll be forced to quit as his assistant. The fuck??? Not the way to make me even want to give him a second-chance.

It’s official: I absolutely love Sarah Adams. 
Nora and Derek’s relationship had way more substance to it than any other characters I’ve read so far from this author, which made me love it all the more. This is a second chance romance trope, not usually my favorite because you never know if the relationship initially ended because of cheating( a nope trope of mine). Happily, this was not the case. It was so nice to see characters actual work through real issues that can come up when you have a complicated past.
As a literacy coach, I love that Derek is diagnosed with dyslexia late in life. It is a neurodivergence disorder which isn’t portrayed much, especially in books! Glad to see a light being shined on it.

If you pick up Sarah Adams books because she writes closed door romance, this book has one chapter of on-page steaminess. However,Sarah Adams has a preface at the beginning of the book and the audiobook letting readers know which chapter it happens in if they want to skip the chapter. This makes me respect Sarah Adams even more for wanting all readers to feel comfortable when enjoying her book. All in all, a damn good time that made me laugh and tear up.

Sweet romance with a male lead pining for the girl who broke his heart in college. When she was being an adult, the story was great, but there were so many times that she was immature in various ways.

I usually love books by this author but the alcohol induced mistake trope in this series is not for me. Also the randomly getting married in Vegas trope. To have those same storylines in this one after having them in the first book of the series jumped out at me since I read them back to back. I didn’t love those storylines in the first one and really disliked them in this one.
