  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix

Spoiled filled review/summary: 

Tuck is a 30 year old football player, apparently his father died on his birthday which no one knows. His friends try to bring him to a party and everyone has to dress up - Tuck is the player at a sex club where everyone is dressed as something. They have a one night stand. Later Princess (Francesca ) pregnant and Tuck dealing with aging and football troubles. Francesca doesn't tell Tuck for months after finding out because he kept saying he didn't want children due to his messed up upbringing. Tuck ended up finding very personal information out about Francesca because she knew where he lived (she lived in the same building) since he's famous he had a private investigator look into her and found out she was abandoned as baby. She finally admitted to him she was pregnant with his baby and Tuck doubted the paternity because he has trust issues and it had not his first paternity scare. He made his lawyer bring Francesca an NDA for the whole situation because of it. They eventually end up making up and Tuck gets a head injury because of a painting someone made of Francesca. They have a little boy named Franco and a little girl years later named Darryn.


  • Book was super rushed, felt ZERO connection from the two. it was just a book I wish I would have DNF but I got too far and decided to just finish it.
