I was captivated by the story of Olympic gold medalist swimmer Noah Fitzgerald and Gabriella 'Gaby' Resendiz, a rock legend’s daughter. Noah's reputation as a ladies' man meets a challenge at his cousin's wedding, where he reconnects with Gaby, sparking an intense and passionate dynamic. As a fan of Ashley's previous books in the series, I appreciated this second-generation tale from the Proposition/Runaway Train world. The blend of humor, steamy romance, and emotional depth impressed me. Noah's transformation from a charismatic sportsman to a committed lover was compelling, and Gaby's journey of self-acceptance added richness to the story. The entertaining dialogue and revisiting of beloved characters from earlier series added layers of nostalgia and continuity, making this a memorable read for me.
