Oh man! I really should have read all the books in this universe in order. My goodness! Ava is the public relations director of the Washington Wolves of the NFL. She's a badass. Men fear her. She gets shit done. She's completely unflappable - until she hears Matthew Hawkins is joining the team. She had a huge crush on him when she last saw him 10 years ago. The problem? He was engaged to her sister at the time and he had just found out she cheated on him.
Ava's sister is a piece of work and everything is always all about her, and when Matthew was around he was the only one who actually noticed Ava. The two of them are friendly from the start and he loves the grown woman she's turned into. But, their history forces them to keep their evolving relationship a secret. And, it doesn't help when another teammate gets in the way. So many obstacles!
🔥: These two are steamy together, but we don't get all the graphic details. Scenes are quickly paced and super sensuous, though!
😆: There's some comic relief along the way, especially as these two get to know each other better. And I always love to see cameos from Allie and Paige.
ðŸ˜: I didn't cry with this one, but there are some tough moments to get through. Your tissues are safe, but be prepared to read this in one sitting because you won't be able to put it down!
My biggest takeaway from this one was seeing a different side of Logan, book 3's MC. I absolutely need to reread that one now!
