Description
Two childhood best friends, one last chance at love, everything to lose.
Nathan Sharpe’s path in life was clear from the moment he first picked up a baseball. He never thought anything would rival his love of the game… until he fell for Brenna Quinn—the girl next door, his high school teammate, his best friend. They were the couple everyone expected to last. Then a scandalous affair hit too close to home and upended their world. After high school, Brenna and Nathan each left their hometown, never expecting to see it—or each other—again.
Six years later, Nathan’s father leaves them an inheritance—his house, his business, and four cats—but only if they accept it together. Neither of them can afford to walk away from the opportunity to flip these properties. Brenna needs the money to support a custody fight for her sister. And Nathan, fearing his baseball career might be cut short by a shoulder injury, needs a safety net.
But working and living together proves their history may not be in the past at all. It isn’t long before Nathan and Brenna remember why they fell in love all those years ago. Resisting the blazing attraction between them is almost as impossible as overcoming their painful past. But maybe it will be okay… they’re only stuck together for the time being.
Fans of Mariana Zapata and C.W. Farnsworth will enjoy this dual-POV steamy small-town romance featuring second chance, friends to lovers, and forced proximity tropes, with Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) representation.
Featured Reviews
I first want to start off by thanking Kathryn Kincaid and NetGalley for the ARC I was graciously sent. I am so thankful for taking a chance on a small booktoker who loves romance books!
This book was amazing! I loved the tension, the banter, the romance, and the spicy scenes. 5/5 stars all around!
Nathan and Brenna are childhood best friends turned lovers turned enemies turned lovers again. After growing up next door to one another for years, family matters got in the way of their relationship in high school and they went their separate ways, that is until Nathan’s father died and left half of everything to both Nate and Bren. Did I mention Brenna is engaged to someone else? No? Oops.
After hearing the stipulations of the will, Nathan and Brenna decide to try to put their past aside and fulfill the contingencies laid out for them. Eventually, both realize the feelings they had from their childhood have not subsided and after a break up, a winter storm turned power outage where they’re stuck in one room together with 4 cats, and confessed feelings, they finally realize what they’ve been missing all this time.
There’s romance, there’s representation for HSP (highly sensitive person), there’s spice, and there’s a beautiful coming of age story.
Highly, highly recommend and I cannot stop thinking about Nathan, Brenna, and Brenna’s little sister Molly.
I will be posting a review on my TikTok page by March 24, 2024 as well and have added a link to my page.
I am absolutely in love with this entire story. It’s more than just a love story. It’s about hurt, loss, change, second chances, family, and there are so many unexpected layers to this story. Shoutout to NetGalley for my very first ARC; this one knocked it out of the park!
