Synopsis

Hannah

One minute we were a family of four—then, in the blink of an eye, half of my world was gone. Nearly two years after I received the phone call that changed my life forever, we’re living in a new town and facing new opportunities. All I want is to be a strong parent for my son and build a good life. I’m still fighting to figure out how to be okay. Falling for someone? Not in the cards for me. I had my happily ever after. Until he appears. One look from the ex-NFL player turned high school football coach brings my soul to life. But the man tests my patience with his arrogance. He knows how to manage his players and his students, but he needs a major ego adjustment. Every night when my eyes close, I tell myself there’s no way I’ll fall for Wyatt Hamilton, I can’t . . . he’s my son’s new coach. Wyatt She’s the last thing that I expected. But I’m drawn to her. When she stepped onto my field with her long sexy legs, arms covered in tiny geometric tattoos, dark hair and her perfect kissable lips—she stoked a fire inside me. I never dreamed that I’d feel that spark again. Hannah Richman understands my anguish and emotional turmoil, because she’s been through the same hell. Wanting her is taboo—forbidden. She’s the mother of one of my students. No matter how much I crave her . . . there’s no way I can have her, it would be inappropriate. We’re about to redefine that word.

Review

Rating: ☆☆☆☆

I am going to be hones and say that I enjoyed this read but didn't love it. This could be because I am having to grab small snippets of a book at the moment rather than sitting and binge reading. It may be related to my own frustration with my reading time. That being said I didn't get the level of emotion I was expecting given the subject matter.

Both Wyatt and Hannah have experienced unimaginable loss with the death of their partner and a child. Wyatt, being a NFL player, had to deal with his grief in the limelight, whilst Hannah had to continue living for her other son. Both are still healing but ignite something in the other. But nothing should happen as Wyatt is her son's football coach.

There are poignant moments throughout - it would have been beneficial to see more emotion and recognition of Wyatt's grief than we got. I loved Hannah's sassyness and the way she doesn't let him get away with things.

I did enjoy this book and I would have loved to have been able to read this in one sitting, which would have probably boosted my enjoyment.
