After a brief relationship in high school, what Tessa thought was a genuine loving relationship took a nose dive when she overheard the reason behind Riggs’ pursuit of her. But in true heartbroken teenage girl fashion, she didn’t stick around to hear him out. After years apart, she’s surviving in their hometown while he’s thriving in the NFL. She still harbors intense feelings when it comes to Riggs, and they aren’t feelings that would allow Riggs to easily break through.
When a new NFL startup opportunity arises close to his hometown, Riggs jumps at the chance. Buying a home next door to Tessa sparks an intensely hilarious prank war between the two. And as time progresses, Riggs finally gets a chance to confess his secrets to her. Once those walls had fallen, these two found that those feelings from high school were still there & just as potent. I loved watching them fall for each other again as Riggs slowly gained her trust & affection.
Audiobook Review:
Cecily Foster & Josh Innerst brought this story and these characters to life. The range of emotions throughout the book were executed wonderfully & kept me completely invested in the story.
