About this listen

It's the classic storyboy goes off into the world to fulfill his dreams and leaves the girl behind.

Not every boy returns home, and I wish Ben Noughton wouldn't have come back to our small ranching town at all after he retired from playing professional football.

I figure it's a quick layover for him. He always wanted out of this town and off his family's ranch. I just have to bide my time until he turns his back on all of us again.

Then he takes on the coaching position for the high school football team and starts milling around too much, bulldozing the protective walls I've built around myself. But he goes too far when he takes my son under his wing to help him be the best player he can be. Leaving me to protect not only my own heart but my son's too.

Because I promised myself a long time ago that I'd never be the girl in the rearview mirror again.

I am not usually a big fan of second chance romance but this one is a good one. I liked the slowness of Ben's relationship with Clayton which is in complete contrast with the speed of Ben and Gillian's relationship.

the narration was awesome! loved both of the narrators and their work !

A great start!

I loved this book so much, Ben and Gillian's story had me hooked from the start. I can't wait to read the rest of the books in the series. I may or may not have this book arriving in paperback on Tuesday, already pre-ordered the next two books in the series on Kindle and keep checking to see if the paperbacks are up for pre-order 😜 if that doesn't tell you how much I love this series I don't know what will.

I was lucky enough to receive an ARC for this book.
