Publisher's summary

Cade Hall has always been the golden boy of the gridiron. Because of his talent at football, coupled with his father's wealth, he's always gotten his way. But when a night of drunken debauchery lands him in hot water with the college athletic board, neither his influential father nor his charming grin can save him.

Cade finds it a total buzzkill when he is sentenced to community service with troubled youth at an inner-city shelter. But his nightmare is only beginning when his greatest high school regret is the very one in charge of the program, and she has him by the balls in more ways than one. For Avery Prescott, senior year was a nightmare of epic proportions, and Cade Hall played the lead villain. After she fled her small town for college in the bright lights of Atlanta, she thought she had escaped the painful memories of her past.

She never could have imagined Cade would waltz through the door of the outreach program she presided over. But Avery has news for Cade - she isn't the same shy, doormat of a girl she was in high school. Since she holds Cade's football future in her hands, she's more than ready to make payback a real bitch.

Contains mature themes.

Stellar story and amazing performance!

This one has it all. Heat, laugh, angst and enough emotion to make you cry. Tim and Kelsey are the dynamic duo and they can do no wrong together. This was a fantastic book, I loved it. At one point I was sobbing as the story unfolded. I can't say enough good things about this one and can't wait for more from this author.

3 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🎧

I don't really have a lot to say about this one. I was what I thought it was going to be. Golden Boy p i s s e s off the smart girl in some way and then later needs her help.

I mean, that was the whole story in a nutshell. We did get hit with tragedy. That sucked big time.

In the end, I liked that they ended up together. I just wish he wasn't such a d bag in the beginning.
I loved Kelsey's narration.

Nice girl meets cruel guy

I loved strong h and good romance. However, this H said mean words to the h and did unforgivable words. This H didn’t even want to ask for forgiveness and the h who was supposed be smart and strong, turned to be weak and dumb. She acted as if nothing happened. She tried to act strong but end up being weak and dumb. The H, all he thought about how sexy her body was. Even though he disrespected her. So sad there’s writers who disrespect female gender.
