⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bookbub Review - "This book is a must read, page turner, and has all the feels."

I kept my nose clean. Bad publicity was the last thing you wanted, and I'd had my share since my last breakup went public. We'd also just lost our last five games.

The boys and I decided to head to the islands for a little R&R. I'd never been so happy for a break. That was where I saw her. She didn't seem to recognize me, which made it better, so I made my move. We didn't exchange names or numbers. We shared one carefree night, that was all I wanted and that was all it was supposed to be.

A few months later, regret from that night had almost eaten away at me. I hadn't been able to get her out of my mind. I wouldn't say I fell in love with her, or maybe I did. All I knew was that night was the closest I'd ever come to insta-love and I wanted more but we'd had our fun. Yet, I was still mentally kicking myself for at least not getting her name.

We're about to head into the playoffs when I return home and that is when the universe decides to bring us back together in one of the worst places ever. Only this time won't be like the last, I decide I won't let her slip through my fingers. This time, I've promised myself nothing, and all bets are off.

🏒 Review🏒

After a very public breakup with his ex, Dylan and a few of his teammates from the Dominators find themselves in Mexico looking for a little rest and relaxation. When he meets Aurora, the sparks fly, and they agree to spend one steamy evening together before they return to their regular lives never expecting their paths would cross again.

Aurora is going through the end of a relationship as well so a trip to Mexico is exactly what she needs before she returns to college. She believes that both Mexico and Dylan will be nothing but a memory until months later they find out their lives are connected in a way that neither could have anticipated.

Even though neither Dylan nor Aurora were looking for a relationship when they met some things are meant to be. Despite the challenges Dylan knows that he wants a future with her, and he is both determined and swoony as he shows Aurora that what they have is worth fighting for.
