He wasn't an ordinary crush, but the two of us were definitely a classic cliche.Ryder Thompson.Quarterback of the football team. The star of campus. Everyone wanted to be him, be friends with him, or sleep with him. Unfortunately, I was no exception to that rule.The problem? I was the nerdy girl who he didn't know existed - or at least that's what I thought until his actions showed me otherwise. I could still feel his fingertips pressed against my neck, his touch lingering so vividly that I let myself wonder if there could someday be an 'us'. That was until the world came crashing down.I spent years building a wall around my heart and keeping my feelings for him under lock and key. Now, ten years later, he's back in my life, making promises I'm not sure he can keep.

When I found out A.R. Rose was writing a book I was excited. I joined her reader group and when she sent out a teaser I was done for. I knew this book was going to be amazing and I couldn't wait. When it hit my inbox I lost my crap. I devoured this book in 2 days. It is a dual point of view, second chance romance, slow burn, with spice and an alpha male. This book is so well written and amazing and it is by a debut author. In the book not only do you meet Elle and Ryder in this book, but you also get introduced to the characters for the second book. The fire scene devastated me.
A second chance without all the fluff
Second chance romance can be so cliche, but this one wasn't at all and that's a great thing! No 200 pages of bs fluff where we have to watch the MC's dance around and screw everything up 20 times. This book has just enough angst to make my heart break, but not so much that I wanted to throw my kindle across the room. Ryder is the typical jock with the blonde girlfriend, Elle is the nerd with a crush. This book is a beautiful tribute to two people who actually do the right thing and put others before their feelings for each other. Flash forward 10 years and circumstances put them back in each others orbits. A.R. writes emotions in a way that you can't help but feel like you are part of the story, at least I can't. She also setup book 2 beautifully, I'm DYING to know what happens and on my way to get it downloaded as soon as I hit submit on this review.
