Both of these two are stubborn and are on opposite ends of the argument initially. A couple of bets, some changing opinions, a bit of jealousy, a few setbacks, and unexpected attraction complicate things. That does not even take into account the whole being his brother's ex thing. 

Will they find a way to navigate all the things coming at them and deal with not only their physical attraction but also the feelings that they are too afraid to deal with?

This is a funny, sweet, sexy, humorous, angsty, football player and brother's ex, not-supposed-to-happen, small-town romance. These two have oodles of sexual tension and a fun rapport once they learn the appreciate the other. But their lives are full of complications and situations requiring secrets and causing guilt. Sometimes I got so frustrated with everything going on and really felt bad for them because they are truly good people who deserve happiness but hate hurting other people. Her son is adorable and their firecracker inn guest kept me laughing. I had mixed feelings about a couple of other characters and they made me want to smack them at times. 

I was not sure how it was all going to come out in the end. They definitely had some challenges. But there are a couple surprises and I loved the epilogue.
