Summary

Kyle Robbins: Seattle's rookie tight end and the first boy to break my heart.
Oh, did I mention he's also my new client... and fake boyfriend?


The commission from working with him is a key to my new life -- it's worth putting up with the cocky athlete. The problem is that my past is dark, and when Kyle sees the bruises, he thinks he can save me.

Fake-dating each other was supposed to be for my safety.
But I can't help thinking my heart is more at risk now than ever before.

TROPES:
Sports Romance
Fake Dating
Second Chance
Single Mom
He Falls First
"Who Hurt You"

Absolutely loved!!!

4.5 stars

Omg this book was so much more than I anticipated! Just amazing!

I never thought I’d say the words that Kyle Robins is absolute perfection but here we are. He was. He was so incredibly perfect. I loved him just so much. Everything he went through and how supportive and loyal and just so beautiful. I loved every part of him.
Madelyn was just so strong. She goes through so much and my heart broke so much. I loved them together. They had some incredible chemistry like wow. 😮‍💨

I loved how this was a second chance romance and the moment they reconnect, that it is a single mom and the way Kyle loves her little boy as his own. Just every aspect of this book I loved. It brought so many emotions. I had tears leaking out at points and the way it wraps up was the best. I’m so glad we got this book! And these narrators did an awesome job!

loved this book! great addition to the series

I loved getting to know Kyle’s backstory and understand why he was the way he was during college, and I loved seeing him take on this new role being a supportive dad and partner to Seb and Mads respectively

Its not a Kandi book without a tonne of angst which was so good but what i loved most is once Kyle and Mads got together they stuck together through everything and never doubted each other (this means no 3rd act break up)

I love love loved being back with the whole RZR gang in this book, you get so many scenes of them all together and get to catch up with their lives and see how they’re all doing post college (aka thriving)

I really enjoyed both narrators and thought they did a great job! (bonus points for making the kid voice not annoying as sometimes they can be)

- second chance (childhood friends to lovers to strangers to lovers)
- fake dating (tho let's be real it was never fake)
- single mum
- sports romance (pro american football player)
- no 3rd act break up
- 1st person / dual pov / duet narration
