5 Smooches!
Synopsis
All Andi Parker has ever wanted, all she’s ever dreamed of, is a spot on the Olympic track team. But when an accident leaves her hospitalized with serious injuries and shattered dreams, she’s not only uncertain what her future holds but also completely alone.
Drew Slater is a wanted man. Professional football teams want him for his arm. Women want him for his good looks and magnetic personality. But the well-crafted disguise he wears, the one that helps him score on and off the field, hides secrets. Conceals lies. Threatens the happiness of everyone around him.
One chance encounter brings Andi and Drew together, changing their worlds in ways they never thought possible. Unfortunately, what they thought they knew about themselves—and about each other—might just be the biggest lie of all.
Review
Well, I just happen to come across the title on Netgalley. I saw the cover and was all, damn that looks yummy. I am, after all, in a very intense football player phase. So I read the synopsis and decided to give this book and author a try. I am so glad that I did because this book was like no other that I have had the pleasure of reading and it was a completely different kind of NA novel. I absolutely loved it.
There are so many juicy and delicious plot twist and turns in this enthralling page turner of a story that I pretty much feel that I need to keep my description of the plot very short. Fate brings Andi and Drew together but not under the best of circumstances.
“He was the one who got me moving. He didn’t let me sulk or stay in my room. He pushed me to get better.”
These two have a lot to overcome. So much more than you initially find out in this story.
“I suddenly understood that fine line between love and hate.”
Drew and Andi both I just adored. Drew being the quintessential cocky sexy book boyfriend and Andi being a tough, resilient, funny, and snarky heroine. I just couldn’t get enough of them and although I wasn’t sure if they could overcome some of their issues I was really happy that they got their happily ever after.
“I wish I wasn’t your biggest mistake.”
This is my very first book by J. Nathan and I really enjoyed the writing style. I related well to the characters and they felt very real to me. The story was funny, sexy, and the humor had a good dose of the sarcasm that I so love. The story moved along quickly and had a couple of very big plot twist that I was not expecting but that I greatly enjoyed. I definitely will be reading more from this author.
