Ellie Coleman is the girl with the reputation in town that she does not deserve, her parents are trash but she is not. It doesn't matter that no one gives her a chance to show she is a decent person. That is until Knox Hendrix sits down beside her in the park and befriends her. Ellie knows Knox is the football player everyone fawns over and can't believe he wants to be friends with her.
Knox knows Ellie is his future but she is skittish and Knox decides to take his time with her. However, he never expected those closest to him to not have his back and when Ellie believes she will ruin his career she flees. Years later Knox finds Ellie and when he gets her in his sights he plans to never let her go again.
Good read, had a few puzzling moments but overall I enjoyed this one. I liked Knox a lot he is a bit of an alpha male who believes Ellis is his world. I look forward to reading more from this author.
I was skeptical because this story is is a spin off from the guy's parents story (which is amaz) so I didn't know if this story could compete. It matched up well. LOVED IT.
Knox comes from the good side of the tracks but Ellie was from the poor side. He was a star football player in high school and college and everyone like him. Ellie was daughter of the parents that the local police know them by their name. Everyone treated her like crap because of her parents. Knox and meet because Ellie always come to park near were Knox to get away from parents problem. Knox always see her there but never that the courage to talk to her. Until that day it will change both of the lives in good and bad ways but mostly good ones. What happen when everyone isn't supportive of their relationship. I like this book because it keep me very interested in it. I couldn't wait to read more after reading the first chapter of the book. What I dislike about the book was when they didn't see each other in 4 year Knox didn't try hard to find her. I recommend people who like romance books and football books to read this book
I feel like this kind of stories are much better when they have 'flashbacks'. I started reading expecting Ellie already a grown woman working on ESPN, trying to forget her ex, (which would have been perfect to show the character development ) and I got this instead. Although It's worth reading! I liked it
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
Read the book on Wattpad two years ago and I found it quite a decent read. Nothing major, but also not something underdeveloped. Again, a nice example of a decent read.
