The Wrong Move
He was my friend first.
Then my lover—that was my mistake.
It’s been six years since I split with Byron Hendricks, my high school sweetheart. He moved on to become a sports star while I fled to Italy to start a new life without him.
As I walk into my school reunion, the moment his blue eyes find mine across the room, there is not enough metal in the world to armor my heart.
If Byron Hendricks wants something, nothing will stand in his way.
The way he looks at me, the chemistry is undeniable. I’m not that same girl anymore.
He is so wrong for me. Yet it feels right. We are total opposites—he thrives on adrenaline. I prefer a calming environment.
And he is no longer the guy I fell in love with.
He is better.
When Byron is not training, he is with me making me feel like I belong, that I am his home team.
He is ready to risk it all. But I can’t shake the fear when the hurt of the past melts away, will one wrong move tear us apart?
THE WRONG MOVE is a billionaire romance with the added spice of sports. It can be read as a stand alone or you can start with Book one- The Wrong Proposal.

This is the second story in the Hendricks Billionaires and I loved it from the beginning. Byron Hendricks is a professional athlete, who is totally focused on his career. Since he was at high school it has meant everything to him. He did find love once, but he stuffed it up.
Giana Monroe is a painter and knew Byron at high school. He messed up big time with her back then, and their lives went down different paths. She didn’t pine for him and got on with her life but they never quite forgot each other. Can she give him a second chance?
When they meet again Giana wants a relationship but is weary of what happened before. He is becoming successful with the sport and she is travelling the world and gaining accolades. Can these two find love or will they have to give up their dreams?
There are some funny scenes in this book where you will laugh out loud. Cue, naked Byron in Italy. There are moments when both of them will have to trust and deal with their demons.
Loved this book and can’t wait for the next.

It would be The Wrong Move if you don’t read this wonderful story by Leesa Bow!
If I could give it more than 5 starts I would. It is a second chance, high school lovers/friends to lovers, sports romance and the second book in The Hendricks Billionaires Series and will keep you saying, just one more chapter.
In the beginning I was not a fan of the MMC Byron. But, as time passed and he and Gigi (MFC) grew and matured it was easy to see that these two were meant for each other.
Understandably, Gigi’s walls are up this time and they both have their hurdles to overcome. With such strong career driven characters, family influences and international challenges, I was left wondering how they would ever make this work, no matter how much chemistry and spice they have!
What a roller coaster of emotions. Get ready to hang on and have the tissues ready!
Oh and be sure to grab the bonus epilogue!

The Wrong Move was such a fun read! Byron and Gianna were highschool sweethearts but the timing wasn't right and both went on to achieve their dreams. Six years later, both successful, reconnect and sparks fly. They are such an easy going couple and the banter between them is light and fun. Very easy to connect with. I especially loved when they were in Italy, that scene was hilarious!! I'm absolutely loving the Hendricks family and can't wait for her next book!!

I loved this second chance love story by Leesa! This is book two of a delightful series of The Hendricks family and this is Byron and Giana’s story. Byron is a professional basketball player who reconnects with his college friend who was also his lover until things turned ugly. Byron fights to he a better man for Giana, while she has some decisions to make. I devoured this well written book and I was sad to see it finish but I am excited for the next one in this series. I received this book as an arc for my honest opinion.

Byron and Gina second chance
Book 2 can be read without reading The Wrong Proposal.
Duel POV. Second chance. Sports Star
I enjoy the way Leesa tells her stories. Love her main characters as well as the side ones. Looking forward to more in this series.

Byron and Gianna had you hooked from the start.
High school sweethearts, best friends.
But then life takes them in different directions. I loved when they came back together. You could see how much they loved each other.
Byron was a determined character a highly sort after basketball player who let nothing distract him from
His dreams. Until she came back.
Gianna had escaped her past and created a life for herself in Italy, creating beautiful art for a fashion label. But now has come home to help her ailing father. Will
She find something else while she’s home???
When they meet again sparks fly.
I loved their natural, obvious chemistry and you can’t help fall in love with them. They face some hurdles as they reconnect but what’s love that’s not worth fighting for.
I couldn’t put it down I enjoyed the banter, the romance, the locations everything. And having the Hendricks brothers and Charlotte, their sister appear in this book made it all the more enjoyable.
You’ll laugh, you’ll cry and you’ll love the second book in the Hendricks brothers series. I found I needed to read Book 1 The Wrong Proposal before reading this as there are some small spoilers from book 1

The Wrong move is Byron and Giana’s story. Several years after breaking up in school, fate intervenes and they get back together. Their career dreams take twists and turns and they must fight for their relationship.
The Wrong Move is an excellent second entry into the series and the main characters are very likeable. The book is well written and. Look forward to the next story. Highly recommended

It was a swift read. Flowed fast and furious, as story races from high school to college to sports stardom.
Giana and Byron Hendricks, start as friends and soon her crush on him morphs into adorable love. He's is focused on basketball, she on her arts. They both go through growing pangs with usual college struggles - separate schools, distance, strict coaches. Giana dreams in colours but for Byron, solace lies in Giana or Coke.
They separate on a brutal note, a wrong move
At school reunion they come face to face after six years and the story goes through amazing journey from there on.
There's fun, there's steam, there's banter and there's slap on the head realization that they are meant to be together.
Fun and flirty read

A high school friends lovestory that became more.
Giana Munroe and Bryon Hendricks were friends first then part-time lovers. Giana knew that was her mistake.
Bryon moved aaway for college to further his sporting career Giana ran off to Italy to follow her passion of art.
Six years later at a school reunion she hears and sees Bryon and her heart still flutters.
Bryon is now a professional athlete and has become famous in the sporting industry.
Giana knew the boy he was not the famous man he has become she knows she can't let the past crush her again, that's why she now has rules to follow to ensure she doesn't allow the past to hurt her again.
Bryon spots Giana and her smile and laughter still lights him up on the inside, however because of his previous behaviour towards Giana he knows that if wants a chance of redeeming himself he knows he has a lot to make up for to prove himself.
Filled with plenty of humour sprinkled with love.
Well worth reading.

5 Star Review The Wrong Move by Leesa Bow
I have read numerous books from Leesa Bow and have enjoyed them all. I could not wait to dive into The Wrong Move, and I was not disappointed.
When I read the blurb for this book I was intrigued. Byron Hendricks and Giana Munroe have history, but it has been over six years since they broke up. Re-uniting at their high school reunion makes one thing clear, the connection they once had is just as strong as it was.
These two could not have been more different but the chemistry sizzled. Can they come to terms with the past and in doing so find the happiness that they deserve?
A well written story that drew me in and held me captive from the first to the last chapter.

The Wong Move is a second chance romance that will have you consumed from the first chapter. Giana and Bryon’s story start as them being friends, then friends with benefits and then everything falling apart. This book takes you through some ups and downs but in the end their love rules. Absolutely loved the characters and side characters and I cannot wait for the next book in this series.

I thoroughly enjoyed this second book in the Hendricks series. Can Byron overcome his past behaviour, or will his will to win at all costs end up costing him more than he is prepared to lose? With a story filled with humour, family loyalty, joy, and tears as well as some very steamy sex scenes this story will keep you entertained till the very last page.

Giana and Byron’s story is a good one. Byron has to work hard to get Giana back, and she keeps him on his toes. A great addition to this series. Loved it!!
