She only meant to make her ex look twice. Then the wrong man looked first.
At forty-four, Giselle Dawkins is done being gracious. Done smiling through her ex’s new marriage like it did not cost her anything. Done being the dependable one, the woman expected to make every awkward moment easier for everyone except herself.
So when the family gathers for her grandson’s birthday, Giselle buys an influencer’s designer castoffs, gets her hair right, and walks into the party ready to disturb one man’s peace.
The problem is, the man watching is not her ex. It’s Jarrett Simmons. Twenty-nine, fine as hell, and a pro basketball player between seasons. Jarrett knows better than to feed the headlines, but Giselle is hard to ignore and even harder to leave alone.
What should have been one reckless night keeps finding reasons to become another. Soon, petty revenge has turned into something hotter, softer, and much harder to keep to themselves. When the truth gets out, everyone has something to say about a forty-four-year-old grandmother, a younger athlete, and a relationship neither of them planned to explain.
Giselle Dawkins came to disturb her ex’s peace. She did not expect Jarrett Simmons to become the one disturbing hers.

ClickBack was grown and sexy. It was also raw, real and authentic. I loved that it went into the nitty gritty of an aspect of sports romance that's usually glossed over and showed its effects not only the player but also how it affects their loved ones.
There was a bit of drama, secrets and lies, among other things. For the most part I loved how these things were dealt with and the fact that the author didn't shy away from the characters having real dialogue about them and the emotional impact of them.
I loved the sense of community and familial dynamics in the story as well as the the connection between the hero and heroine, Jarrett and Giselle. The tension and chemistry between them was palpable. I loved it. Even though there was an age gap it didn't feel like a stretch of the imagination, it felt real like they fit. I loved how they were with each other arguments and all.
This truly was a great read. My first by this author but certainly not my last. I highly recommend it.
