Hannah
Maddox Lovelace. The captivating football player I met in college.
The one I only knew for a week. A week that was… life-changing.
Until my phone rang, and I had no choice but to go home.
I left Maddox a letter, putting my feelings on paper, giving him my number, hoping he’d call.
But he didn’t call.
He never called.
He got drafted into the professional league and lived like a king while I stayed home and struggled to stay afloat.
I may have followed his career, but now that he’s retired from football, I’ve forced myself to stop thinking about him.
And it’s okay that I won’t ever see him again. That week in college was fifteen years ago.
I’m not in love with Maddox anymore.
I might even hate him.
Maddox
Hannah Utley. The name that’s haunted me since my senior year of college.
The girl who caught my attention with her wide eyes and freckled nose.
Who spent one week twisting up my insides until she stole a piece of my heart the night we got locked inside the campus library.
The girl who disappeared without a word.
It’s the name of the girl I’ve been trying to forget for fifteen years.
And it’s the name looking up at me from the résumé in my hand.
Because Hannah Utley works for the company I just purchased.
And that makes her mine. Whether she likes it or not.
There were parts of this book that I thought worked well, and parts that I thought were resolved too quickly, and oddly I think they are 2 sides of the same coin, so to speak.
I liked that Hannah and Maddox didn't spend a lot of time dwelling on the past and that we got to see a lot of them together in the present, but in the same way, this also made their relationship and a couple of other events in the book feel like they weren't fully dealt with. So, what worked in one way also left me feeling like I wanted a little more time spent in the resolution.
There were also a couple of places where i thought the dialogue came off a little stiff and pulled me out of the story briefly. Not enough to ruin it, just enough to feel noticeable.
That said, I enjoyed this title. It definitely held my interested and I was curious to know how it would resolve and how they would settle out.
I enjoyed and recommend this title.
