About this listen

Cade Hall has always been the golden boy of the gridiron. Because of his talent at football, coupled with his father's wealth, he's always gotten his way. But when a night of drunken debauchery lands him in hot water with the college athletic board, neither his influential father nor his charming grin can save him.

Cade finds it a total buzzkill when he is sentenced to community service with troubled youth at an inner-city shelter. But his nightmare is only beginning when his greatest high school regret is the very one in charge of the program, and she has him by the balls in more ways than one. For Avery Prescott, senior year was a nightmare of epic proportions, and Cade Hall played the lead villain. After she fled her small town for college in the bright lights of Atlanta, she thought she had escaped the painful memories of her past.

She never could have imagined Cade would waltz through the door of the outreach program she presided over. But Avery has news for Cade - she isn't the same shy, doormat of a girl she was in high school. Since she holds Cade's football future in her hands, she's more than ready to make payback a real bitch.

Contains mature themes.

heartfelt

I enjoyed the storyline, it was a beautiful love story about two people coming together despite their differences and backgrounds but I feel the author spent too much time telling the backstory and not enough on the rekindle. while the time before is crucial to the stort moving forward I felt it detracted from the overall storyline.
I enjoyed the references to all the Shakespeare and 80's movie that I actually found myself wanting to find the movies and watch them as I was intrigued at how they impacted the main characters lives and thought processes.
