jack took my heart, stomped on it, and then put it back together!
okay wow. not that far into the book i knew the secret. i had the gut feeling. but dang did the emotions play out in this one. the beginning was absolutely brutal. jack quite literally took my heart and stomped on it. then when they reconnected things started ti rebuild themselves. i knew that samantha needed to confess her secret, and it was painful to see her try to do it and then back out of it. i loved seeing through her journey how much of a strong woman she is. and i absolutely fell in love with lucy. seeing jacks growth and him take responsibility and apologize for the past made me happy for him. and then also seeing samantha own up made it all come together. their story was so uniquely theirs and i am so obsessed with jack and samantha. love love loved this book!

Samantha and Jack have a complicated past that starts about 8 years prior to the main plot of the book. The two meet when Jack starts working for Samantha’s brother. Despite the rational part of their brains that scream DON’T DO IT, they fall into bed together. Then abruptly, Jack grows a conscience and kicks Samantha to the curb because he doesn’t want to rock the boat with her brother. He cuts ties and Samantha has no choice but to walk away.
Fast forward 8 years, they run into each other again at the super bowl (Did I mention Samantha’s brother plays for the NFL?). Jack is somehow more handsome now and wants to pick up where they left off, but Samantha has way more baggage than he does. Secrets come to light and they’re left to decide, can they forgive each other for past mistakes?
This ones a pretty light and fluffy read. It’s predictable, but not in a bad way. It’s super cute and has a lovely happily ever after. It’s quick. & The interactions between the characters are adorable which made me consistently smile, but the real MVP of the story is Samantha’s brother for just being an all around stand up guy. Three cheers for great support systems!!!
If you like second chances this is a good book to read.

I'm so thankful there was NO third act breakup. Praise! This book was so sweet and the characters were genuine. I loved the epilogue.
