TJ and Lola, strangers from different places, meet in Miami at his birthday party the summer after high school graduation. Despite Lola being sad about her recent breakup, she and TJ bond over having the same birthday, with one thing leading to another. They left a mark on each other, but as we suspect, they fail to swap contact info, and go their separate ways after a one night stand.

Fast forward a few years, and both TJ and Lola are juniors at university. TJ is a top basketball athlete with potential for the NBA. Lola just transferred to the university after starting her time in community college due to the fact that she has a 2 year old boy, who she raises with the help of her best friends after being disowned by her parents. You can guess who the father is, and when Lola finds out TJ is at the same university, so begins their love story to figure out how they move forward now that it's clear they have a child together.

I'm normally not a huge fan of college romances, but I loved seeing TJ get his act together after being in shock, and stepping up to the plate as a young father. The chemistry between Lola and TJ was just as strong as it was on that Miami beach, and TJ won't stop until he convinces Lola to give them a real chance at love and a family. The friend group and found family vibes were TOP tier. TJ's housemates/teammates were incredibly supportive of TJ, Lola and the baby, and there are some cute moments with them bonding with the baby that just melted my heart.

This was a solid debut from this author, and I will definitely continue on with the series!
