Mary Silver hates Leo Hernandez and for years she’s been able to avoid him the most she can. Until she needs somewhere to go until her house can be fixed and her only option is her neighbor. Moving in with Leo wasn’t part of the plan but it’s only temporary until she sees sides of Leo he doesn’t show the rest of the world and wonders if she was wrong about the past.
I will say after Quarterback Sneak I wasn’t sure if I would love another one in this series just as much. But this one was Every thing I wanted it to be. I love that we get to start from the past where it all began for Mary and Leo. I thought the way they met was so unique and it gave me a new perspective on both characters.
The forced proximity was everything and I love Mary’s character, she is a very strong sure of herself person who obviously still struggles with the self doubt other people have put in her head. Watching her fight for her dream of being a tattoo artist was my favorite. Getting more of Leo and his softer side and who he actually is opposed to the guy we’ve been shown the last 3 books.
I am glad the author didn’t drag out the big reveal and Mary and Leo got to love each other the way they were always suppose to. My heart hurt for these characters and what they might have missed out on the past 6 years but I love watching these characters find their way back to each other. Leo is an ultimate book boyfriend who may mess up from time to time but once he has Mary he’ll do anything to keep her and keep her safe. With a dirty mouth to keep up with it.
I love a complex mother daughter relationship and I love to see them come together at the end. This series will be one of my favorite and the ending had me tearing up just a little bit watching all these couples truly get their happily ever after. It’s bittersweet to say goodbye to all of them.

This series is ah-mazing!!! Totally obsessed!
.
We FINALLY find out why it is that Mary hates Leo so much! Throughout all the previous books we’ve seen how she interacts with him and I have been SO CURIOUS what their story was and it was SO GOOD!
.
Turns out that they actually met in High School through online gaming at 15 and became friends of a sort only talking through the game or on the phone. Mary never revealed her true identity to Leo despite him asking multiple times.
When she finally decides to reveal herself it does not go as planned and breaks her heart completely.
.
Fast forward 7 years and here they are in Boston living across the street from one another and Leo has NO IDEA who Mary really is…..aka the girl he fell head over heels in love with back in high school who ghosted him and crushed his heart. At least that’s how HE remembers it. Mary remembers a different story altogether where he was a total jerk that broke her heart. Hence her disdain for him.
When Mary’s house floods and she needs a place to stay, Leo jumps in and offers for her to live at The Pit until her house is repaired. NOT something that Mary is interested in until she realizes that is really her only option. Living with Leo and 3 other football players is definitely interesting and she finds herself becoming friends with them.
The attraction, chemistry and tension between Mary and Leo is palpable and when it finally comes out WHO she really is and their history together Leo is determined to keep her forever. He’s just go to prove that he won’t hurt her again which, is not the easiest thing for Mary’s traumatized mind to do.
.
I LOVED this book! It might be my favorite of the series… 10/10 would recommend.
