📌“I waited so long to hear those words. I always thought you just forgot me.” 
“Never. I could never forget you, Gillian. You’re the love of my life.”

Give me all the small town romance.
Give me a band of brothers. 
Give me all the second chance.
Give me all the single parent. 
Give me all the pro-athlete romance. 
Give me all the spinoff series 🥹

When we met Ben I had mixed feelings. I mean, I very much wanted him to get lost because he was not for her! But he was also amazing. And then he… maybe wasn’t. I didn’t know. But now I do. 

He is… Gillian’s. That’s who he is. And it felt so right. So, “finally found that puzzle piece I was looking for” kind of perfect. 

And oh how I adore all of his brothers — yes, specially you Jude — and all the cousins and Gill’s friends. And Clay!!!!!! Ah, that kid had me wrapped around his finger 😭 

I know. I know. You want to stop right here and go order this book. I get it. Go, it’s okay. This will still be here when you’re done 😜
