Brogan is a NFL rookie and with status he has developed the reputation of a playboy. He even has/had a PO BOX where his fan mail was sent. He moved though and forgot to update that PO BOX and now London was getting this fan mail.

London has been receiving Brogan's mail and has had ENOUGH! When she sees him out, she confronts him. He is intrigued and begins to write her to the PO BOX to apologize and try to "buy her a drink".. or a winery! London, Brogan and her ex are all at the same bar one night and well, Brogan becomes the boyfriend. This arrangement will benefit both though because she has the boyfriend and well, Brogan can clean up his not so stellar reputation. 

I LOVED THIS!!! From the letters, the flirting, the banter, the found family, the spice... I just did not want this to end. This was so playful and heartwarming at the same time. London just seems like she couldn't catch a break but eventually when she caught it, that being Brogan, I was cheering for her!!! There were moments when my heart hurt for Brogan but I am so happy he has and is part of the Holland Family.

One thing I want to mention is Brogan's relationship with Archer was something I wanted more of from Burnout and I am glad we got to see their friendship dynamic! (Can't wait for his book)
