On the Ropes by Kathryn Nolan
5.0
I don’t know what makes me want to visit Philadelphia more. Wanting to run on the world famous Rocky steps or Tabitha and Deans love for their city. How about a little bit of both? That’s what “On The Ropes” is for me. Especially after that SEXY scene right out in front of the steps! There’s a reason why I named this one of my top 5 reads of 2021.
Tabitha and Dean’s friends to lovers story fills me with such pure happiness, I want to scream.
Childhood friends Tabitha and Dean are reacquainted when Tabitha moves back to their small South Philly neighborhood when she’s in between projects as a successful filmmaker. Dean has stayed in the neighborhood after his retirement from boxing.
When they wind up as temporary neighbors, they rekindle their friendship that leads to a beautiful, steamy romance when their neighborhood needs help with a vacant lot the city is trying to condemn. All of the quirky neighbors all around make the story so much fun. But what I can’t get over is how much the love for their South Philly portrays in every character. The scenery that Kathryn paints of the neighborhood makes it so friendly, magical and inviting that it makes me jealous. It made me love the city as much as they do and I’ve never even been!
This book brings everything that you could possibly be looking for in a modern day beautiful romance. It has depth, emotions, feelings, community pride and new love so beautiful, it would make you want to cry. Not to mention the steamy sex scenes. Whoa, baby. I love it . This is definitely a story you want to be apart of.
