"Your friendship will always be what carries me. what fills me with joy. but it's your love that sustains me and fills the void that always missing." 

You might think that an entire series centered around the trope of single dads might get boring after a book or two. But, NO! Willow Aster, small town romance extraordinaire, makes each book in this series feel fresh and new!

Book 2 in this series, Secret Love, was my first book by Willow, and even though I still need to go back and read book 1, I absolutely ADORED book 3!!!

Here we meet Rhodes and Elle, two life-long best friends, who find themselves working very closely together- Rhodes in the NFL, and Elle a cheerleader for the same team. There's a no fraternization rule between the players and cheerleaders, but they're just friends, so that shouldn't be a problem, right??

This story is told in dual timeline, both in the present and the past as they grow up, which helps give background to their lives and life-long friendship.

Add in Rhodes' son, Levi, and his ADORABLE relationship with Elle, who also happens to be his godmother, and you've got yourself a book you won't forget for a long time!!
