 Lauren just nails all my favorite tropes. This book? Second Chance Romance and Single dad...ugh I love it.

They meet and make plans but life throws a wrench in the form of a job that moves Katie out of the state. Harlan remembers her as the one that got away but ultimately continues to live his life. Fast forward 7 years; Harlan is a single dad and Katie just found her fiancé and her mother making out at her wedding venue. What's a girl to do? Get smashed at a local bar in her wedding dress, duh. Happy of happies who should she run into? Harlan! Finally they get their chance. JK. Katie lands Harlan's football team as a yoga client so they have to table their romance...again. How will that work out though when they're not states apart and spending loads of time together? hehe

I'll give the credit, Erin Mallon is hit or miss for me as a narrator. When she does that holding the last letter of a word thing I want to break sh*t but she didn't do that in this one and I love her for it. I found her narration very enjoyable.
