Publisher's summary

Before he was “Big Texas,” he was “Zac the Snack Pack".

Bianca Brannen knows time - mostly - heals all wounds. Including those your once loved ones might have unintentionally given you. (Those just take longer.)

She thinks she’s ready when a call has her walking back into her old friend’s life. Or at least, as prepared as possible to see the starting quarterback in the National Football Organization. Before the lights, the fans, and the millions, he’d been a skinny kid with a heart of gold.

Waltzing out of Zac Travis’s life should be easy. Just as easy as he walked out of hers.

what is right in front of you

Great slow burn romance. love both the book and audio book versions. call ie Dalton is one of my favorite narrators. loved the duet narration giving Zach his own personality. the audio book brought each scene to. reading Lone was an awesome story but my mind didn't give the characters hers justice. I suggest both but either will get you to where you want to go!

Cute and fun

Callie Dalton is always amazing and Chris Brinkley...holy only be rocked Zac's voice (swoon).

I loved reading Zac's and Bianca's story. I hate that if they'd communicated a little more, the 10 year gap would never have happened, but I could totally see that happening in real life. They were cute together and it was fun seeing Aiden and Van again. I'll definitely be reading this over and over again, just like Zapata's other books.

Another knockout!

I really enjoy Marianas slow burn. It seems realistic, the characters get to know each other and build a relationship.

Just perfect.

There is absolutely not one thing I can find to say that is negative about this book or the narration. I loved Mariana Zapata already, but there is usually at least one little thing that would stand out in most books that just does not sit right, like a pulled stitch in a sweater. Not here. Nothing but smooth comfort and love. If you are looking for a book to remind you of what feeling truly safe, warm, and tucked in feels like, this is it. And, Good Gravy, the way the narration was done with a true back and forth between narrators and not one chapter of one then the other where you have to get used to the characters sounding different depending on which narrator was speaking, was the best experience. Callie and Chris both are always good but THIS book, just magic. I am so sad it is over. This is definitely one that I will listen to again and again.
