Resumen del Editor

The past tore them apart.

After a terrible accident took everything from Callie Stewart, enrolling at Blairwood University is supposed to be a chance at a new beginning.

Living his best life, Hayden Watson, star wide receiver for the Blairwood Ravens, is heading straight for the NFL draft, and nothing is going to stand in his way.

The present brings them together.

Their paths were never supposed to cross, but when they do, all those old demons and feelings come rushing back. Hayden thinks he knows all about Callie's life before Blairwood, and he's not ready to let go of the past, much less forgive her for what she has done three years ago.

One thing's for sure...it's going to take more than a kiss to conquer their broken past.

Contains mature themes.

Good but…

Possible spoilers!

I enjoyed the story in the beginning and the direction it was looking like it was going to go. The heat and tension between the MCs was amazing and giving the enemies to lovers vibe. I was even liking the story after the two MCs got together even though it did feel like it slowed way down. I just figured we were gonna start diving into her nightmares and trauma and the hurtles of all of that. But after that everything felt flat and kind of rushed.

I just got this feeling like there needed to be more about the accident and the trauma. She just seemed better after not talking to anyone for three years. Then around chapter 50 is when the ex boyfriend comes in and old bully to MMC and he puts a kink in things causing trouble. Which is fine but it was really towards the end end of the book, so them working through it felt very very rushed. We get a chapter of her upset and the world is over and then by the end of the book they back together cause she decided.

I loved it for what it could be but struggled with it cause of just some small minor things.

I hope you enjoy it and love it. That my reasons for not fully loving it are your reasons for absolutely loving it.

Also the narrators did absolutely amazing!!!!

Wow

This book was a little slow but it had a great story base. Worth the credit. Great way to get into the next story also.

GOOD STORY

loved the story line. kept my interest and great narration. worth the credit! can't wat for the next book.

Loved

I absolutely loved listening to this story. I truly felt like I was living in the book.

Very Engaging, Emotional Tale

Hayden and Callie’s story will definitely take you from one end of the emotional spectrum to the other. It drew me in and kept me intrigued. I thought the situations and characters were very believable. I especially identified with Callie’s physical challenges because I was born with a disability, and although she acquired hers later on, it was good to see physical differences represented and addressed.

Raquel Beattie is a new narrator for me and I enjoyed her interpretation of the characters and the plot. Troy Duran is my go-to male narrator and as usual, he was great here, perfect pitch every time!

I loved the introduction of Nixon and Yasmin’s story in the epilogue and am excited to hear book two in the series!

One important note: My overall rating of this book is four stars because of some very awkward phrases throughout the story, and they pulled me out of action more than once. For instance, instead of saying “Here goes nothing” when doing something that took extra fortitude, a character says “Here comes nothing.” That’s an expression I’ve never heard; and to “enter inside a room” is redundant. To say you enter a room is sufficient. Granted, these are relatively minor issues in the grand scheme of things, but when you become so invested in a book, they do matter.

Sweet College Story

4⭐️ 2🌶
The story was great but lacking on my preferences of spicy. I do love college tropes.

Great Story, Amazing Narration

I really enjoyed this story. I love a food sports romance and a second chance. And you get that in spades with this one.
Anna wrote a wonderful story that will make you feel all the things when reading this one.

The audio to this one is so good. I love anything Troy Duran does and he gives it all in this audio.

These characters have to overcome betrayal and so much more to find their HEA.
I loved these characters, and even the secondary characters will capture your heart.

I can't wait to dive into the next one.

This book had potential

I wanted to like this book, but it just missed the mark. It was quite slow in many places, there were way too many grammatical mistakes, and the narration was annoying.

Kiss to Conquer

This book started out OK, but soon after it fell flat. Troy is great to listen to as always the female was just OK. The story moves along slow and repetitive. The characters aren't interesting, no growth or change, I just wanted to end. I'm glad this one was a freebee it's that bad. Don't waste your credit or money!!!

Couldn’t finish

The H was a manwhore and the h was a doormat. It was grossed that he was going to have sex with another girl. Then he saw the h and they got together and was having” sex” with her? The h talked all tough but she was not. It was contradicting same as bantering. It was okay if this was not excessive but it was. I love college romance but this one was not it. First time listen from this author and it was part of my membership. I will try again if her other story part of membership. Since this one was the only one, i won’t be listening.
