The Comeback

Houston Pumas Sports Romance, Book 1

De: Ranee S. Clark

Narrado por: JD Tomlinson, Amelia Hugh

Eight years ago, he asked me to marry him and I said yes… then I ran.

Ava

Even so, I never dreamed we'd end up here—him hating me for the choices I made to save his career. It's fine. I've moved on.

I've had a few bumps in the road with my rising event planning career, but running my best friend's wedding to her pro-football fiancé will fix all of that. If I pull off the perfect wedding.

There's one more bump I wasn't expecting—my ex, Jett McCombs, is a groomsman, and seeing him again makes two things clear.

I still love him.

He still hates me.

Jett

The last thing I need distracting me in the middle of a championship football season is a wedding, especially not some high-profile circus. And I definitely don't need to face the ghosts of my past and the woman who got away. The woman who gave up on us and shattered my heart.

With her in charge of the over-publicized wedding, there's no avoiding her or the fact that I'm not as over her as I thought.

One thing I know for sure is that I can't trust Ava with my heart ever again.

Someone just needs to tell my heart that.

This sweet second-chance sports romance is inspired by Jane Austen's Persuasion.

Recommended!

Totally enjoyed this story! A few frustratingly up and downs but (in the end) it is not disappointing.

loved this persuasion inspired story

This 2nd chance romance was sweet, clean, romantic and angsty. It kept me glued to my kindle app for the last day. Love the Jane Austen inspired plot and the football references. A really great read that I highly recommend!

A Great Second Chance Romance!

This book was fantastic! I have loved every book that I have read or listened to by this author, but I still was a bit nervous as I began to read this one. I knew that there was going to be angst and angry feelings from the past on the part of the MMC and I wasn't sure if I was up for that at the time I was starting the story. And, of course, there were those things because they were an important part in bringing the main characters back together.

But one of the things I loved about this story was the pining that these two were doing for each other. Even as Jett didn't want to admit to himself what he was feeling, it was there nonetheless. There were so many moments where you could feel how close Jett and Ava had once been by the way they knew and reacted to each other. It took a while for things to truly work out for them and for both of them to talk things through, forgive and move forward. But it was so worth it!

I'm looking forward to reading my way through the rest of the series. The narrators did a wonderful job with these characters, too!
