Resumen del Editor

Millions of fans have fallen in love with Ava's best-selling Dare series.... Come join the family.

USA Today best-selling author Ava Miles presents a heartwarming and romantic second-chance story about love and family.

Quarterback Jordan Dean thought he had everything until his longtime girlfriend broke up with him. His football rock star life had become too burdensome to her. Plus there was another teensy weensy reason. Chef Grace Kincaid had gotten tired of waiting for him to propose. Ouch.

When Jordan wins the Super Bowl, he tells himself it's enough. But he can't get Grace out of his mind. When she calls, insisting they meet, he eagerly agrees.

Only to discover he's going to be a father.

Grace had always wanted a happily ever after - her yellow house, the picket fence, and children - with Jordan. She's not willing to settle for a shotgun wedding. But hope makes her agree to live next door to him in the dream house he'd secretly had built for her. The fire of their attraction and deep waters of their love reemerge as they become parents for the first time.

The gate between their houses becomes the key - to everything.

The Gate to Everything

A new series of stories about the Dare Boys and there lives on and off the field.

Fantastic book. Don't listen to any bad reviews

I have become a huge fan of A a Miles, favorite part was watching the characters become the people they had been at one time. Great love story with a football theme to appeal to a wide audience, but basically a family romance book. One of the best in all the AVA books I've read. I almost did not read because of a bad review....it would have been a great loss to me. I'm so glad I read and didn't want it to end. There are still good people in the world. Ava I need more to read. please write more!!!!!!!

Awful Dialogue

I was very disappointed in the storyline. The female main character was a wimp and the dialogue was unrealistic. There were some good moments but overall, I didn't like this book. I've read all of the author's books. They seem to be getting worse.

first book disappointed.

I thought Grace was over the top with her privileged wining self. Don't talk to me like that and I can't do this crap. He should have told her to get a grip already!

I want a refund please

This book NEVER got off the ground. Grace was a winer. The story wasn't developed - it was one dimensional and insulting to me as a loyal reader of Ava Miles.

Character development of Grace left a lot to be desired.

I got tired of Grace being such a wimp for so much of the book.

Not my favorite listen

Not my favorite by a favorite author. We’re all flawed and works in progress so this should have been a lovely listen. It wasn’t that for me. I didn’t particularly like either of the MC’s. Jordan was an immature spoiled child who while reveling in his success gave zero thought to the love of his life. He kept waiting for “the right time” and expected her to be there for him with him giving her nothing in return. No commitment, no promise, just “it’s all about me so why aren’t you happy for me?”. And he was a bully when she became pregnant. Again, it was all about him. Grace, who was a successful chef just sat back and waited for him to “come around”. Seriously? I don’t understand female authors writing such spineless women. That aside, she didn’t really try to integrate to his football world and seeemed to be constantly mock and berate it, but I also understood as it made him cocky & egomaniacal. I’m with her, but they were both childlike. And there is no world in which they’d have made it work so the inevitable HEA rang so incredibly false and on some level annoyed me. Once, just once I’d love to see the female character be the one who doesn’t have to turn herself into a human pretzel for a partner and at the very least for their to be equity in whatever resolution they come to. Tired of the male always being the one who gets it all.
