Publisher's summary

The first time I saw Saxton Crawford we were in high school. He was the football star and I was just another invisible teenage girl. Now, he is a famous quarterback and the bane of my existence. And by bane, I mean his presence has brought back 10 years of secrets. Ones I'd thought I'd dealt with. The minute he walks back into my life, I become that bumbling teenage girl all over again. I'm not having it! Even if the quarterback only has eyes for me. He's irresistible, too handsome for his own good, cocky, and carrying baggage no one wants.

Saxton Crawford has spent years trying to find his mystery girl. Turns out, I'm that girl. I guess I wasn't invisible after all. Bam! Happily ever after, right? Nope, not for me. Not with his demons and mine. It's going to take every ounce of my will power to resist him. So, what would it take to get him to leave me alone? Do I want that? Maybe I should be asking myself: "What would it take to win his heart?"

Beautiful love story

This was a very beautiful story of two people that were lucky enough to meet again. Thoroughly enjoyable listen to another book by EL DuBois. The narration by Elizabeth Blakely was superb with her accent for the characters ain't to the story. Highly recommend books by both the author and narrator.

Quick listen

Plot twist, 2nd chance romance, and a psycho stalker makes for an interesting listen. Performance was pretty good. I could have listened to much more of this story.

Fantastic story!

I love it when a book has characters that I can relate to. This is my first EL Dubois story and she pulled me in from the start! Sailor is a girl the invisible girl in high school that has the crush on the popular boy, in this case Saxton. Thinking your invisible and actually being under the radar are two different things though as we all know. Years later, the two are thrown together when Saxton is in need of public relations coverage, and Sailor is the woman to do it. Now matured and more confident, she is ready to take on life. But does that include Sax? This second chance at love is a sweet story with a suspenseful twist. I love Sailor. Her personality is one easily related to, just trying to get by and move on with life. I love her tenacity and how she has gotten to know herself. Sax is a great book boyfriend. He is sweet, protective and attentive. Their chemistry is strong and I love how their relationship progresses. The twist in this is not necessarily surprising to me, but I love how it all played out. The strong survived and it was a very satisfying ending! I really enjoyed this story!

A story like this needs a narrator that can provide a younger version of characters and show the maturity as they grow. Elizabeth Blakely gives us that in this story. I love how she can take Sailor from the teenage girl to the adult. With her voice, you can hear how she has matured, gained confidence and grown! I also love her flawless ability to go between characters and her male voices are wonderful.

Another awesome book

Wow! Another awesome book by this talented author who's writing I've grown to love. Amazing characters, wonderful storyline, beautifully written and so addictive.
