A disgraced football star, a high school in need of saving and a reunion too hot to handle Headteacher Ella Lucas and football star Jake Prince have a very complicated history! Their mind-blowing encounter two years ago is proving impossible to forget now Jake is back, in her small town after being kicked out of the NFL. She knew he was trouble then, but Ella has enough on her plate without having to worry about Jake Prince. Her school’s on the brink of closure, and she needs help. Then it dawns on her that maybe they can benefit each other - in more ways than one! Ella will help Jake to restore his disgraced reputation, if he can coach the football team to a winning streak. With nothing to lose, Jake reluctantly agrees.... As the school season heats up so does the inevitable chemistry between them. Far from being stuck in the past, the sparks between them are still there. And although he may look like her next mistake, Ella is determined that she will keep her hands off Mr Anti-hero even though she has an itch longing to be scratched. Because Ella's has one golden rule: this is strictly business, they are never ever getting back together....

Ella and Jake grew up together in the same small town in Kansas. Like all small towns, everyone knows everyone else’s business. Both of them have lived in the shadows of their relatives and their own pasts. Ella is principal of the high school, but it’s being threatened with being shut down and consolidated. She’s also raising her teenage brother and he’s surly and uncooperative (with some reason and well, he’s a teen). Jake is retired from the NFL and has bought a bar and made it his own. Turns out it used to be Ella’s favorite Friday night hangout, but that was before Jake changed all the music on the jukebox. To save the school, Ella convinces Jake to come to the school and coach a football team, hoping if they can win, it will show that the school is necessary.
I liked the friendship between Ella and Jake but their relationship went from 0 to 60 in just a couple of pages. I don’t mind instalove but they haven’t seen each other in years and bam, they’re kissing. The writing is okay and it is easy to read quickly. I learned this is a rewrite and compared to Taylor/Travis; I didn’t really get that, but it is a fun read.
