Kyle Robbins: Seattle's rookie tight end and the first boy to break my heart. Oh, did I mention he's also my new client... and fake boyfriend? I thought I left Kyle and our complicated past behind me, but when he saunters up as my new client at a house showing, I’m quickly reminded how much he still haunts me. I try to walk away, but the stubborn jerk isn’t having it. In fact, he doubles down on working with me, as if our tragic history doesn’t exist at all. The commission from working with him is the key to a new life for me and my son. It’s worth putting up with the cocky athlete long enough to find him a house. But when Kyle sees the bruises left by my darling ex-husband, he thinks he can save me — and suddenly, he’s interested in much more than just being a client. Before I know it, I’m wrangled into a scheme so crazy it just might work. Kyle pretends to be my fake boyfriend so he can keep my ex in line until I get the commission from this house sale and get the hell out of Seattle for good. But with a past as thick with chemistry and tension as ours is, it’s not long before those fake touches feel all too real. Every brush of his hand against my back has me spinning back to that night. Every kiss has me dizzy with the love I felt at eighteen. And every day that passes without me finding him a house has me wondering how much longer I can survive this game we’re playing. Fake-dating each other was supposed to be for my safety. But I can't help thinking my heart is more at risk now than ever before. ________________________________________________ TROPES: Sports Romance Fake Dating Second Chance Single Mom He Falls First "Who Hurt You" One Bed

    THIS BOOK WAS SO GOOD. KYLE AND MADELYN WERE PERFECT.

    Kandi never misses, but man oh man, she keeps raising the bar.

    This book was worth the wait.

    I received this book as an ARC and I could not wait to read it.
    First, I want to touch on the fact that she made Madelyn so strong after what she's been through. She was a tough bitch after experiencing domestic violence and a terror of an ex and I love that she never backed down to protect her son!
    That being said, I didn't expect to cry the way I did when Kyle told his story and we learned the truth of their past. But, I loved that he took his bad experiences and become the best father and partner to Madelyn and Sebastian.

    Their story just touched me so much and I would read this ten times over. Kandi does a great job by keeping us up to date on the other couples we've grown to love in this series as well and I cannot wait for Bradens book which I feel is coming next.
