Available now!

eARC Provided by the publisher 

A playboy football player. A shy librarian. When old friends reunite, opposites attract in a witty and lighthearted romance about taking chances and falling in love against the odds.

It’s an unwritten rule small-town librarians shall not commit spontaneous acts, for fear of mortal embarrassment. I’d certainly just proved it true, though hiring an escort was perfectly logical. How else should I overcome my fear of intimacy without risking heartbreak?

Unfortunately, what came next wasn’t so logical.

Instead of a dating coach, Griffin King showed up. Yes, that Griffin my childhood neighbor and now, to my dismay, an obscenely handsome pro football player. He’s not actually an escort, but how was I supposed to know that?

Avoiding him after the mix-up is impossible. The man is everywhere—put in time-out by his agent after a PR snafu. Griffin might be an outrageous flirt determined to torment me until I snap, but he’s also the perfect man to help me.

The lessons aren’t what I thought they’d be. Neither is Griffin. Every time we touch, every time he shows me a different side to myself—and to him—I can’t help but wonder if we’re about to break another the playboy and the good girl aren’t supposed to fall in love.


This was a new to me author which is always fun. Griffan King was the boy next door who relentlessly teased Ruby. That's ok because it was his twin brother she liked best anyway. When she moved away still as a child, she thought she'd never see the King twins again. Fate had other plans. Ruby wants to finally get serious about getting into the dating game but when a dating coach doesn't quite work out, she ends up with none other than Griffan King playboy of the two King brothers. Griffan for his part is never taken seriously and maybe there were reasons for that, but Griffan is not at all what he seems. Griffan decides he can be coach to Ruby. Thing is they actually end up teaching each other and maybe falling in love. These two had some personal obstacles to overcome. Didn't make it easy the least bit. Lots of interesting side characters to help move the story along. Definitely enjoyable and worth reading the next book in this series.
