She spent five years planning a future that will never exist. He spent five years trying to erase a past he canβt forget.
London is Leah Watsonβs fresh start. When she secures the perfect internship during her study abroad semester, with an infamous celebrity public relations firm, she is determined to forge her own path - one that is nothing like her life back in Oklahoma. That plan is tested when British footballβs bad boy, Killian Ramsey, decides that she's the one he wants and he's playing for keeps.
Will she put her future on hold - again - for the type of man she swore she'd stay away from?
Killian is one bloody good football player. After a tragedy shattered his entire world, the cocky and arrogant face he puts on for the media is a complete lie. When he meets Leah, his heart starts to beat for the first time in years. But when the feelings get too real, his perfectly constructed facade starts to slip.
Will he risk it all to be with her - taking whatever penalties are thrown his way - or will he play it safe?
I absolutely adored this book. I fell in love with the cover on Amazon and decided I would give this KU book a try. Best decision ever.
Killian is an ass, but he’s an ass that is emotionally broken and has decided to give everyone the big FU to protect himself. He’s a famous English footballer and he can do what he wants. That is, until American PR intern Leah shows up and turns his world upside down.
I loved Leah most of the book. Determined to turn her life around after being dumped by her longtime boyfriend, she stands up for herself and refuses to let Killian push her around. That is until she has sex with him and he believes what he reads in the tabloids about her. He says some pretty harsh things about her (which I expected) and she took it. The brave girl who stood up to him was gone and she let him say and do nasty, nasty things about her without once defending herself. After that, I wondered if she was going to be the old Leah again. Luckily, she turned things back around.
The road to HEA for these two isn’t easy. Killian has to go a lot of groveling at various times, but I think that was exactly what Killian needed to realize his relationship with Leah was different than what he had before and prove to Leah that she is worth fighting for.
This is a TOP READ book for me. I highly recommend it to everyone (it’s in KU and $2.99 for those that don’t have it).
