Meghan Quinn has done it again, folks. She totally WRECKED me with this story. I’m all about the slow burn and this book delivers. Lincoln and Indie are an absolute dream. What starts out as an enemies to lovers story quickly becomes friends to lovers. The friendship lasts years before these two finally admit their true feelings. I don’t think I’ve been this emotionally invested since Carson and Milly. There’s just something about these baseball boys that grabs at my heartstrings and doesn’t let up.

So, like I previously mentioned, these two *kind of* had an enemies to lovers thing at the beginning. Both of their moms had been trying to set them up with different people all summer long and as a last ditch effort, they stuck them together a few nights before school started again. Turns out they were both athletes at the same college, Brentwood. Indie played soccer and Lincoln played baseball. I wouldn’t say their connection was instant, there were definitely attracted to each other at the beginning, but were both dead set on not being in a relationship with anyone. The night progressed a little like their friendship ending up progressing, hesitantly at first, then filled with laughs and good times, and eventually ending with lust and unresolved feelings. Although their relationship takes years to fully blossom and flourish, it’s all worth it. Indie and Lincoln get their well-deserved happily ever after when you’ve almost given up hope as the reader. It’s scary when years go by and people grow and change. But the one solid thing that never changes is how much Lincoln and Indie love each other. Even if it does take them forever to realize it.

To say that this book was “good” or “well written” or “addicting” doesn’t quite fit the bill. It was MORE. I can’t finds words to describe how much I love the way Meghan Quinn writes her leading men, but they truly stand out to me. They are emotional, even if they are clueless. They are strong, but not only physically. They are genuine men. Each and every one of them is unique and special is his own way, but they are all absolutely perfect. Yes, even Jason. Now the women? WOWZA. These ladies are unstoppable. I would literally kill to be in their WAG circle. What a life. I mean, you’ve got the most badass women as friends. Every one of them is extremely special, whether it’s Milly with her baseball expertise (she’s my fav) or Natalie with her passion and brilliant mind (second fav because Cory deserves the world), every one of these ladies is a queen. I just can’t even begin to explain how much I love and adore this series. I own all the books in paperback and cannot wait until this one arrives on my doorstep!! 5 stars all around. 

“I am so in love with you, it’s painful. So fucking in love with you.”
