Archers Football, 2
In one devastating moment, Emmie’s life changes forever. Desperately trying to reconnect with the brother she lost, she follows his footsteps to the charming town of Anchorridge Cove. There she meets “Coleson”, and they quickly bond over their shared grief.
After winning the Super Bowl, Crew Coleson Kiles learns his mentor has died. He travels to Anchorridge Cove to honor the man he considered a father figure, and meets the woman of his dreams.
Both hide who they really are. Will their fake identities bring them together or end their future before it’s even begun?
Excerpt:
“Aren’t you going to order?” Emmie asked.
He shook his head. “Would it sound creepy if I said I only came in here because I saw you enter?”
“Yes,” she answered. “Utterly creepy.”
He grimaced. “Sorry.”
“I didn’t say creepy couldn’t be charming.” She tilted her head. “Unless you turn into a serial killer. Or a serial rapist. Or anything having to do with serial in general.”
“Scouts honor,” he said, raising his hand. “No serials.”
She grinned. “Why do I feel like you weren’t a Scout?”
“Is it my rakish allure?”
“Oh, definitely,” she murmured. “I thought to myself, self, that man can’t possibly be the next Ted Bundy because he’s got a rakish allure.”
He chuckled.
The salted caramel ribbon swirl dripped onto her fingers so she had to hurry and lick the melting sides. Crew had never wanted to be an ice cream cone more. His body reacted very inappropriately for being in a public place.
“I, um, have to go,” she said.
“Yeah, right. Me too. I’m heading to do some grocery shopping.”
“I did that yesterday.” She glanced down, and a look of uncertainty crossed her face. “I know we don’t know each other, but would you like to come over for dinner?”
“Yes,” he replied softly. “I would love that.”
“Great. So, is six tonight okay?”
“Well, let me check my calendar, oh, wait, I’m on vacation. Six would be great.”
“Great,” she answered.
“We’re saying the word ‘great’ a lot, did you notice?”
“Yeah, isn’t that great?”
He laughed.
Honestly I had a hard to getting into this one and I don't know why. The characters were ok and the writing was ok as well but I'm not sure if it was just the tone of the book that threw me off or what but it's absolutely nothing against the author which is why I still gave it 5 stars. Just wasn't for me.
