About this listen

"The past is never where you think you left it." -Katherine Ann Porter

Professional quarterback Austin Riley has always been smitten with his childhood "enemy," Sommer Hayes. Having known each other their entire lives, the majority of their relationship exchanges have been sneers, insults, smirks, and jeers.

Now, 10 years have passed since he last stepped foot in his hometown. Austin and Sommer run into each other again only to discover that they both share the same secret: their hatred toward one another was merely a cover-up for the true feelings they'd kept hidden.

They finally have a chance to explore the relationship that could have been, but jealousy corrupts their newfound romance. Austin is forced to face a past that threatens to destroy him, define him, and push away the woman he's been waiting his entire life to love.

The auxiliary story was more riveting than the romance

I really didn’t get the deep bond between the two main character, so it kind of made the entire story a little bit hard to believe. the elements towards the end with the family drama was probably the best part of the book but it’s really hard for me to like love. A romance were in the romance between the two main characters isn’t felt very deeply.

I Love This Story

I love this story about Austin and Summer. It is such a sweet love story with a few twist and turns . But the HEA is really worth the journey. K. Alex Walker is a brilliant story teller. I don’t want to give away the plot but just know that you will love this book!

Narration UGH

Narration ruined this book for me. Money down the drain. Story may have been good, even excellent but could not finish this book. Wish I could get my money back.

Great story, but narration needs LOTS of work

The story was excellent. I truly enjoyed following Austin and Sommer's journey. I had to take one star away for the narration. I don't know who thought that that was a good voice for Austin, but they need help. The narrator made Austin sound like maybe he has had too many blows to the head. It was just weird.

What a great story!

This was such a great book. I love the way the story unfolded, and how MMC and FMC came to their feelings for each other. Although Sommer the FMC did drive me a little crazy with her constant doubts about Austin’s feelings when all he constantly did was show her.

Loved the Book book.... Kind of

I read this book on my Kindle, and loved it. So I decided to get the audio version. I tried to listen, but the narrators' "Austin" voice is just irritating. I've attempted to listen several times. I enjoyed all the other voice variations for the other characters, but I can't stomach Austin's' voice.
