Cade Hall has always been the golden boy of the gridiron. Because of his talent at football, coupled with his father's wealth, he's always gotten his way. But when a night of drunken debauchery lands him in hot water with the college athletic board, neither his influential father nor his charming grin can save him.
Cade finds it a total buzzkill when he is sentenced to community service with troubled youth at an inner-city shelter. But his nightmare is only beginning when his greatest high school regret is the very one in charge of the program, and she has him by the balls in more ways than one. For Avery Prescott, senior year was a nightmare of epic proportions, and Cade Hall played the lead villain. After she fled her small town for college in the bright lights of Atlanta, she thought she had escaped the painful memories of her past.
She never could have imagined Cade would waltz through the door of the outreach program she presided over. But Avery has news for Cade - she isn't the same shy, doormat of a girl she was in high school. Since she holds Cade's football future in her hands, she's more than ready to make payback a real bitch.
Contains mature themes.

I mean, that was the whole story in a nutshell. We did get hit with tragedy. That sucked big time.
In the end, I liked that they ended up together. I just wish he wasn't such a d bag in the beginning.
I loved Kelsey's narration.

After I was able to move past all the flaws in the setting and the logistics of how the author fails to paint an accurate picture of Atlanta, I really enjoyed the book. I love that Cade grew so much in character. This one has a lot of depth and isn’t just spice and a HEA. I highly recommend it if you are looking for a grittier romance novel. This is not a lighthearted, happy, feel good romance, so listener beware. You will of course get a HEA.
Final thought, I wish that we got a bit more closure about both dads. Maybe because I have great parents, I struggle with parents being portrayed as absolute villains. I had so much hope for Cade’s dad, but his character didn’t grow at all. I also assumed we would get an identity reveal for Avery’s dad, but we were sort of just left to wonder about him.
Good Book… So Many Inaccuracies in the Setting

There was a lot of drama, heartbreak, maybe a bit too much but, given the setting, let’s say it’s acceptable. The ending seemed a bit rushed to me but it wasn’t too bad.
The narration has some technical issues. There were a couple of missing words, the recording skipped ahead a second or two. The narrators were acceptable, nothing special, pretty monotonous and not a lot of diversity for different characters.
Story is OK although a bit melodramatic
