Perfect for you if...

You enjoy romance with genuine banter and characters who aren't afraid to call each other out on their bullshit.
You like college settings where the stakes feel real. Logan's worried about his future, Grace is rebuilding her confidence, and neither is a pushover.
You want chemistry that crackles but also respect. Grace won't be won over by charm alone. Logan actually has to become someone better.

Maybe not for you if...

You need your male leads to be reformed from the jump. Logan's still a player when this starts, and his redemption arc is the whole point.
You're looking for plot complexity beyond the central romance. This is a straightforward second-chance love story set on a college campus.
You prefer slow burns. The steam builds fast here, and physical attraction is part of how they reconnect.

About this book

College junior John Logan is a hockey player known for his charm and ability to attract women. His life consists of parties and casual encounters, but he harbors concerns about his future after graduation. When a brief encounter with freshman Grace Ivers ends due to a mistake on his part, Logan decides to spend his final year trying to win her back. Grace returns to Briar University after a difficult freshman year, now more confident and self-assured. She is no longer interested in Logan's typical approach to relationships and refuses to be treated like his other romantic interests. If Logan wants a second chance with her, he will need to make a genuine effort. This time, Grace intends to be in control of the dynamic between them.
