But her life completely flipped upside down when she gained custody of her high school aged sister, since her mother passed away. Ronan is retired from the NFL and has moved from NYC to Texas to coach a high school team and Nova is in Texas to be her niece’s guardian. While the “meet cute” (at least the first time around) was a heart-punching cringe for me, the second time around gave me a side of Nova that I found completely irresistible.

A true cinnamon roll hero who is dealing with grief and job pressure and a small town who is all up in his business. Nova also developed a strong bond with her English students and it was heartwarming to see her get through to the kids who really needed it. Nova loved his scars and was patient with Ronan because he needed time to properly put back together his life after the trauma of losing his ex gf and Ronan loved, cared and helped Nova when she moved back in her hometown after losing her mom.

It definitely caught my eye and made me want to pick it up asap 😂 I’m so glad that I listened to my gut cos I lovedit!Three years later, Nova moves back to her small town of Blue Belle where she encounters the football coach who turns out to be Ronan. High school kids referring to her as an older lady - noone ever would refer to a 28 year old as an older lady.
