When retiring rugby star Ash Trenton considered his next career move, coaching troubled teens at his ex-girlfriend’s California camp wasn’t on the list. But when Camila Morales reappears after eighteen years, begging for his help, he can’t say no to his first and only love.Camila was just sixteen when Ash moved on to start his rugby career, leaving her heartbroken…and on her own to make a life-changing decision. Now she needs his help to win a tournament prize and save her camp. Relying on Ash is the last thing she wants. But while it’s hard to get over being dumped for a sport, it’s even harder to ignore the rush of attraction that has only gotten stronger after so many years apart.
Coaching teens is the hardest job Ash has ever had, and the task becomes personal when he begins to fall for Camila all over again. But when he is offered his dream job, will he choose the job—or the woman whose heart he already sacrificed once?
MY REVIEW:
Not knowing about rugby this was a fun way
to get a taste of it. The characters
were so much fun to read about. They
right away grip you and bring you into the story line and their lives.
Ashley (Ash) Trenton (36) from England was
on vacation in Barcelona, Spain when he met her. He was 18 and with a friend of his, Alfie
(Hardy) Hardwick after just signing his first professional contract. They had saved their earnings from Legends
Academy to be there for two weeks of sunshine and let’s not lie to rid Ash of
his virginity before reporting to preseason training. Going back a virgin would be death by
embarrassment.
As they sat all day for several days
looking and discussing the women walking by at the beach just one space over
was HER, Camila Morales (32) at the time 16.
She was there because she was out of control at home and her father
thought it best to send her to an aunt to babysit for the summer. She went from living in Montana with her mom
and twin brother, Gabriel, to L.A. with her dad, to Barcelona, Spain, the thing
was when she met Ash she had already given her own virginity away. So, when she met him and he took everything
slow well… A guy who thought about her feelings and wants. There first night together was all about just
kissing. Then their two weeks were
up. They said they would keep in
contact.
Fast forward 18 years almost to the
day. It’s his retirement day and the day
they won the world cup. He was on such a
high but also realizing he was missing something as he looked around at his
teammates hugging girlfriends, wives, and children that he hugged a cup.
Back at the hotel partying with his team he’s seeing a woman in the corner staring at him hard he goes to investigate. She seems familiar when he gets to her table he is stunned it is her, Camila. He holds out his hand as he says her nickname, “Mila” she stands up hugs him. He holds on a little to longs she pushes him away he looks aghast she rears back and cold cocks him. Hard enough to land him on his great ass.

This was a fun and funny book. The characters at times were in your
face. At others I would have liked just
a little more explanation but still good.
Gabriel’s story I enjoyed much more I think it just tugged at something
more for me. But this is still worth the
read for sure. I give this 4 stars. Provided by Net Galley.
