MY REVIEW
Nova's new neighbor is annoying, and after she meets him, smug and cocky, gorgeous, and...apparently doesn't remember their ons from years ago. How humiliating. But at least it's not too bad, he doesn't remember her, so he can't say anything awful about that night. Right? Well, she was wrong about him not freaking her out because now the man is asking her to be his fake girlfriend to get all the crazy matchmaking people of their small town off his back. You see, he's the high school's new football coach, and everyone knows the south takes its football SERIOUSLY! So that means they want him to stick around. What better way to get him to stay than to find him a woman? Yeah. Cringe. Yikes. But Nova will do just fine at keeping them at bay. Until fake starts feeling awfully real. Now Ronan's faced with a life changing decision - take his chance to get back into the NFL, or stay where his heart is? Nova's not sure what he'll choose, only that she wants him to be happy, so she's resigned herself to going it alone, again.
Ronan's heart was broken back when he first met a gorgeous woman dressed as Princess Leia. The one with the hot costume. He may have no memories of that night because he was already spiraling into depression, alcohol and other bad decisions, but he sees Nova now. Sees her beautiful, giving heart. Sees how she cares for her teenaged sister. How she loves their small town. Asking her to help him keep away all the wackadoodle crazies trying to find him a woman seems like the best idea. Even if he's starting to fall for her, though, he's probably not sticking around, about to head out to bigger things like getting back into the league. But can he really leave his heart behind by heading to take a coaching job in the NFL?
Ahh how I've missed reading Ilsa's sweet and sassy heroines and the men they bring to their knees. Nova is the kind of heroine I love best with her big heart and the way she goes after what she wants, and Ronan was damn swoony even though his waffling made me want to smack him a time or two. There was witty, snarky banter, hot chemistry, lots of heartfelt emotion, and a secondary cast as amazing as the two leads. I loved these two, their friends (Tuck!!!) and fellow residents, and the love they found with each other.
