I loved every minute of this book and I went in blind. The story of a forbidden love between the coach of the football team that she is following for her journalism class but on top of it is the dad of her new best friend. Tyler was a young dad so the age gap between him and McKenzie was 15 years. I loved the buildup of their relationship. They became friends before anything physical happened.

It was sad when I thought they were going to break up. I cried because they are meant to be and finally Kylie realized not letting them be together hurts 2 important people in your life. I would like a story for Kylie and Jake hopefully but I will be looking at other books by this author :). I gave this book 4.5 ⭐️ and 2.5 🌶️ the sneaking around was hot but that car scene was 🥵.

I highly recommend picking up this book. I loved forbidden/taboo romance before but I love it even more now.
