Did someone say enemies to lovers?!  I AM HERE FOR IT!

The Second We Met is a standalone new adult enemies to lovers story and book two in the Fulton U series by Maya Hughes.

This is my first book by this author, but I feel like I need to dive into her back-list because I LOVED this one!  Maya has an easy but evocative writing style with good pacing and fantastic characters.

I liked Elle and Nix so much that I didn’t want this story to end.  Elle has a lot on her plate — she’s ambitious and has trust issues from being burned in the past.  Nix is the golden boy — a star athlete with professional prospects and an over-bearing father.  The close proximity (as neighbors and as volunteers on the same project) adds a fun element, and I loved the shift in their relationship as they go from enemies to friends then more.  They really are perfect for each other, but it took some bumps and lowering of their guards to get to that realization.  The burn is slow but so good!

Overall, I absolutely recommend The Second We Met!  This sweet and sexy read is perfect for fans of contemporary sports romance, and what better time to read it than football season!
