The New York Times bestselling author of Big Girl Panties is back with a funny, sweet, and sizzling novel about love, redemption, and second chances.

Heartthrob star quarterback Tyson Palmer has it all: a million-dollar arm, a winning season and the promise of a Superbowl ring. But more importantly, football's biggest star is the ultimate comeback kid. After an addiction to painkillers nearly derailed his career, Tyson got sober and went from zero to hero in the eyes of the public.

But one person remains unconvinced: Dani Carr, a sports commentator with high ratings and following of her own.

Dani can't forgive Tyson's transgressions or forget a single passionate night with him back in college. To make things worse, Tyson doesn't realize that the bombshell with huge ratings is the cute co-ed whose heart he once broke.

But can a sports journalist trying to claw her way to the top and a quarterback who knows all about rock bottom make it to the Super Bowl without destroying each other? And what will happen when Tyson—riding high now that he's revived his career—realizes he needs to make an even more important comeback with Dani? Can he use his million-dollar moves to get past her defenses—or will she sideline him for good?

Stephanie Evanovich is a full-fledged Jersey girl from Asbury Park and the New York Times bestselling author of Big Girl Panties and The Sweet Spot.

      Revelations, redemption, and romance make for a winning combination in Evanovich's charming third outing (after The Sweet Spot). A descent into drug and alcohol addiction sidelined quarterback Tyson Palmer's promising football career. Four years later, he's returned to the field, stronger and sober. Spunky sports commentator Dani Carr can never forget the night she spent with Tyson, her college crush, but she's hesitant to forgive the superstar for his reckless behavior. After a public meeting turns Dani into a media darling, Tyson becomes determined to win her over. Dani, however, wants to keep her heart and her secrets safe. Evanovich adds depth and dimension to a tried-and-true formula, providing readers with relatable struggles, memorable side characters, and a hilarious wedding fiasco. While the answer to "Will they or won't they?" is foregone, the sass and sexual tension keep the pages turning.

      Narrator Katie Schorr's youthful, captivating voice is the perfect choice for this story of mistakes and second chances. Tyson Palmer, rising college football star, nearly lets addiction destroy a bright future. Years later, when he encounters a certain gorgeous sports commentator, he doesn't recognize her as his former tutor with whom he spent one forgotten night. Schorr uses tonal differences to effectively differentiate between characters. Her use of a subtle but spot-on Southern accent for one of the supporting characters adds a nice contrast. This feel-good story of flawed characters who overcome the odds to find love and laughter is narrated by a talented pro. A.C.P. © AudioFile 2016, Portland, Maine

      In the latest from best-selling Evanovich (The Sweet Spot, 2014), there seems to be no future for former football star Tyson Palmer. Lost in an endless fog of booze and drugs, he's nearing the bottom of a downward spiral. Just before he becomes yet another depressing fall-from-grace statistic, however, Tyson is kidnapped. And this is no ordinary abduction. The billionaire owner of the Mavericks refuses to let this expensive quarterback destroy his career and so captures Tyson and puts him through a grueling rehab and training program until he becomes the quintessential comeback kid. But happily-ever-after is never easy. Rising sports journalist Dani Carr, who had a run-in with Tyson in college, now has exclusive access to the Mavericks and harbors a secret that's about to change everything. More serious in tone than Evanovich's other books and filled with emotion, this sports romance will appeal to readers who like stories with a lot of heart.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2016, American Library Association.)
