BLURB
I never thought I would get pregnant in college.
When I did, I thought leaving Jack Jennings was doing him a giant favor—he had a bright future ahead of him as a football star—the last thing he needed was me and a baby standing in his way of his dreams.
Honestly? I figured he would eventually forget about me.
I would raise our child in secret and watch Jack on television, and the pain of what I’d done to him would heal.
The last person I expected to see on my brothers doorstep seven years later was Jack; obviously, or I wouldn’t have answered it.
A superstitious athlete, dreams were keeping him awake at night that were preventing him from excelling on the field—dreams he was hoping I could make…disappear.
He looked so good. So much older.
Kind. Handsome.
Turns out, he hadn’t forgotten about me either, and he hadn’t put our past behind him.
The ghost that has been haunting me for seven years has finally found me.
ARC REVIEW
Penelope is a single mom to a seven year old daughter, Skipper. She works hard to provide for her daughter and her daughter is everything to her. Jack is a professional football player, he has a great career. Penelope and Jack were dating in college until one day Penelope just ghosts him and they don’t see each other for seven years when he shows up on her brothers doorstep.
I enjoyed Penelope and Jack reconnecting and finding a new normal for the both of them with Skipper. But, the two of them also frustrated me so much. I felt that Penelope’s reason for running out was very, very immature (I get she was only 20), but even then it just didn’t sit right with me. Then when Jack found out what happened I wanted him to be a little more angry and make Penelope work for it a little more. He seemed to forget and forgive a little too easy for me.
Skipper was so adorable though and I absolutely loved her. She was smart, full of life and just brought so much joy to the overall story. It was great seeing her and Jack bond and form a strong connection from the start.
