Blurb<\/strong><\/h4>\n

As a female coach, I\u2019ve always lived by a simple mantra: throw hard, swing for the fences, and never, ever look back–especially when it comes to past flames.<\/p>\n

So when my ex-boyfriend somehow manages to land the job as my new assistant coach, my life is flipped upside down. The game I thought I’d mastered is now being played with a whole new set of rules.<\/p>\n

My ex is baseball’s all-star Nathan Pierce. He\u2019s tall, dark, and undeniably handsome. He’s also all too eager to spend extra hours working together while flashing that familiar devilish smirk of his that still sends my heart racing.<\/p>\n

Between playful teasing and lingering stares I discover that Nathan isn\u2019t just here to work. He\u2019s here to rewrite history. Our history.<\/p>\n

And when fate throws another curveball involving me needing a place to stay, Nathan offers up his spare bedroom, which sends me spiraling into emotions I believed had long since faded.<\/p>\n

Now I\u2019m faced with the ultimate decision: keep it professional and continue fleeing from our past, or confront it head-on by playing the game he thinks we were meant to finish together.<\/p>\n

Review<\/h4>\n

5 Butterfly Stars!<\/p>\n

Avery and Nathan had a whirlwind three month romance when they were teens. Then, in one breath it was over leaving both parties broken hearted.<\/p>\n

Nearly two decades later they are in the same town and Avery has done her best to avoid all things to do with Nathan. She is engaged and about to be married but things aren\u2019t all good in her relationship.<\/p>\n

Second chance romances are one of my favorite tropes and this story is a fantastic one. It is so well written with complex characters and an enjoyable storyline. Nathan and Avery go from first loves to heartbroken to not even friends. And then when Nathan finds himself back in town, coaching a boys baseball team with Avery, everything changes.<\/p>\n

Slowly, as they spend more time together they start to get to know each other once again. But Nathan and Avery aren\u2019t the same people they were. I loved watching them fall in love again and learning new things about each other. At their core they still have the biggest hearts. They both want the boys on the baseball team to succeed, and also want to find out if there is a place for the other in their lives.<\/p>\n

This story is a beautiful love story and I fell hard for Nathan and wanted nothing but happiness for Avery. I love that Nathan always stands up for Avery and is there for her. Depression and sadness is serious and I loved that Nathan thought about Avery and didn\u2019t want her to be alone when she was hurting.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t want to waste another day not loving you out loud.\u201d <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Avery\u2019s family was also wonderful. Her dad got her and knew just what she needed when she was at her lowest. It made my eyes mist with his unconditional love.<\/p>\n

Overall, I loved this story! It\u2019s a fantastic addition to the Problems<\/i> series and I can\u2019t wait for more!!<\/p>\n
