Review by: Stacey
I love second chance romances and Noah & Peyton have thee best story! They grew up together as family friends, 5 years apart and most thought it was a brother sister thing but they both loved each other since they can remember. But Life took Noah to Pro Football and Peyton off to college but when a tragedy happens they both find themselves in a different life. One if fighter for their life while the other has so many regrets and what if’s. The whole story I was rooting for them but Noah is in a relationship with Dessie and Peyton is dating or starts to start something with Kyle.
But is their love meant to be and can they both find their way back to make their dreams come true or is it time to say goodbye and one loses their life????
Take the time to dive into to this amazing love story by Heidi!!! You won’t be able to put it down!
5 Stars

I forgot how much I loved Heidi McLaughlin's stories! I'll be honest, I haven't read this whole series. I've read Liam's story....aaaand that's where I left off. I was worried that I'd be lost in this story, the story of the kids from Beaumont, but I wasn't.
Noah and Peyton have been friends for as long as they can remember basically. Best friends forever and all that jazz, they're like brother and sister right? That's what everyone says but now exactly how they feel. Only they don't know that each other feels the same.
Angst. Lots of angst and frustration. It all eventually builds up. Just when they think they're ready, another stumbling block gets in the way. I could t believe how lost I was in the story. I was completely immersed back into this world that I remember loving so much. Thank goodness I have the other books so that I can dive into those as well. I'm not ready to let them go!

The road for Noah Westbury has been carved out for him, long before he knew who his father was. Making sure he worked hard to deserve the opportunities provided to him, Noah is exactly where he dreamed of being - starting QB for Portland Pioneers. Together with a Victoria Secret's model girlfriend by his side, life couldn't get much better. Except for the fact that standing in his path is Peyton Powell-James, his life-long friend and the one woman he can never have.
Peyton Powell-James always knew her future would be in football and dreams of having a successful sports journalism career once she graduates college. After being given an assignment to cover a professional game from the sidelines, Peyton believes that everything is going to plan, until one fateful night changes her life.
Harsh reality sets in for Noah and Peyton. One could lose everything, while the other one struggles to keep the families together.
Kyle Zimmerman, one of the top-rated quarterbacks in the league, and Chicago’s most eligible bachelor is holding my hand as he guides me to his car. The schoolgirl in me is trying not to let his presence affect me, at least not on the outside. On the inside, though, I’m all a ball of nerves mixed with excitement. Who would’ve thought a simple assignment would turn into a date? Not me. Not in a million years, but here I am, being helped into his car and anxiously waiting for him to get behind the steering wheel.
And once he does, the sweet scent of his cologne fills the small space. I find myself leaning a bit closer to him so I can inhale deeply without looking like a creeper. Kyle smiles. It’s an ear-to-ear grin with a slight chuckle. I’ve been caught, but he doesn’t seem to care. He leans forward, pulling himself away from me. It’s probably best. We’ve just met and if he kissed me now, I don’t know what I would do.
“Tell me about yourself, Peyton.”
“I’m majoring in broadcast journalism. I love football. I’m a twin.”
“Is your twin as pretty as you?”
“Prettier,” I tell him.
“Impossible,” he replies, never breaking eye contact with me. “What do you know about me?”
“Everything, yet nothing. Your rookie year, you sat on the bench but started your second year. You threw sixteen touchdowns, eleven interceptions and accumulated 3,440 yards. Your completion rate was fifty-eight percent. This year, you’re pushing seventy percent and in line to win the league MVP. You’ve thrown for almost 4,500 yards, twenty-five touchdowns and four interceptions.”
Kyle’s eyes widen as his mouth drops open. “Wow, you had to go and bring up my first year, huh?”
I shrug. “You asked, but …”
