Summary

Ava Callahan.

Love of my life.

Wrecker of my soul.

I would have sworn on anything that what we shared was real. But she broke my trust. And then my heart. I don’t think I can piece it back together without her, but I’m sure going to try. I’m better off on my own, anyway, right? Who needs girls when you have football?

If only I believed that. Look, when you need someone in your life, you don’t want to let her go. And I can’t let go of Ava. I love her. She loves me. Nothing can convince me otherwise. It’s as simple as that. I know no matter what, this girl belongs to me. We may have issues, but we’re meant to be. So I’ll do whatever it takes to get her back.

Even if I have to fight dirty.

Me and Eli had an enemies to lovers romance of our own

The way things left off in the first part of the duet, I was expecting that Eli and Ava's relationship would drag on or the book would otherwise get a bit boring or have unnecessary drama due to the length. I was pleasantly surprised that was not the case! I listened to this book a lot faster than I usually do because I was just so eager to know what happend next.

If you want a high school romance that is not too high school with pleasant narrators, the Callahans series is definitely the way to go.

Quite good, enjoyable

I got this because I wanted the end of the story between Eli and Ava. It was plotted well, kept my interest. Both are likeable characters. My grandma not reservation was that Ava did all the emotional work, Eli kept losing his temper, and it was up to her to put things right. However, he s only 17 in the book, it would possibly be unrealistic to expect more. Just hope he matured as he got older. I like how the families that the characters grow/grew up in have such an effect on them r behaviour, very true to life.

The narration is brilliant, as always.

But... nothing happened

Another catalogue of problematic behaviour and worrying attitudes (that go unchallenged) by all concerned except this time there isn't really a plot. The story didn't build to anything, the characters didn't grow or change. This scenario didn't need a second book. I can't recommend it.

Missing excitement

Nice story although it could have had a twist or two to add anticipation. The main character’s could have been a little older, it felt like the sex scenes we quite detailed and steamy for 16/17 year olds.

The best part was Teddy Hamiltons narration. I love his voice.

Brilliant follow up of Eli and Ava’s story. 👍👍👍

Although this about late teens/young adults, the themes are definitely more of an adult nature with quite graphic sex scenes.

The story was great and a good follow on from the earlier book about when they met. They have great chemistry 🔥🔥🔥and it’s themes are a pretty accurate representation of real life. I think it’s far better when authors keep it real, as not everyone is a billionaire dominant blah blah blah…..that scenario has totally been done to death😁
It’s a really enjoyable story, with twist and turns and some real LOL moments, with a good few OMG moments thrown in too. Great and authentic narration 👍
I’m really liking this authors books. Would highly recommend for a very enjoyable listen. Definitely a 5⭐️

Awesome book!!

I listened to this audio book a while ago but I never left a review and it totally deserves one. The connection between characters was enjoyable to listen too. The story was interesting from start to finish, so much so that I had to read more of monica murphy's work as she had me smiling and feeling the emotions of the characters and I so love to read a book that is capable of doing that :). Teddy hamilton and Sarah mcEwan did a great job in bringing the characters to life :)
