Rosie and Nathan grew up in the same neighborhood and they use to meet in the woods, they were friends. One day Nathan announced he was moving and Rosie was devastated. Nathan was her only friend. So Nathan moved and went on to become a great football star and later the owner of a tech company. Almost twenty five years later they meet when Rosie is catering a wedding for one of his former teammates. Rosie is devastated that Nathan doesn’t remember her. Although he doesn't remember her, he is instantly attracted to her and he wants to get to know her. Thus begins the story of Rosie and Nathan. Nathan is such a great guy, he feels horrible that he didn’t remember his friend. However, he is all in with pursuing her and getting to know the woman she is now. Rosie wants to be with Nathan but her life hasn’t been as easy and glamorous as Nathan’s, and she’s not really willing to let him in. This was a wonderfully sweet, tender, sad, emotional story. I love when people reconnect and especially when the man is the one so open and welcoming and it’s the woman who is pushing him away. I’m a new fan of S. J. Tilly and I have to say so far every book I have read have been spicy, with sexy characters and amazing possessive and devoted men who will do anything for their woman. Great book a must read.
