The Comeback by Ranee S. Clark: Book Review

 **ARC received for consideration. All opinions are my own. 





The Book

Eight years ago, he asked me to marry him and I said yes … then I ran.

Ava
Even so, I never dreamed we’d end up here—him hating me for the choices I made to save his career. It’s fine. I’ve moved on.

I’ve had a few bumps in the road with my rising event planning career, but running my best friend’s wedding to her pro-football fiancé will fix all of that. If I pull off the perfect wedding.

There’s one more bump I wasn’t expecting—my ex, Jett McCombs, is a groomsman, and seeing him again makes two things clear.

I still love him.

He still hates me.

Jett
The last thing I need distracting me in the middle of a championship football season is a wedding, especially not some high-profile circus. And I definitely don’t need to face the ghosts of my past and the woman that got away. The woman who gave up on us and shattered my heart.

With her in charge of the over-publicized wedding, there’s no avoiding her or the fact that I’m not as over her as I thought.

One thing I know for sure is that I can’t trust Ava with my heart ever again.

Someone just needs to tell my heart that.

This sweet second chance sports romance is inspired by Jane Austen's Persuasion.


The Author

In a house overrun by boys, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that Raneé loves football and enjoys watching (and playing!) other sports as well, like basketball and baseball. When she’s not chauffeuring three busy boys to various activities (and sometimes while she is!), Raneé is either writing, reading (usually romance), obsessing over clothes in the form of her online boutique, or figuring out how to get a Crumbl cookie in rural Wyoming. When her real-life love interest can drag her away from imaginary worlds, she doesn’t mind spending some time with him in the great outdoors that he loves.

Book Review

A sweet sports romance and a second chance at love? Yes, please! Ava and Jett drew me into their story right from the start... with two high school sweethearts heading towards forever. When the story cuts to present time, it leaves us wondering what happened between these two and hoping to see them finally get their happily ever after. Once they are reunited (in a rather hilarious way, I might add), it's like a magnet between them and as much as they try to fight it, they seem to be drawn to each other... but there are a lot of trust issues to work through! Second chance romances are one of my favorites, and I thought this one was done really well. There's an effortless chemistry between them that is hard to deny. And when he takes care of her? I just loved it. It's definitely a bit more of a slow burn, but so worth the wait. Between the sweet and the humorous moments, I found myself smiling throughout the story and I enjoyed every moment. 

The Comeback is a closed-door romance with kisses only and no language.
