Book Review: Love, Utley

 

Hannah

Maddox Lovelace. The captivating football player I met in college.
The one I only knew for a week. A week that was… life-changing.
Until my phone rang, and I had no choice but to go home.
I left Maddox a letter, putting my feelings on paper, giving him my number, hoping he’d call.
But he didn’t call.
He never called.
He got drafted into the professional league and lived like a king while I stayed home and struggled to stay afloat.
I may have followed his career, but now that he’s retired from football, I’ve forced myself to stop thinking about him.
And it’s okay that I won’t ever see him again. That week in college was fifteen years ago.
I’m not in love with Maddox anymore.
I might even hate him.

Maddox
Hannah Utley. The name that’s haunted me since my senior year of college.
The girl who caught my attention with her wide eyes and freckled nose.
Who spent one week twisting up my insides until she stole a piece of my heart the night we got locked inside the campus library.
The girl who disappeared without a word.
It’s the name of the girl I’ve been trying to forget for fifteen years.
And it’s the name looking up at me from the résumé in my hand.
Because Hannah Utley works for the company I just purchased.
And that makes her mine. Whether she likes it or not.

My Review

I absolutely devoured this book. It is so, so amazing. Loved every moment about it. I highlighted so many passages. S.J. knocks it out of the park again with this book. Love, Utley, Love, Maddox, and Love S.J.!

Instantly, I connected to Hannah. Love her and how she is close to her mother and niece. Which, Hannah's mom and her niece are awesome. They definitely were the stars in every scene they appeared in. 

When Maddox came to her house and shared a bed with her and then fell on the floor, I laughed. This reminded me of when my husband and I were dating, and he shared my bed. His legs were hanging off the end of the bed. 

"I kiss her like I never stopped thinking about her. And she kisses me back."

The way that Maddox still affected Hannah had me swooning. So many steamy moments shared between these two.
