Summary

“I didn’t reply. I couldn’t. Seeing this man’s naked private parts had not rendered me speechless but watching him lick ice cream off his finger had.” (June Tucker)

June Tucker doesn’t understand people. Numbers, data, and statistics? Those make sense. People? Not so much. In a town of Friday night fighters and moonshine-swilling line dancers, she’s the odd duck. And that suits her just fine. But her sister and friends are pairing off, and the change is unsettling.

George “GT” Thompson was at the top of his game — one of the best receivers in football. But a career-ending injury sidelined him for good. Now he’s hoping to find relief in the healing waters of this tiny West Virginia town. And maybe an idea of what life has in store for him next.

He doesn’t expect the no-nonsense girl at the hot spring, telling him he’s not supposed to be there. And pointing out his sizeable…equipment.

George is fascinated by June, with her head full of statistics and blunt honesty. He appreciates her in a way most others don’t. And when the local missing persons case takes a shocking turn, he’s by Scooby-June’s side as she digs for the truth.

He was her fantasy receiver. Now he’s her real-life boyfriend. But as their relationship heats up, June worries she’s not capable of the kind of intimacy he needs. He's convinced his campaign to get her out of her own head — to stop thinking and feel — will work. But his own crisis could drive them further apart.

Better than expected

I thought that Junies story might feel a bit awkward, but it was beautifully written.

Beautiful love story

I didn’t know if I would be able to get into this as I didn’t think I’d be able to handle the slow burn love story side but it was beautiful!

fantastic loved it

5*
George's (GT) football career is over due to his 2nd acl tear to his knee. Needing to get away he heads to Bootleg springs to visit his sister Shelby.
June bug has been my favourite character in this series and I couldn't wait for this book. Been a follower of football she's aware of who GT is. He's drawn to her and she's confused about her feelings. I thought the story was absolutely brilliant, I read the book when it was released but listening to the audio blew me away the narrators fetched the characters to life. I definitely recommend it.

Just perfect!

This was a Top Read 2019 for me when I read it on Kindle and I couldn't wait to listen to the audio when it released.

I've read the whole series but this is my favourite book - and that's saying something since I adore this series!

June Tucker has always known she's different but her loved ones accept her for who she is. She's a genius with numbers and stats, and says what she thinks. She doesn't have a great track record when it comes to men but it's never really bothered her. However, when her favourite fantasy football player appears in her town, there's something about him that stirs some alien feelings in her - feelings that she struggles to deal with above a clinical level.

George Thompson thought June was beautiful. Aside from her beauty, there was also something arresting about her and her manner. During their first verbal exchange, he's hooked and intrigued by her. He realises that she's different but, instead of repelling him, it draws him in. The more time he spends with her, the more he wants her. However, he realises that he needs to tread softly.

Oh, June! I adore her and I KNEW that her story would be flippin' wonderful! She's quirky, clever and wholly singular. She's funny without meaning to be (the first scene between her and George was hilarious!), socially awkward, and literal, but she has a heart of gold and a razor-sharp brain. I loved her reaction to George and her journey of sexual discovery.

George AKA GT is downright gorgeous and swoony as hell! I loved his way with June. I loved that he really saw the real her - the woman she was beneath her quirkiness. He was completely fascinated by her, and just wanted to understand her and learn about her. He made a couple of hiccups along the way, but he was so sweet and sexy with her (dance scene alert!!) that the two of them totally melted my heart. ADORED this book so much!!

Stephen Dexter and Natalie Duke did an absolutely cracking job with this story. I thought their narration was on point. Dexter is one of my favourite male narrators. He completely nailed George - his character, his humour, his good nature, and his adoration of June. Duke was amazing as the quirky June. Her vocal differentiation between June and the other female characters was very distinct and I look forward to catching up with the other audios in this series and listening to her interpretation. The two of them of them delivered humour, sexiness, emotion and tenderness brilliantly. Fabulous job!
