SYNOPSIS:

“Let me experience all of you tonight, Penelope…since this is all that we get.”

That was the agreement between me and Maddox Taylor, the NFL’s most notorious playboy and mega-talented quarterback who happened to be out in California for one night—one night in which I broke all of my rules and gave in to the undeniable attraction I felt for the man.

He wooed me with dirty jokes, 80s musical references, an obsession with Steve Harvey, and a very specific piercing. How the hell was I supposed to fight that?

However, I should have listened to my gut because my reaction to him wasn’t just physical—it was more, something I hadn’t felt since the last man I let in left me all alone, and I vowed never to fall in love again.

Six weeks later, I find out I’m the new PR spokesperson for The Los Angeles Bolts football team, a team that just signed Maddox Taylor to their roster in hopes of a winning season.

With his signature cocky swagger, he corners me in my office, intent on rekindling our connection, but the tables had turned—I was now working for his team which created a conflict of interest, and put my job and both of our reputations on the line.

But that stubborn man wasn’t taking no for an answer, and before I knew it, I agreed to date him in secret even though relationships weren’t my thing.

And when Maddox had finally had enough of me refusing to open up, I was faced with a choice—do I let go of the one man that I’ve ever contemplated letting in despite the rules I’ve lived under for the past twelve years?

Or was now the time to face my demons so I could hold onto a future I didn’t know I wanted…

🎧🎧AUDIO REVIEW🎧🎧

Absolute #swoonfest!

I want to be A Lady Who Brunches! Pretty pleeeeeeeease! :) I love this group of woman (and their partners) that Harlow has created, and the audiobook experiences have been superb!

Maddox and Penelope were kismet. They might not have known it (okay, so Maddox knew lol), but they were two peas that belonged in the same pod. I absolutely LOVE every characteristic that Harlow wrote in these two characters. They were perfectly imperfect, relatable, and incredibly realistic. I loved them as individuals, but I’m pretty sure I would walk on fire for them as a couple. Their story was sexy and flirty but also deeply moving and emotional. Even now, writing these few words, I’m tearing up remembering some of the real-every-day plot points that Harlow wrote in the story … the friendship, the camaraderie, the growth, the relationship building, the absolute perfection that is Penelope & Maddox! You guys … there’s a press conference and MY HEART!!!! I’ll never be the same.

Jacob Morgan surprised me in this story. I know that sounds like I’m normally disappointed in his narrations, but not really. He just has this way of sounding very detached when he’s narrating any type of inner monologue to the point where he comes across as reading rather than narrating and GAH I get twitchy! LOL BUT, he didn’t come across that way this time, hence my surprise! Erin Mallon, of course, was utter perfection and they both elevated this story for me! Well done!
