College exes break all the rules when they reunite years later in this enemies-to-lovers, second-chance romance, the highly anticipated companion novel to the viral TikTok sensation The Cheat Sheet.
Nora Mackenzie's entire career lies in the hands of famous NFL tight end Derek Pender, who happens to be her extremely hot college ex-boyfriend. Nora didn't end things as gracefully as she could have back then, and now it has come back to haunt her. Derek is her first client as an official full-time sports agent, and he's holding a grudge.
Derek has set his sights on a little friendly revenge. If Nora Mackenzie, the first girl to ever break his heart, wants to be his agent, oh, he'll let her be his agent. The plan is simple: make Nora's life absolutely miserable. But if Derek knows anything about the woman he once loved—she won't quit easily.
Instead of giving in, Nora starts a scheme of her own. But then a wild night in Vegas leads to Nora and Derek in bed the next morning married. With their rule book out the window, could this new relationship save their careers and spark the romance of a lifetime?

Quirky meets grudgy
I inhaled this book in a matter of hours, unable to put it down because I just adored these characters and their circumstances. These exes from college found themselves in an agent and sportsperson situation and it was a reluctnant pairing.
Nora was an enigmatic character, full of spark and quirk with ambition in a 'man's world'. When her chance at being an agent finally came along after hard work, Derek her ex was her first client. My goodness, that man held a grudge. How Nora handled his hazing and still worked so hard for his persona was impressive.
Under all that bluff, Derek was still a goner for Nora. How the story unravelled to the scandal was such an excellent plot twist that I didn't see coming but made for excellent reading at the half way point onwards. These two had chemistry in bucketloads because they'd never really stopped caring for one another.
This was such a delightful read, it had angst, hope and tension; a great recipe for a great read. I'm now going to attack Sarah Adams' backlist, because what I have I been doing instead of reading her books?
Thank you to Headline Eternal for the review copy.
