Reader Question… Solved! The book when they first met while she was protesting against his powerful (political?) father…

Monica is looking for this one! A bit of enemies-to-lovers and political romance stuff!!

She asks:

Can’t find the book name.

So in this book i know in the opening scene, the main girl is protesting & they main boy sees her & find her quite fascinating especially bcoz she’s protesting against his father (the boy’s family is quite powerful) & they both are aware of their instant attraction towards each other but nothing happened.

Then after few years they both meet again in college but just for once or twice (& they both remember each other & i think they slept together first time) but then the boy had to leave somewhere & then fast forward i think 10 years? (this book has lots of these time skipping thing) read more

UPDATED March 28th 2019!! Book #3 just went LIVE!!
SPORTS STAR (BASKETBALL!!) ALERT & each book in this series can be read as a standalone!! The first one starts off… forbiddeny. 😉

Cheryl: I finished Long Shot today. For a “sports” story it was angsty. Reminded me of how I felt reading Thoughtless. It does have dual POV, but I don’t think it took away from the angst. In fact, I think it added to it. …When I say felt like when reading Thoughtless, I mean the angst of love and relationships/love triangles and damn a sh!tload of complications/roadblocks to that love. read more
