Demi Crawford was Magnolia Falls royalty.
I was the boxer from the wrong side of the tracks.
She was the epitome of everything good, while I was broody and rebellious.
We couldn’t be more different.
Her family was enemy number one which made her guilty by association.
I despised her before I even knew her.
It was easier that way.
But now she’d moved in next door to me, and she was everywhere I turned.
I couldn’t avoid her no matter how hard I tried.
She was beautiful and honest and sweet.
Everything I knew I shouldn’t want.
Shouldn’t need.
They say there’s a fine line between love and hate—and I don’t know when I crossed over.
I was so wrapped up in this girl I couldn’t see straight.
She was the right hook I never saw coming.
Hating her was supposed to be my end game.
Loving her… well, that was just the beginning.
But the secrets that lived between us threatened to tear us apart.
Lucky for her—I was a born fighter.
And she was definitely worth the fight.

Romeo is a boxer and small town gym owner and Demi is next door to him opening her own coffee shop. Being new neighbours Romeo already doesn’t like Demi because of her family and the past they have. With seeing her all the time he starts to realize that Demi had nothing to do with the past and just wants to truly know him, from then on, they have a wonderful chemistry that just grows from when they first meet. One of the things that I enjoyed about this was that Romeo was the one to fall first and he’s the sweetest he’s not a grump at all. Demi is one of my favourite characters with how strong and independent she is despite her family. This book got me feeling all warm an fussy, I cant wait to see who the next in the series is going to be.
