Ugly Duckling To Swan
Hailey was what some would call a nerd in high school wearing glasses, overweight and not conventionally beautiful. She is asked to help tutor Nick who is the hottest guy in school and a jock – who she also has a major crush on but he doesn’t even notice her. After high school he goes on to play for the Miami Sharks football team and is very successful and it is at a party of his team mates that he meets a stunning young woman . Little does he realise that this young woman is Hailey – all grown up and a beauty for all to see. She is still insecure and doesn’t tell him who she is since he hasn’t recognised her. They go on a date and it is fantastic and the chemistry is so HOT between them that they have sex and he takes her v-card. When she then tells him who she is, he freaks out and thinks that she is stalking him! So she avoids him and he realises that he’s been a major fool. All seems to be going well for them when she realises something that will change their lives forever. But, bearing in mind his reaction to finding out her real name she is scared to tell him her secret! This is Eva Luxe and Juliana Conners continuing to be a fantastic author duo and giving us another story of the Miami Sharks football team stories. I love these two authors on their own but writing together, they are unbeatable. I loved Hailey and thought she was such a nice young woman who really didn’t need all the insecurities that she had. Nick, however, was an immature and often arrogant jerk who needed to be taken down a peg or two and appreciate the good in those around him!! By the end of the story – yes, I did like him though I still thought that Hailey could have done so much better for herself. I do encourage you to get a copy for yourself so that you can find out what Nick will do when he finds out Hailey’s secret, will they get their own HEA or are they doomed to not be together?? I received a reader’s copy of this book and voluntarily leave my honest opinion of it here.
Most Definitely Recommended – get the extended Epilogue too!
