Book Description: 

                       

Drake Steng had it all: a professional football career, money, and looks. Finding women wasn't a problem, having a relationship was. He thought he found true love when he was 12, but as a boy, how was he to know? He never had the courage to find out, and she slipped from his grasp. When Evie walks back into his life years later, he gets a second chance to discover true love, but are Evie and Drake fated to be together or will he lose his courage and lose her again?

Short Excerpt:

She sat at the opposite side of the bar. Her blond hair hung in a ponytail, allowing me to see the edges of a tattoo on her right shoulder blade. She was out of place. The bar didn’t have a formal dress code, but women didn’t walk through the doors unless their make-up was just so and every hair in its right place. Their clothes were low cut, tight, and revealing—very little was left to the imagination.

Her manner of dress differed. She wasn’t slovenly or dirty, but her black tank top and faded jeans didn’t match the ambiance. She wasn't wearing any make-up. She didn’t seem to be overly concerned with attracting the attention of any of the athletes either. Most of the women giggled a little too loudly, their gazes scanning desperately around the room, hoping to contact with someone famous. They always seemed to be moving too, pacing back and forth in front of whoever needed to notice them.

Review
Drake Steng felt a twinge of recognition when he saw the woman across the bar, but couldn't quite place from where.  She was unlike anyone else without an ounce of makeup and not gussied up looking for a good time.  When she came over and introduced herself, he remembered his crush from when he was 12. Not wanting to miss a chance again, Drake lets fate decide and asks her out.

Short story, I liked that it was told from Drake's point of view.  Had a surprising element to the story that I was not quite expecting but I think helped build the strength of their relationship. Fun quick read.
