Love, Utley is the first book from Love Letters series.
Hannah had to leave college after only a week after starting because her mother had a stroke. She went from student to working full time to support herself, her mother and later even her cousin's daughter.
She was sad that he never called but she was never mad enough to hate him. Hannah followed his football career and only forced herself to stop looking him up when he retired. She had no idea he bought the place she works at until she sees him and he had no idea she was working there until he hears her name.
Hannah and Maddox were both hurt by their past and it didn't help that neither knew the full story. They were both hurt by the other and they both tried to forget. Assumptions were made and they were wrong. Hannah and Maddox had to keep their relationship a secret but I like how they gave each other a new chance. They might have had a different kind of lives but in relationship wise they were pretty much the same. They never got over each other and they were both equally jealous about other people. Hannah had always been his and I was glad every time his possessive side showed.
I really liked groveling in this book. I didn't think Maddox was really to blame even though he could've done things differently but they only knew each other for a week. But I loved that he still wanted to apologize even after she forgave him. He cared enough about her to want to feel like he was forgiven and not just to hear the words.
I was both exited and scared af to read this book. I rarely like second chance trope but I think it was done very well in this book. Love, Utley is also a sports and office romance.
