    Two former college classmates who were in a relationship break all the rules when they meet again after years. Is it worth giving their old relationship a second chance? Nora starts her career as an athlete manager with her first client being her ex, Derek. For Derek, Nora was the first girl who broke his heart and he plans to take revenge. However, both have their own stubbornness and individual plans. So one day they end up in bed married after a night in Las Vegas!

    An extremely fun read for a romance in crisis, with many humorous scenes, a relationship that withstands time, rivalries, revenge, and lots of love!

    Favorite Quote:
    “We weren’t right for each other back then, but from now on, I intend to try every day to be the right one for you now.” - Derek

    You were together in college but broke up with him.
    Now he’s a successful football player and you’re a successful manager.
    Some fate with a great sense of humor has brought you back together, and you’re called to take charge of him.
    Him?
    He wants to get revenge on you!
    You?
    You’ll do everything to prove how good a professional you are.
    1 past that no one has overcome.
    1 agreement with a common interest.
    20 rules for strong players.
    Who will give in first?

    Lighthearted and funny, this book will make you have a great time and enjoy it along with the protagonists. The characters are well-written with a familiar chemistry that will make you reminisce about love and safety.
    The description is so good that the scenes play out like a movie in front of your eyes. Extra points to the author for that.
    The book conveys many beautiful and meaningful messages while the lack of toxicity in the characters creates a familiar safety, proving that love doesn’t need to have thorns.

    If I were to change anything, it would be the countless references the heroine makes to the hero's flawless appearance.
    Okay girl, we got the message… you’re being swept off your feet by the two-meter, SUPER muscular football player while I’m sleeping with his fluffy belly every night.

    I recommend it to those who want to read something light, for younger audiences because it’s an extremely romantic and PROPER book, and to those who once fell for the right person at the wrong time.
