Publisher Description
She never thought she’d see him again…a second chance sports romance in The Wild Men Series by USA Today Bestselling author Melissa Belle.
Sky
Colton Wild isn’t just the famous football player everyone sees on their television screen.
I met Colton one summer vacation when we lined up on opposite sides of a flag football field. He was the cocky kid with clear blue eyes and a constant smirk. When he picked me up over his shoulder and ran with me the length of the field, I wanted to hate him.
But somehow we were the last two left around the campfire that night. We talked for hours under the stars. And when he kissed me, I didn’t want him to stop.
The next morning, I left. I thought I’d never see him again.
And for ten years, I didn’t.

Sky Rosewood was the one that got away, the fiery redhead with a temper to match.
It felt like way more than a teenage crush, but what did I know back then? Plus, she gave me a fake phone number. I tried everything to find her, but it was like she’d disappeared into the ethers.
Ten years later, I’m out for my morning beach run and I crash into…Sky Rosewood, just before she gets knocked out by an errant wave. I try to be a gentleman and give her mouth to mouth, but she comes to and tells me off, her temper still intact. And so is my crush.
Except now Sky’s a woman. A beautiful woman who agrees to give me the right number this time.
I’ve got my second chance with the woman I never forgot, and there’s no way I’m letting her get away again.
Turns out I shouldn’t have been so cocky…

This book is amazing! Colton and Skylar met one night in Boulder, Colorado when she was 16 and he was 17. The next day Skylar was gone. 10 years later Skylar was getting Maxwell White’s attention, but blacked out after running into…Colton White, the boy from 10 years ago. Colton and Skylar gave each other their hearts without knowing it…this book is definitely more than just a live story, but it’s amazing!
I just couldn’t get into it
The girl is a one-note “trauma” based character. The entire story revolves around that. Personally I’ve been through real life abuse years ago. While it’s true that everyone copes differently, and everyone heals differently, I couldn’t relate to this character AT all. She was very weak and her trauma handicapped her on a daily bases. It’s supposed to be a romance book, but, the relationship was not fun, light hearted or sexy. It was a huge bummer for almost the entire book… I only read 75%. I just couldn’t do it anymore. The male character… also strange. One night with a girl.. one night. When you’re 16yo. You go on to play pro football and you only are stuck on this one girl and the minute you see her again, you’re “falling for her”. Come on. You don’t even know her. At all. His devotion to her through the whole story without having any doubts and acting like he could marry this chick after a week or two seemed very unrealistic. The story didn’t center on his life or football at all. It was all about her trauma. Nonstop. While maybe that’s what some people choose to center their lives around, being a victim, having to heal, ect. I prefer a story of a woman who maybe had faced these same adversities and maybe still runs into a few challenges with it yet was strong and real. A story where she lives out other aspects of her life that aren’t affected by trauma and the trauma isn’t brought up AT all. No one wants to live a negative life like that.. And while I realize some people do make their trauma the center of their lives… I personally don’t want to read about it. I like positive mindsets that spark joy and laughter. The female character in this book would freak out and have a panic attack every time she saw him somewhere? That’s not a Meet cute or fun banter or a swoon worthy romantic gesture. That’s extremely awkward and unhealthy. The book is named Colton. Colton should be a huge part of the story. It should talk more about football and have more dialogue with his teammates and more of a story for him.. but he’s basically just a calm, sweet, gentle, babysitter to this girls feelings and emotions for hundreds of pages. I felt sorry for him. I wanted to see him laugh or enjoy life. And the sex in the story… also laced with trauma and fear. Let’s pause to talk about my abusive dad and then start kissing again… cause that’s a huge turn on. (Sarcasm) lol.
Maybe some people want to read a book about abuse and trauma and how this person makes it her entire personality… it just wasn’t for me. I would not recommend. Sorry if the review seemed harsh. I made it 75% of the way bc I really wanted it to change or get better. It just never did.
