Look What You Made Me Do by Amy Andrews

 💖💖💖💖💖/5

Look What You Made Me Do by Amy Andrews, is a wonderful story of two damaged outcasts, who find peace and love with one another. For most of their childhood, they had to live in the shadows of their parents and were judged by the entire community, but they never judged each other

 

Ella Lucas grew up in a small town where her mother was scorned for her line of work. Growing up, Ella felt that shame, and yet she was strong enough to keep going with her kind and compassionate heart. But it made her work harder to prove herself worthy of love and acceptance. After the death of her mother, she learns she has a teen half-brother, Cam, who is now under her care. After the furneral, she wanted to shed her good girl image, so on the day of her mother's funeral she walks right up to the town bad boy and propositions him in front of everyone. Jake Prince tries to be a gentleman and put up a fight but they give in and leave with a memorable with the best one-night stand.

Two years later, they reconnect in Inverbero. She is the new principal of a failing high school and is running out of time to turn it around or it faces closing. Jake is retired from the NFL and a new bar owner. He agrees to be the head coach of a newly formed football team to help save her school. They still have great chemistry and despite Ella wanting to keep things strictly professional, their magnetic attraction keeps drawing them together. The chemistry between them was electric, and their journey through emotional hurdles was engaging and heartfelt.

It's difficult to not see how those past traumas carried into the life of Ella's brother Cam, but it was sweet to see how Jake was the male role model Cameron deserved. It was so fulfilling to see them get the happy ever after that they worked so hard for.
