I broke her heart ten years ago and left town. She hates me, and rightly so. It doesn’t matter that the rest of the country loves me, that I’m a starting quarterback with a multimillion-dollar contract. Because when I look in the mirror, all I see is a failure who was too young—and too afraid—to fight for what I wanted. But I’m not that guy anymore, and all I need is one shot to convince her. *** He has no idea what happened after he left. And now I’m supposed to work alongside him like we don’t have this huge, messy history? But I’m older now, wiser, and I won’t let anything stand in my way of doing a good job for this league. Not even one overpaid, arrogant player who thinks we’re going to kiss and make up. News flash, buddy: I am over you.

Review Copy Provided By Author
This was a fun, quick second chance romance.
Jane and Wes were high school sweethearts. Football and distance played a big part in the demise of their relationship. 10 years later, football brings them back together in a working relationship.
I enjoyed watching Jane and Wes reconnect. From the icy first run ins, to the thaw, the resolution of old wounds, and the budding new relationship I enjoyed their interactions and dynamics.
This is not a deep dive book. We get to know bits of young Wes and Jane and see more of them as adults, but a lot of what we see and learn is fairly surface. We see Wes struggle emotionally, especially when it comes to Jane, but we don't really know the why behind his struggles. I would have liked to have known a little bit more about what was going on in Wes' head and have seen a little bit more of an emotional evolution for him.
The secondary cast in Dear Jane is smallish, but it is impactful and entertaining. I especially liked Jane's Dad and his interactions with Wes as both a coach and father. After meeting Alex, Jane's friend and Wes' teammate here, I am curious to see his story.
