But, as Rex and Abby soon find out, it’s hard to keep faking feelings when the feelings are becoming oh so very real.Ībby is completely shocked (and somewhat thrilled, to be honest) when out of the blue one night at work, a blast from her past, Rex McMurty, pro-football player and heartthrob extraordinaire, walks into her bar. What’s not to love about her?! I want to be her! Also, a story featuring fake marriage, fake dating…yes, please.
She knits, sews, shops and Goodwill, and collects old quilts, for Pete’s sake.
And by ‘regular gal,’ I mean a gal whom I would love to be friends with, of course. Abby is just a regular gal, a bartender who also makes pottery to sell in her Etsy shop. It also features a celebrity character, as Rex is a famous football player. Though this book definitely has the humor and steam, it also features an unlikely fake marriage between two characters who went to K-12 school together. The story unfolds in dual POV between the two main characters, Abby McNerny and pro-football player for the Chicago Squalls, Rex “TW” McMurty. Homecoming King is a written in a bit of a different style than the typical trademark small town romance romantic comedy with steam we have all come to love from the wonder that is Penny Reid. She has also ratcheted up the angst level in this book, and let me tell you, I was here for it! Throw in the fact that this is a holiday romance, and I’m completely smitten. Penny Reid has a knack for creating unique, memorable characters. I just finished my early copy of this one yesterday, and I am still thinking about the insane chemistry between Abby and Rex.
Penny, Penny, Penny…I can’t get enough of your creative work! I would probably enjoy reading your grocery lists.
