In college Layla and Clay had a connection before he realized that she was his team captain's little sister. Clay eventually made a move and they started dating. When he graduated Layla broke his heart by breaking up with him, worried she would drag him down. Fast forward many years, and Layla now has a daughter, Maya, and Clay is back in the same city as her. He has never stopped loving her and is determined to win her, and Maya’s heart. 

Clay is such a wonderful guy. He waited years for Layla; for him, it would always be her. His only goal was to win back Layla and he patiently set about that, waiting for her to get to where he was. I loved how he immediately included her daughter and developed a relationship with her. Clay also challenges Layla to reach her goals, while supporting her and making her feel loved while she comes around. Layla was tough on herself and she made it difficult to love her. She spent a lot of time self-sabotaging but eventually came around to give the love she had a chance. 

There were a lot of cute and sweet moments between Clay and Layla while tackling some of the struggles both were having where they were in their lives. This book is the conclusion to the Sinners on the Ice series, so we also look at all the characters from the previous books. I had not read the prior books, but I did not feel I was lost or missing out on anything. 

These two were a cute couple and I loved seeing them become a family and being happy. If you like a sweet second-chance romance, this is a great book for you! Thank you to Grey’s PR and the author for a copy of this book. All opinions are 100% mine.
