It was definitely a friends to lovers slow burn in the best way. I loved watching Rex and Abby fall for one another. I was curious to see what would happen with these two and when I realized this was a marriage of convince/fake dating book I was so thrilled. Abby was burned by an ex a long time a go and isn't interested in dating, even though she's always had a thing for Rex. Rex has a reputation for being the guy girls date before they settle down with the love of their lives. Not just because of her crush, he's also a professional football player. Rex doesn't recall who Abby is but she could't forget him if she tried. Now, a decade after they've graduated high school, they run in to each other. They went to school together and Abby had the biggest crush on Rex. Penny Reid really delivered with Homecoming King.Ībby and Rex meet at the bar Abby works at, but that's not where their story begins. I was feeling myself falling into a bit of a book slump with my last two reads, but this pulled me right out of it. My goodness, I don't think I could have loved this book more. Rex and Abby are here!Īre you a blogger? Here's the blog tour info:

I hope you've prepared for shenanigans and tomfoolery. It's here! Today is the day! Homecoming King is ALIVE all across the internets. The guy who has a proposition she should definitely refuse. The guy who is drunk and needs a ride home.

except that one guy she’s loved since preschool. Privy to all the sad stories of her customers, ‘contentment over commitment’ is her motto, and Abby is convinced no one on earth could ever entice her into a romantic relationship. Rex is sick of being the guy before the husband, and he’s most definitely sick of being the best man at all their weddings.īartender Abigail McNerny is the gal-pal, the wing-woman, the she-BFF. He may be a pro-football defensive end for the Chicago Squalls, but the press only wants to talk about how he's always a groomsman and never a groom. Rex 'TW' McMurtry’s perpetual single-hood wouldn't bother him so much if all his ex-girlfriends didn't keep marrying the very next person they dated, especially when so many of those grooms are his closest friends.
