Description

Paul Tanner and Nicky Newman were two of the most highly recruited Point Guards in the country for Division II Basketball. New Coach at the ‘U’ Bob Barrows built his whole program around them. Everything was going fine and the team was on track to become one of the greatest ever in the region until Paul let fame and the attention

go right to his head. He partied hardy, drank, did drugs and had many women but mostly didn’t remember what happened once he started down that dark path.

He and Nicky became brothers that first year and even lectures and pleas from Nicky didn’t help straighten him out. Paul knew Nicky was hurting too—watching him destroy his life like that. Nicky lost his only brother the same way and feared the same would happen to Paul. Nicky felt he just couldn’t bury another brother.

Until….Paul met Maggie Sardo. He didn’t want to fall in love with her and knew she would hate his friends and bad habits but he just couldn’t help himself. He knew the only way he could be with her was if he changed his life around and was Nicky ever so happy he had someone to help him save Paul.

Somehow your past always finds you as in this story. Paul tried to live a good life but it always seemed to haunt him—even years later. This story is about tragedy, hope, kindness, friendships and most of all love.

Featured Reviews

First, I really appreciated being able to review this book months prior to it's release! I loved Paul and Maggie's relationship. I thought this was well written and captures their relationship in its entirety. This was one of the better romances I've read in a while. I've been recommending this book quite a bit and I plan on continuing to help The Madness of March succeed!

Absolutely fantastic story about love, friendship, the college experience and basketball. Paul and Nicky are basketball stars of the team. Paul meets a girl that introduces him to drugs. Nicky is concerned he is headed in the wrong direction. Then Paul meets Maggie and everything changes. She is the love of his life, yet Paul fears his previous choices will cause her to leave him.
This was well written and a fast read!
Thank you Netgalley for complimentary copy.
Highly recommended
