Fable's brother, Owen has been suspended from this football
team. His grades are poor and until he can manage to get
them back up again, he won't be playing anytime soon. In
addition to that, their mother has returned, asking Owen for
money to buy her drugs and beer. Owen doesn't want Fable to
know that she keeps coming back to him, so he allows their
rotten mother to use him until he has nothing else to give.
To help the matters with his studies, good girl Chelsea is
hired as his tutor. Smart but inexperienced, Chelsea finds
Owen's allure to be more than she can resist. As their
tutoring sessions start off as innocent, they morphed into
something fiery as Owen and Chelsea fight this attraction to
one another.
Monica Murphy brings together these two opposites in the
fourth book of the One Week Girlfriend series. I've
enjoyed
all the books in this series. However, I think this story
might be my favourite. Owen's struggles with his mother
using him as a pawn to hurt Fable, is something that will
pull on the reader's heartstrings and make you rethink his
character. Portrayed as a dumb jock and bad boy, Murphy
reinvents Owen's character until he becomes just as
endearing and likeable as Chelsea.
The romance is a wonderful mix of sweet and sexy, exploring
the sensitive aspects of first love. Chelsea's journey is
also one that should be noted. Her past is kept relatively
hidden for most of the book. However, Murphy slowly peels
back the layers to reveal more of her character. As a
result, you get a story that is more than just a sweet
romance. You get a story about healing and redemption as
well.
FOUR YEARS LATER touches on the best and the worst of a
teenage couple's life. Both alluring and compelling, Owen
and Chelsea's story will be one readers won't ever forget.
New Adult bestselling author Monica Murphy winds up
her
sensational series with this sexy story of two college
kids
with nothing in common but a bunch of baggage and a
burning
attraction. Over. That
about sums up everything in my life. Suspended from my
college football team and forced to cut back my hours at
The
District bar because of my crappy grades, I can’t keep
turning to my sister, Fable, and her pro-football playing
husband, Drew, to bail me out. I just can’t seem to find
my
own way. Weed and sex are irresistible temptations—and
it’s
messed up that I secretly hand over money to our junkie
mom.
A tutor is the last thing I want right now—until I get a
look at her.
Chelsea is not my type at
all.
She’s smart and totally shy. I’m pretty sure she’s even a
virgin. But when she gives me the once over with those
piercing blue eyes, I’m really over. But in a
different way. I won’t deny her ass is killer, but it’s
her
brain and the way she seems to crave love—like no one’s
ever
given her any—that make me want her more than any girl
I’ve
ever met. But what would someone as seemingly together as
her ever see in a screwed up guy like me?
