However, Ford’s interest is simply too much to ignore. She walks Millie carefully through her acceptance of Ford’s choices in the past, and she sets her up to move on. Through Millie’s story arc, Perry shows the power of grieving and letting go.
And this is my favorite part of this story. This is the dream of women everywhere: for a man to admit his mistakes and take action to win a heart. That he’s willing to pursue her is the antidote to Millie’s broken heart (and it makes Perry’s readers swoon too). Perry doesn’t dive deep into the angst bucket, but she provides enough of it to tug at heartstrings and draw us deeper into her story.Īdditionally, Ford’s tenacity in winning Millie’s heart is exactly what you need from a story such as Coach. Both Ford and Millie encounter this loss in different ways, but it is painful nonetheless. For as much as I pined for this book, it didn’t disappoint.įor one, Devney Perry paints the disappointment of lost love in so many shades of angst.
And her book, Coach, truly lives up to this hype.
However, given her penchant for small-town romance set in the “wilds” of Montana, it feels like a good fit. I had long awaited this story because, to date, Perry has eschewed sports romances. Add to it the wounds of a spurned love, and it becomes a 3-dimensional geometric shape of love. Tropes: second chance romance sports romance workplace romance forbidden romance single dad friends to loversĭevney Perry + Montana + Football is the perfect romance equation.
