Leo F*cking Hernandez.
North Boston University’s star running back, notorious bachelor, and number one on my people I would murder if I could get away with it list.
And now?
He’s my new roommate.
I used to think I loved him.
But that was before I hated him.
He doesn’t remember who I am, or how he made my life miserable for years. And before I unknowingly moved across the street from him, I couldn’t have cared less. I was living my life despite him and what happened that summer, chasing my dream of becoming a tattoo artist.
“The Pit,” as the university so gracefully nicknamed the house he lives in with three other football players, has served as nothing more than a pain in my ass and a constant reminder of the boy who broke my heart. Watching him parade his one-night-stands in and out of it never helped, either.
But with rent this cheap and so close to the tattoo shop, I’ve learned to ignore him — no matter how he’s tried to get under my skin.
At least, until this summer. Because when a water and mold disaster leaves me with no choice but to vacate my house, I have nowhere to go. And Leo Hernandez offers me a deal I can’t refuse.
Live at The Pit with him and the guys, free of charge, until my landlord fixes this mess.
Ignoring him was easy when I lived across the street, but in the same house, with him shirtless half the time and watching me with his cocky grin and searing gaze? It’s impossible.
Still, I have to try. I have to push him away, even when he makes it infuriatingly difficult to do so.
He’s broken my heart once.
I won't let him do it again.

I absolutely loved Hail Mary by Kandi Steiner. This is an enemies to lovers sports romance and I devoured it. Leo and Mary “met” when they were younger until one event changed everything. Now years later, Mary hates Leo, who is now her neighbor. When she finds herself needing a place to live, she ends up living in the football house, The Pit, and is now forced to be around Leo all the time. But is he the same person he was so long ago she grew to hate?
Leo came of as arrogant and confident, but there is so much more to him then he lets others see. He is caring and protective but seems to hide that side of himself. But he wants Mary to see him. Truly see him. Mary has learned to not let others in and is determined to be who she is without regrets. But as they spend time together, they begin to see more than the other wants, but will they be able to see what is right in front of them before it’s too late?
I have loved this series so much and Leo and Mary finished it off with a bang. I loved their banter, chemistry and push and pull so much. I loved how strong and vulnerable both characters were and truly drew me in. Loved this book and series so much and highly recommend it.
