Review- Too Hard to Forget by Tessa Bailey

Summary-

This time, she's calling the shots.

Peggy Clarkson is returning to her alma mater with one goal in mind: confront Elliott Brooks, the man who ruined her for all others, and remind him of what he's been missing. Even after three years, seeing him again is like a punch in the gut, but Peggy's determined to stick to her plan. Maybe then, once she has the upper hand, she'll finally be able to move on.

In the years since Peggy left Cincinnati, Elliott has kept his focus on football. No distractions and no complications. But when Peggy walks back onto his practice field and into his life, he knows she could unravel everything in his carefully controlled world. Because the girl who was hard to forget is now a woman impossible to resist.

Review-

I had zero expectations before starting Too Hard to Forget by Tessa Bailey. The reason behind that was that we'd met Peggy, our heroine and she seemed flighty so I thought the book would be light and fluffy. Boy, was I wrong! And I couldn't be more happy about it because this book is definitely my favourite of the entire series. I think it may just be my favourite Tessa Bailey book to date because I couldn't stop thinking about it for days afterwards.

Okay, let's start with Peggy. Like I said before Peggy comes off as a flighty person, all rainbows and sunshine, that is, till you get into her head. She decides to go back to her college town for the alumni weekend because this time she has plans to get over Elliott Brooks. I LOVED Peggy. She was smart and sweet and just so so vulnerable. She tried her hardest to get over Elliott and failed. Peggy had a complex personality and she was so much more messed up than I thought.

Then we have the infamous Elliott Brooks. Elliott and Peggy had an affair three years ago. The biggest hurdle at the time though was that Elliott was the coach of the football team. Elliott thinks at the time that what Peggy and he have is completely wrong and sinful. Elliott was a hard guy to like at first. He was stoic and silent and unfeeling. At least it seemed that way until he starts thinking about Peggy. 

Peggy and Elliott have one of the best second chance romance story. They have an amazing amount of chemistry- which is to be expected from Tessa Bailey -but more than that they have an emotional bond that cannot be broken. Too Hard to Forget is such a perfect title because they both can't forget the other, no matter how many years have passed. Also, Elliott definitely comes through when needed.

Too Hard to Forget had me feeling so many things. Most of all, I was super happy for Peggy and Elliott because no two people deserved a happy ending more than them. I loved seeing Sage and Belmonte and  I can't wait for their story next. Elliott's daughter was also a great addition to the cast and definitely provided more depth to the story. Overall, I can't praise this book enough. I LOVED it!
