While the world is ravaged by a global pandemic, hotshot NFL running back Evan Sparks is locked in his own personal hell. With a career-ending scandal on his back, Evan hides out in his best friend’s empty San Francisco home, the full city shutdown locking him in a lonely twenty-story apartment in the sky.
Romance writer Sadie Walsh is having the worst case of writer’s block ever…until the incredible, muscular stranger staying next door gets her muse going strong. The pair of loners, never expecting to find a friend in all the madness, meet each day out on their balconies like a modern-day Romeo and Juliet.
Each new day brings unique challenges for the pair as they navigate the unknown and find solace together. They quickly figure out that as long as they have one another, they can handle anything.
Even falling in love under quarantine.

Considering what the world is currently going through this read is relatable to all of us. I really enjoyed getting to know both Sadie and Evan, and felling their emotions through these pages. They were frustrated, but had one another to share that with and the connection between them grew steadily over the few weeks since they met one another.
I liked how forward Sadie was and often didn't have a filter. She said exactly what she wanted, which often lead to amusing situations. She was very serious about the Covid situation and was a stickler for rules, which was why it took a long time for her and Evan to get together.
Evan was hiding out as a scandal was sending his career into a nose dive. He hadn't had a serious relationship before so wasn't expecting to build such a strong connection with the hottie next door. Although they were from different kinds of worlds, they had a lot in common and complemented one another perfectly.
I enjoyed the way the tackled all the issues throughout the story: Covid 19, the scandal, the distance between them and the ever building chemistry. Kylie Scott & Audrey Carlan did a fantastic job at creating the characters and putting them in a world we are all stuck in. I really hope we get to see more of their work together in the future.
This had a slow build and everything was leading to this moment when they could finally touch one another...
“You are the most perfect creature,” he says. “I feel honored to be holding you close, feeling your breath against my neck. I don’t know how to explain it…”
“Meant to be.”

“I never even believed in the insta-love stories. This is so completely unexpected,” I whisper.
“But good.”
“Amazingly so. Kiss me.” I nudge his nose with mine, wanting—needing—to have him make the first move.
“My pleasure. My Sadie.” He murmurs against my lips until his fingers sift into my hair and grip the back of my head while he takes my mouth in a searing kiss.
