Publisher's summary

Rex “TW” McMurtry’s perpetual singlehood wouldn’t bother him so much if all his ex-girlfriends didn’t keep marrying the very next person they dated, especially when so many of those grooms are his closest friends. He may be a pro-football defensive end for the Chicago Squalls, but the press only wants to talk about how he’s always a groomsman and never a groom. Rex is sick of being the guy before the husband, and he’s most definitely sick of being the best man at all their weddings.

Bartender Abigail McNerny is the gal-pal, the wing-woman, the she-BFF. She’s dated. Once. And once was more than enough. Privy to all the sad stories of her customers, "contentment over commitment" is her motto, and Abby is convinced no one on earth could ever entice her into a romantic relationship...except that one guy she’s loved since preschool.

The guy who just walked into her bar.

The guy who doesn’t recognize her.

The guy who is drunk and needs a ride home.

The guy who has a proposition she should definitely refuse.

The narrator could use some work

mispronunciations are one thing, but attempting a male voice during sex scenes made me almost throw my headphones across the room. Not my genre, started off promising, "funny" things weren't funny at all. I don't know.

Very Entertaining author.

I found this author very entertaining kept me smiling through most of the book. I am going to read another book by this author to see if this is her style of writing.

Rex and Abby 💘💘💘💘

I love Joy Nash !!! Can’t get enough of Penny Reid! I love this love story and it had everything to make it a believable story!! The fact that they both were vulnerable and afraid to trust and the story creating of them both sharing and caring until they trusted each other was romantic and heart warming!

Love love love this book!

I have read almost everything by Penny Reid and this one is my newest favorite 😍. I read the actual book when it was released and finished it in two days, losing tons of sleep because I couldn’t bare to put it down. This happened again with the audio book! Rex and Abby might just be my favorite characters of all time. Can’t say enough good things ❤️ and as always, Joy brought this to life like no one else could. Perfection!!

Just started the book -will ammendment when done.

At this point in her book universe, does Penny Reid do part of her writing of the female lead with Joy Nash in mind? Because, hot damn, this pair is ABSOLUTE PERFECTION!!!

This book makes my heart squeeze in the best way!!!!

Great book and narration

I love Penny Reid and I especially love Joy Nash’s narrations of her books. I was excited to see that she did Homecoming King. I’d already read the book but I enjoyed hearing it again.

Penny Reid never fails!

First the performance: Very good. I loved the voice she used for the main male character. That’s hard to do for anyone doing the opposite of their gender. Very successful. The story is definitely a Penny story. Funny, enchanting and kind. The only thing that I didn’t really enjoy was the excess introspection of main female character. I would have enjoyed his side of the story also. No matter though. I just completely enjoyed the listen!

amazing, but I was distracted (totally my fault)

After audio-reading maybe twenty of her novels several (more than several) times, it was super nice to have the literal and figurative voice from them with a new cast. I found, however, that I was very distracted by any phrases said or character traits from the other novels. I bet there are a few people like me out there, but not a ton, so it's a pretty specific (and perhaps less likely) issue for concern.
