The Sin of Kissing You

I don't deserve her forgiveness, but I can't stop fighting for it. Bay ran from me four years ago and I can't blame her. I broke her heart and my own with one split second mistake. Now we're thrown together for four weeks. Training camp after the draft is the final step to cement my pro football careers, but after seeing her again, she's the only future I want. If I were a better guy, I'd walk away and let her live her life. Maybe I haven't learned my lesson yet because I can't stop thinking about her. And I won't stop until she knows how much I still love her. The sins of my past are hard to run from, but I'll battle every single one, if it means one more chance with her. The Sin of Kissing You is the second book in the new Fulton U universe sports romance, Falling trilogy.

“The perfect beginning. The perfect story. The perfect love.
But it wasn’t ours. And no amount of wishful thinking would make that the story anyone would write about us. But as messy as our story was, it was still just that—ours.”

The Sin of Kissing You picks up where the The Art of Falling For You ended, with Bay and Keyton meeting each other four years after parting on not so good terms. This book was highly anticipated for me after reading the first installment but honestly I was slightly worried that the sequels might not live up to my expectations but Maya didn't disappoint albeit not without the angst and lots of yearning.

Bay and Keyton are meeting each other again at a time in their lives where they are at crossroads on how the rest of their future is going to go. Bay has graduated from college and is trying to decide on which accounting firm job offer to accept while also trying to come to terms with leaving music behind. Keyton has been picked up by Los Angeles' professional football team and has to go through a month of football training camp to see if he gets picked to the team for the next season. The football training camp takes place at a local college where Bay happens to work as a dormitory's assistant resident director.

In this book we find out more about Keyton and it clear that he's still haunted by his actions and he has still not properly addressed his childhood trauma. We also see more about Bay's insecurities about pursuing music as a career. 

What I particularly loved about this book was the way both Bay and Keyton's character growth is portrayed throughout the book. It's not written as a one-all-done-all-magic-wand-waving and a person is all changed and perfect that many stories seem to suffer from. Instead, we see that although Keyton has changed from the boy he was in high school, he is still struggling, refusing to address his childhood trauma. We see Bay working through her fear of commiting to music and taking a leap of faith. We see them both trying to figure out this new relationship dynamics given their history and uncertain futures.

I am fully ready and excited for the last installment, The Hate of Loving You to read more about Bay and Keyton and see how their story ends.
