The last time I saw Nevada Kane, I was seventeen and he was loading his things into the back of his truck, about to embark on a fourteen-hour drive to the only college that offered him a full ride to play basketball.
I told him I’d wait for him. He promised to do the same.
But life happened. I broke my promise long before he ever broke his. And not because I wanted to.
We never saw each other again …
Until ten years later when Nevada unexpectedly returned to our hometown after an abrupt retirement from his professional basketball career.
Suddenly he was everywhere, always staring through me with that brooding gaze, never returning my smiles or “hellos.”
Over the years, I’d heard that he’d changed. And that despite his multi-million dollar contracts and rampant success, life hadn’t been so kind to him.
He was a widower.
And a single father.
And rumor had it, he’d spent his last ten years trying to forget me, refusing to so much as breathe my name … hating me.
But just like a rebound, he’s back.
And I have to believe everything happens for a reason.

REVIEW
The Rebound is a second chance love story of young love, misunderstandings and heartbreak. Yardley Devereux and Nevada Kane thought they would be together forever. Until Nevada goes off to college and rumours of Yardley and misunderstandings destroy their young love and any friendship they ever had.
Nevada made it big playing Basket ball but when a tragic set of circumstances happens in his life he calls it quits and retires. Causing him to return home after ten years and even after all this time he's still hurt and angry at his first love.
Things are uncomfortable between Yardley and Nevada when they see each other again. Both pain and anger make it hard to move forward but the question is does the pain and anger out weigh the love they once shared?
This was a short read but i did like that we got an added bonus at the end. Which was like a Prequel to the story and gave us just that bit more into the past.
