Near Miss

By: Haley Warren

Narrated by: Samantha Summers, Brandon Francis

He's not sure he's ever been real. She's not sure she'll ever be whole again.

Beckett Davis has been many things: reliable, likeable, on track to be the most accurate kicker in professional football history, and multiple-time winner of made-up awards, like "pro-athlete with the most beautiful smile."

He's also spent a lifetime shouldering responsibilities that don't belong to him, but he doesn't like to think about that. Until a missed kick makes him one of the most hated people in the city and lands him doing damage control as a volunteer in his least favourite place: a hospital.

But it's where he meets her.

Greer Roberts deals in logic and absolutes. She spends her days performing surgery and staying behind carefully constructed boundaries that keep what's left of her safe, even though she's not sure how either of those things makes her feel anymore. There is one thing she's absolutely certain of, though: she doesn't date. So it doesn't matter that a downtrodden Beckett Davis ends up in the same elevator as her, and, in a moment of weakness, she invites him to volunteer with her patients.

She might see right through him, and he might understand her in a way that no one else ever has, but they're just business acquaintances.

Until they're not. And nothing scares her more than that.

I absolutely love this book. Getting to relive the story in audio was amazing. I love Greer and Beckett so much. Brandon Francis and Samantha Summers are an elite combination and truly brought these characters to life!
