A small town, single dad, enemies to lovers romance.
Crawling back to this small town was never in hockey star Chase Woodson’s plans.
From hitting hockey pucks in front of thousands to selling urinal pucks at his father’s hardware store, coming back home is his worst nightmare.
But being a (newly) single dad of twin boys means making sacrifices. His boys need stability and his dad needs his help in the store.
Now he needs her.
Except, Chase has been the bane of Madison Kelly’s existence since high school.
She just so happens to be the only available nanny in town.
Besides, high school was ten years ago.
People don’t hold grudges that long, right?

BLOGS REVIEW
Back Against the Wall is book one in the Lindell series. Chase and Madison both return to their hometown for different reasons and the title is perfect for the situations they find themselves in. Chase leaving hockey, raising his boys, dealing with a horrible soon to be ex-wife and moving back home to help dad, but also give the boys stability are his hurdles outside of the nanny situation. Madison returning home cause of her ex and debt is a whole nother story. She's always held her childhood crush against Chase, thus the hatred between the two. Well his hatred is different since he listened to the media and not what he knows about her. This is an enemies to lovers story and a ton of push/pull between the two. While you will love the bond between the twins and Madison, it was kinda brushed over but still doesn't deter you from the story and will still enjoy it. I think it was a good start to a new series and I am excited to see Adalynn and Cash's story in the future.
