Fable's brother, Owen has been suspended from this football team. His grades are poor and until he can manage to get them back up again, he won't be playing anytime soon. In addition to that, their mother has returned, asking Owen for money to buy her drugs and beer. Owen doesn't want Fable to know that she keeps coming back to him, so he allows their rotten mother to use him until he has nothing else to give.

To help the matters with his studies, good girl Chelsea is hired as his tutor. Smart but inexperienced, Chelsea finds Owen's allure to be more than she can resist. As their tutoring sessions start off as innocent, they morphed into something fiery as Owen and Chelsea fight this attraction to one another.

Monica Murphy brings together these two opposites in the fourth book of the One Week Girlfriend series. I've enjoyed all the books in this series. However, I think this story might be my favourite. Owen's struggles with his mother using him as a pawn to hurt Fable, is something that will pull on the reader's heartstrings and make you rethink his character. Portrayed as a dumb jock and bad boy, Murphy reinvents Owen's character until he becomes just as endearing and likeable as Chelsea.

The romance is a wonderful mix of sweet and sexy, exploring the sensitive aspects of first love. Chelsea's journey is also one that should be noted. Her past is kept relatively hidden for most of the book. However, Murphy slowly peels back the layers to reveal more of her character. As a result, you get a story that is more than just a sweet romance. You get a story about healing and redemption as well.

FOUR YEARS LATER touches on the best and the worst of a teenage couple's life. Both alluring and compelling, Owen and Chelsea's story will be one readers won't ever forget.

Book Summary

New Adult bestselling author Monica Murphy winds up her sensational series with this sexy story of two college kids with nothing in common but a bunch of baggage and a burning attraction.
 
Over. That about sums up everything in my life. Suspended from my college football team and forced to cut back my hours at The District bar because of my crappy grades, I can’t keep turning to my sister, Fable, and her pro-football playing husband, Drew, to bail me out. I just can’t seem to find my own way. Weed and sex are irresistible temptations—and it’s messed up that I secretly hand over money to our junkie mom. A tutor is the last thing I want right now—until I get a look at her.
 
Chelsea is not my type at all. She’s smart and totally shy. I’m pretty sure she’s even a virgin. But when she gives me the once over with those piercing blue eyes, I’m really over. But in a different way. I won’t deny her ass is killer, but it’s her brain and the way she seems to crave love—like no one’s ever given her any—that make me want her more than any girl I’ve ever met. But what would someone as seemingly together as her ever see in a screwed up guy like me?
