Jonah Dallmann
Over two years ago, I met a woman on New Year’s Eve, and it was the best night of my life. That is until the next morning when it became the worst.
One voice message. One swerve over a double yellow line. One little girl, my niece, that’s now mine.
It hasn’t been easy, these things never are, but we’re trying. Now, I’m twenty-six, and determined to be the best wide receiver on our team, while she’s seven and spends her days reading books and dancing ballet.
Only, I haven’t just grieved the loss of my brother, but her too. My heart has ached for what could have been, and what I had to let go. I know what I did to her was wrong, unfortunately, I never had an opportunity to explain that at the time I thought I was right. But as the door opens and she steps in wearing green scrubs and a long white coat, shock ripples through me and hope that I might finally get the chance.
Sophie Black
I always wondered if this day would come, but I never expected to see him here, with her, in one of my patient rooms. He’s even better looking than I remember and giving off single dad vibes, too, as he cares for his adorable niece. A niece I didn’t know he had.
I was surprised when he asked if he could see me again, but I instantly declined. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Only now we keep running into each other, and I’m confused. Is fate throwing us a second chance, and if so, should I catch it?

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars
I could not have loved Wildflowers and Wide Receivers more!
Jonah and Sophie meet at a New Year’s Eve party hosted by mutual friends. They have an instant connection, share an amazing night together, and he leaves the next morning planning on returning later for more. But unbeknownst to Jonah, his brother and sister-in-law were killed that night, leaving him the guardian of his 5-year-old niece, Vivi. Somehow they never again cross paths until Vivi has an accident and it turns out that Sophie is the orthopedic doctor Jonah takes her to.
From there, this story evolves into a wonderful second-chance romance that also deals with the many delicate layers of grief and mourning. Jonah is such a cinnamon roll hero. I adored how gentle he was with Vivi; the death of her parents impacted them both tremendously. I also loved how affectionate he was with Sophie, not wanting to waste the second chance he’d been given with Sophie, the one that got away. He wasn’t afraid to be vulnerable or show emotion; I loved that about him.
Meanwhile, Sophie had a plan for her life and career. Reconnecting with Jonah, and falling in love with him and Vivi, definitely has her rethinking what she thought she wanted out of life. Sometimes, you have to embrace the unexpected, because it’s exactly what you need!
And then… And then… the meaning behind Wildflowers and Wide Receivers! Oh, Jonah!
I am looking forward to getting to know the rest of the Tampa Tarpon guys!
I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
