When I read Icebound back at the beginning of this year, I instantly fell in love with Trapp's characterisation and writing style and was delighted that there was a second book in the works.

Icebound is about ice hockey goalie Rhode Tremblay and in that book, we meet some of his friends and teammates, one being Wyatt Patterson. Homebound is Wyatt's story as he heads back home to Texas for the summer with his daughter Vienna. He has been in love with his childhood best friend Dakota since he was eight years old but the two haven't spoken much recently after she got engaged and he found out he was going to be a single dad.

Dakota is the single greatest female main character I've ever read about. She is a bull rider and I just love everything about her. She takes no shit and is just so badass. I loved her and Wyatt's reconnection and how their romance develops throughout the book. 

When I read single dad books, my biggest pet peeve is when the child just gets forgotten about but this is not the case with Homebound. How much Dakota loves Vienna is beautiful.

The story has depth with regards to Dakota and her career and I loved the communication between Dakota and Wyatt. I absolutely fell in love with this book.
