Contemporary Romance
Hockey Romance
Forbidden Romance
Opposites attract
This book was messy… and not in a serves the plot way. I found the writing frantic and unteathered.
I feel like the magnetic attraction from this couple in previous books was a good starting point, but TB seemed to have decided that it wasn’t enough and that she had to up the ante and make the MMC obsessive, in a red flag way, while making the FMC childlike and overly naive. There was opportunity for growth for both as individuals… that was offered and opened as a possibility… and instead the characters regressed or were handed what they wanted. It was very anticlimactic.
A side note, when did the big shots series turn into just hockey romance? I think the golf book was my favorite of the three that are in the series, so far.
Thank you NetGalley and Avon and Harper Voyager For an eARC of this book. All opinions are my own.
