Thank you so much to Brittanee Nicole for a gifted copy of this book!
This book is out now & on KU.
Guess what? Stephanie is reading another sports romance and another shocking statement, I loved it!!
This book is a hefty book coming in close to 500 pages and for some reason I just was breezing through it. I was smitten from the very start when Aiden sees his first love for the first time in a decade and then the fun begins!
As a romance reader, I love when authors use the trope of "boy obsessed" and in this one Aiden made it very clear time and time again how much Lennox meant to him. "I remember everything, Lex. When it comes to you, every detail is tattooed on my brain." Like SWOON! I highlighted so many liners that Aiden said proclaiming his love for her. There was a moment later in the book when they are living together and fake dating when he comes to their apartment as he was traveling with the hockey team just to give her a hug because she needed it. Female authors just know how to write their male characters. Lennox was so adamant on not wanting to be in a relationship but throughout the book Aiden chipped away at that wall she built up.
I have never read this author before but holy moly she can write the hell out of a sex scene! The blushing that her words caused me as I was reading. I will say though Aiden's roughness surprised me as he came off so sweet during their interactions but behind closed doors he was a whole other animal.
"I'm stupid in love with you, Lex. I always have been, There's no reason for you to ever be jealous or insecure."
I thought the author did such a great job highlighting depression for Aiden's character. I follow sports and I often think how hard it must be for these athletes to perform and that on top of any other mental illness can make life challenging. I like how Aiden opened up towards the end with his depression and started that dialogue to learn he wasn't alone.
This book is a first of a new series BUT a lot of the characters were from prior books which is explained as the characters were introduced so this does work as a stand alone for that reason. I'm anxious to see who the next book is going to be about since Aiden was the last brother to get a book.
PS - It's been awhile but there was KARAOKE featured in the book!
