“I’m sorry. I feel like we’ve turned your life into a living, breathing tornado.”

He looks at me, his brown eyes locking with mine “Thankfully, I’ve always liked storms.”

This friends to lovers and fake marriage hockey romance was SO good! I’ve been anxiously waiting for Ford Remington’s story, and it exceeded my expectations in every way.

Ford and Amber have been best friends since 2nd grade. Their meet-cute is one of the sweetest ever!

Years later, when single mom Amber is in need of minor heart surgery, Ford doesn’t hesitate to offer help. He’ll do anything for the girl he’s always loved, including marrying her so she’ll have health insurance.

They agree to stay together for two years in a platonic marriage, but the thoughts of not having Amber and her baby permanently in his life becomes more and more painful to even consider.

What I loved:
Both MCs are underdogs
Asperger’s rep
Friends to lovers
Fake marriage
He falls first and falls hard
Ford is gentle, sweet, selfless
Pink Piano Roses
Baby Nella
Ford’s adult convo with Nella
Hockey players babysitting
‘My wife’ moments
It’s always been you

This book had my heart from beginning to end. It’s romantic, cute and funny, but with so much depth and emotion.

The way Amber and Ford cared for each other was beautiful. I absolutely adored them and couldn’t help cheer for them to get a much deserved happy life together.

Betrothal or Breakaway is a solid 5 star read for me and one I definitely recommend.

This is book 3 in the D.C. Eagles Hockey series but can definitely be read as a standalone.

Many thanks to the author for an eARC!
