Warm, light-hearted fluff for those times when you just want a book to cuddle up with.

J'étais pleine de joie à l'idée de retrouver la plume de Briar Prescott et découvrir un nouveau couple, seulement, mes attentes n'ont pas vraiment été comblées. Alors oui, on est dans le registre du slow burn, c'est bien mignon, et c'est également plutôt drôle, comme souvent chez cette autrice. Les dialogues sont réussis, et les répliques d'Anders bien souvent percutantes, car ce type est un vrai dork, il a un humour à 2 balles, il est assez sarcastique et vache avec lui-même, mais il m'a fait rire.
Ce que je trouve dommage, c'est que la phase d'antagonisme ne dure pas plus longtemps, car je trouvais ça assez savoureux et piquant. La transition entre le début où ils se parlent à peine et se fusillent du regard et la suite où ils sont très complices est trop abrupte, et par la suite, l'autrice nous dit/ beaucoup de choses, à travers la voix de ses personnages, mais elle ne le montre pas assez à mon goût, et c'est le genre de procédé narratif que je n'aime pas, car cela génère chez moi de la frustration et un goût d'inachevé. Je regrette aussi le coup du manque de communication qui génère un fossé entre les deux hommes, là aussi, c'est typiquement le genre de ressort narratif qui m'agace beaucoup. Je comprends leurs raisons de ne pas se dire les choses franchement, pour autant, je n'aime pas retrouver ce type de rebondissement là.
Au final, ça reste un petit M/M sympa, mais je n'y ai pas trouvé le même attrait que pour les deux premiers tomes ... Et cela ne m'empêchera pas de lire la suite, car je suis curieuse de voir ce que les deux futurs héros nous réservent ...

Very sweet! I personally loved how Wells went from angry and feeling sorry for himself for his accident to happy and willing to move on because of the time he spent with Anders.
I'm still a little unsure why Max suddenly decided that Wells was the perfect person to coach Anders for his triathlon but I can accept that as a simple concession on getting them to meet.
Anders was hilarious, especially with how he interacted with his siblings!
I kind of wish we got more drama from Anders though since we got Wells dealing with his amputated leg and loss of hockey. Something like Anders' mother coming back or whatever would've been an amazing chance for Wells to emotionally support Anders like Anders had done for him.
Also the final triathlon didn't seem to get enough coverage for how pivotal a moment it was. Multiple people were supposedly spread out across the race, but we only ever got to see Isac and Cassi. It would've been really cute if all of their friends were carrying hints that Wells was going to do something special (proposal might be too soon, but something big would've been a great emotional payoff)
Was still a good read though. Will definitely read the next one to see what the heck is up with Isac and Max.

An excellent addition to the series!
I giggled and highlighted this one all the way through. I loved Anders and his lack of filter, and it was great to see Wells open up and become less grumpy. Both of them suffered from a lack of confidence in different ways, which almost came between them, but luckily any stupidity didn’t last too long.

Such a beautiful story. Anders is just pure joy and deserves nothing but the beat. Wells is trying to accept a different life than he ever wanted from an accident that changed everything. These two were made for each other to bring each other up and show how good they can be for one another.
Please Briar write a Max and Isac story I need that in my life
