Charlie finds herself dumped and homeless in the blink of an eye. She decided it was considered an emergency to crash at her brothers house. A series of events later and Charlie, Jace, Mateo and Roman are in quite the predicament with her brother. Amazing book with lots of spice and emotions!!!
This story definitely has you in the feels for sure! I loved it so much!!!! ๐ฉท๐ฉท๐ฉท
So our beautiful fmc is Charlotte. She is intelligent, kind, compassionate and kind of draws you in like a moth to a flame. I really liked her personality and her growth was so beautiful.
Our mmc's are Jace, Mateo and Roman. They are all best friends and team mates with Charlotte's big brother, Harrison. Jace is the definition of a grump. He is extremely serious and solely focuses on hockey. Mateo is your golden retriever, he is so happy all the time but he does have a deeper side to him once you get to know him. Roman, he is more on the quiet side for sure but cares deeply. I think Roman is my favourite, he has a more calming personality which I appreciate. Don't get me wrong, I love them all but I have a soft spot for Roman.
When Charlotte (Charlie) has no other choice, she ends up in Jace, Mateo and Roman's apartment, single and homeless. From the get-go sparks were flying amongst these 4 and they all struggle not to give in. The problem is, they all kind of want to give in but they also want to keep it a secret. The chemistry was amazing and they all suited Charlie so well. I loved how they saw Charlie for Charlie and not for everything else. Also, how cute is the relationship between Mateo and Roman. It grows into something so beautiful, I love it!

I loved this. It was funny, spicy, and pulled at my heart strings too. I finished it in one sitting, and I was sad when it ended. Poor Charlotte is just having the absolute worst day when she decides she will just use the key her brother gave her and crash at the apartment with his friends and since theyโre away they wonโt mind. Only, of course that canโt go her way either. When Jace, Mateo and Roman say that she can stay they put strict rules in place - no touching and no telling her bother, Harrison. It only takes a few days for likes to blur and secrets to add up. A bit of a wild ride, but so good!
I was fortunate enough to receive this book as an upgrade and I am absolutely thrilled with this book. This is a amazing why choose romance with drama, love and relationships. It talks about the realism of having a open relationship and I love that I could see myself as the main character as she was not only a curvy girl, but she was also a redhead as I feel that these two sorts of characters are left out a lot in book Representationโs and my goal was to read a lot more with curvy girls in it. I love that the main character had gain confidence in herself throughout the book, not only because her in a relationship, but her as a person I would recommend this book when it comes Into why choose romances
I'm not going to lie, I like my why-choose romances T H I C K. I usually prefer books under 400 pages, but when it comes to not just one, but FIVE love stories in one book, I appreciate when it is quite thick so that you get to know each character and have time to appreciate each of their relationships and then see THE why-choose relationship form.
So it was with some hesitation that I began this novel, and I'm delighted to say today that I was wrong to be afraid.
I was immersed in the universe from the 1st chapter. Charlotte is extremely endearing (in spite of or thanks to her clumsiness?) and the bonds she forms with the 3 ice hockey players make perfect sense at a time in her life when she's hitting rock bottom.
Charlotte is desperately searching for herself, in love, sexually, professionally, even physically. And see how Roman (strong, silent Roman), Mateo (spontaneous, exuberant) and Jace (her childhood crush, lifelong enemy and her brother's best friend) will help her in this quest for herself, while leaving her free to do most of the work for herself was amazing.
Honestly, these 4 characters are top tier, and even the secondary ones (her brother and her best friend wink to a future book) were interesting.
I had a great time and went through all the emotions. The spice is great and the fact that Roman and Mateo also find each other was the delicious icing on the cake.
Okay, this was a great MMFM, why choose, hockey romance. ๐๐ฎ ๐ฝ๐ง๐ค๐ฉ๐๐๐งโ๐จ ๐๐๐๐ข๐ข๐๐ฉ๐๐จ was simultaneously sweet & spicy. The spice was really spicing, friends ๐๐ผ Zero complaints. This book was so much fun. I loved the 4 MCโs, and I could really feel the special bond they shared with one another. Mateo + Roman with that book scene absolutely melted my heart ๐ฅน Honestly those two were melting my heart pretty much the entirety of the book. Jace was also impossible not to love. The man was feral and completely gone for the FMC. Such a good read! If you are a fan of Pucking Around then you will adore this book!
Now please tell me Harrison is getting a book?! I need more ๐
