A fantastic read that has all the feels you could want!
Blake is an up and coming NHL star who had a childhood impacted by parents who showed him the worst of married life. His mother was an angry alcoholic and his friend Owen Ferguson (Fergs) was there to help him during some of the worst of it. Blake is loyal to his friend so when his best friend/roommate & teammate claims to be interested in their neighbor down the hall, Blake is determined not to pursue her himself.
Michaela is a real estate attorney who is temporarily living down the hall. She needs a plus one for a work event at the senior partner’s home. She has become casual friends with Blake, her gorgeous hockey playing neighbor who offers up his roommate as her plus one. Michaela would prefer to have Blake go with her because they have such an easy time talking for hours and get along so well.
Blake and Michaela have different outlooks on relationships and love, but end up in a very steamy romantic relationship. These two characters continue to develop and start to have much deeper feelings. As they grow in their relationship both of their insecurities and the world around them affect the choices they make.
This is a realistic and well written story. Neither of these characters are perfect and neither of them are the villain, but they have to work to find a path to their HEA. The characters and their story are engaging, entertaining and thought provoking.
I really enjoyed this story and despite the longer length of the book, it was so worth the time invested in reading it. I’ve read only a couple of books in this series and this easily reads as a standalone. Characters from the previous books appear and interact with Blake and Michaela, but the author mentions enough about them to avoid confusion or a lapse in this story.
I received an ARC from Hidden Gems and the author, and I am voluntarily leaving a review.
