WOW! That was amazing!

This book made me so happy. One of my top reads of the year. I couldn’t put it down. I love the characters so much. Their romance is fantastic. I want to hug both of them because they’re both so amazing and sweet.

Ryan is a giant hockey player enforcer but it really a cinnamon roll teddy bear who suffers from severe anxiety. Fabian is a musician who enjoys being pretty — wearing eyeshadow, lacey clothes, the works. The description is kind of misleading, as it’s more of a “second chance after a missed opportunity” book. They both like each other right from the start and things move pretty quickly — and given their history and compatibility, it feels perfect.

I adore this book. You can read it as a stand alone. It’s so, so good!
