Blue Lines by Toni Aleo
5.0
Lawdy! Toni Aleo writes a hockey series, true. BUT...she also writes some amazing parenting, family bonds, friendship and uh...sexual awesomeness!
Blue Lines had me at the dedication. I often skip over these, but with Aleo...I have found myself reading every single word she writes and I'm glad I did. I think her dedication was beautiful.
But, on the Erik and Piper! I know we've seen glimpses of these two throughout this series, I think that's one reason that anticipation was so great to see what happens with them. Their story is built on the foundation of a lust they have for one another. It's muddied by the fact that these two are family due to his brother being married to her sister. Harper and Jakob are going through their own issues, Shea and Ellie are still talking about baby making and we see Tate Ooooooder and his HEA as well, it makes this book extra special because the supporting cast we've fallen in love with is still around.
The fact that Erik feels unworthy because of his Amtrak worth of baggage he brought from Russia and Piper can't quite settle makes the fact that these two are facing a future together seem temporary. But, it's sort of great watching Erik figure it all out. It just sucks he has to hurt Piper to do it. And he does. And finally, she finds some staying power with something in her life. Awwww....
I love these books!
