She’s a Grinder by Tember Sapphire
5.0
Swoon-Check, Strong FMC-Check, Absolutely lovable MMC- Check, Spice- Double Check. This story has everything the pace is perfect. The connection with the characters has a natural flow due to him being her best friend’s brother.
Catherine the FMC is a strong independent woman she is career driven and is mature enough to know that with her focus on her career a relationship is not in the cards at this time. She also knows what she wants and what she deserves and won’t take anything less. Cath is also the oldest of her family and with that comes with it’s own pressures mainly to settle down and get married like her youngest sister. Which leads to her to look for a fake date for the wedding.
Tijjani the MMC is such a golden retriever so what happens to him in the beginning absolutely breaks your heart the more you learn about him and fall in love with him. He plays hockey and needs to find a new agent due to the circumstances. He also is the oldest child of his family and feels the pressures because he chose to go straight to the NHL instead of college so the scandal has his parents putting more pressure about his career. His sister Mjayy recommends he talks with Cath due to her being president of Hockey Operations at one of the top sport agencies.
Now Tijjani has always had a crush on Cath so when the opportunity arrives for the fake dating at her sisters wedding he jumps at the chance and goes all in. When I say all in I mean all in not only is it the sweetest but it is realistic the things he does for her. The chemistry between them is off the charts from the beginning she does try to resist but he makes it really hard. This was a great story I cannot wait to read more from Tember.
