Gloves Off by Stephanie Archer
4.5

Georgia and Alexei 

I really liked this one, it felt very unique compared to the other books that all seemed quite similar. The marriage of convenience trope I really liked and so thought the pacing from hate to love was done very well. All the scenes with all the guys and their partners I LOVED. Luca (the rookie Alexei was mentoring) is so funny lol, and seeing their relationship was very wholesome. 

  • marriage of convenience so she gets her inheritance and he can stay in canada 
  • not his watch telling him his heart rate increases when he around her hahahha
  • she moves into his house 
  • the team organised a surprise wedding reception for them :( that’s actually so cute. them playing wedding trivia in front of everyone and getting every answer wrong was too funny 
  • they kissed in front of everyone at the wedding reception haha
  • she snuck her 2 rabbits into his house and alexei thinks she has a secret boyfriend instead haha 
  • she sleep walks into his bed lol
  • they share a bed when they travel for a game together, she wear lingerie to tease him and she cuddles him every night in her sleep
  • he spent £100k at an auction to win a date with her because he was jealous of the other guy 
  • he made an instagram account and just followed georgia and a fan page for her outfits 
  • he drives her to soccer when her car breaks and wait until she’s done to drive her back
  • alexei is mentoring Luca (the rookie) and met his parents :(
  • alexei sent his mum to check on georgia when he was away so she wouldn’t be alone 
  • he sends a car to pick her up when hers breaks down and stays on the phone with her so she’s not alone 
  • he did research about sleepwalking for her :( she’s sleepwalking into his bed because she’s stressed about his injuries 
  • he teaches the girl’s soccer class when she’s double booked so she doesn’t have to cancel and disappoint them 
  • he buys her a new car and gets rid of her old unsafe one. they have a massive argument because he didn’t ask what she would want
  • they both go to his life time achievement award ceremony. he gets her a custom dress, hair and makeup artist 
  • alexei gets her a jersey with his name on the back
  • alexei bonding with Georgia’s rabbits is too cute
  • he organises for the soccer girls to have a skate session with the team :(
  • he wants to host the hockey guys at his with georgia 
  • he buys a pink crystal keychain that matches the big one she has in the house because it reminds him of her 
  • he gets injured in a game and she goes storming over to make sure he’s okay
  • the team’s flight back before christmas is delayed so they hire a car so they can be with their partners for christmas :(
  • he got a pair of shoes designed especially for her called The Georgia Shoes 
  • he gets knocked out at a game, he decides he can’t keep playing hockey and making her worry about his health 
  • he and retires and they live happily ever after
