I love Jordie. Not because he's hot, because he is. Not because he's burly, because he is. Not even because he's mouthy. Nope. Because he's effing hilarious. This is a very hard review to write. So many things happen and I don't want to spoil it! We know the history of Jordie and Kacey. They were involved and it was totally casual until Kacey fell in love and Jordie kicked her to the curb in a horrible way. So much has happened to him and he's a flailing mess. He either needs to get himself cleaned up and back on track or he's going to lose the only thing that's left in his life since he let Kacey go, hockey. Kacey won the Olympic gold medal and now she's come to Nashville to work for the Assasins. She's still in love with Jordie, but she also still hates him for breaking her heart. When Jordie comes back to town and is also going to be staying with her brother, Karson and his wife Lacey (Kacey's best friend), he's determined to show her that he's a new man and get her back. And, Kacey is determined to ignore Jordie until he goes away. The obstacles that they two are facing alone and together and monstrous. I was sad one minute and laughing the next. The ups and downs gave me whip lash in the best way! I loved this story. I loved seeing bearded, dirty-mouthed Jodie get his book. He and Kacey are perfect for each other. They love hockey, they love to fight and they love to make up. Lacey was an amazing secondary character in this book. She was sassy and hilarious. The bromance between Karson and Jordie lives on!
"Pursue her. Woo her!" Lacey said.
"But, please explain to me, what In the ever-loving fuck do you mean by 'woo her'?"
"Seriously, Jordie?"
"No, really, I have no clue what that is."
"We are Nashvillians now. We have to be classy Southern bitches."
Kacey glared as she swigged her tea. "Classy girls don't say classy bitches."
"This one does."
"He told Kacey she cusses a lot."
"Fucking right, she does! People that cuss are honest good people. We love Jesus, so I don't know what the problem is." Karl said.
"I can't be your friend, Kacey. I just can't."
"What? Why?"
"Because I feel too much for you, and it hurts to not have you be mine."
