Intercepted by Emma Hart
5.0

I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

HOLY COW. If you thought Corey and Jack were sexy, then you are going to LOVE Reid. We met Reid in the previous books and we didn't know too much about him other than he was a teammate and a devoted dad. Well know we know he is a ridiculously sexy, dirty talking, funny, loving, devoted dad. JACKPOT! I am definitely on Team Reid...sorry Corey and Jack.

I think Leo was my favorite character in this book. Holy crap that kid was hilarious. He is a precocious 7 year old who will have you wrapped around his finger the minute you meet him. He made me laugh out loud multiple times throughout the book. I also LOVED the relationship between him and Reid. Despite being a professional football player who is away a lot, Reid is doing a fantastic job of raising Leo. It also helps that he has the support of his mother and his teammates and they help out whenever they can.

Reid and Everleigh. These two are an amazing couple. The two of them were friends during their teen years and while they are the same people they knew all those years ago, they have also changed a lot. And then you add in Leo and you have an amazing trio.

There are two subplots in this book. One involving Everleigh's ex and another involving Reid's ex, Leo's mom. They both served their purposes, but I think the one with Reid's ex was way more important to the story. It forced Everleigh to fall into the "mom" role very quickly. It was unexpected and Everleigh did it without even realizing it. She became part of their family without any questions asked. But Leo is basically a mini Reid so it inevitable that she would love Leo and treat him as her own.

I was actually quite surprised at how quickly Reid just came out and was like "I love you...I've always loved you." Then again, he was a man who knew what he wanted and that was Everleigh. Despite his circumstances, he didn't want to wait another second.

This was a great way to end the series. Like in the other books, we get to see all the characters. Jack and Corey are there being smartasses while Leah and Macey are there to keep them in line. And it turns out that Leah and Everleigh are old friends so we even get some crazy girl time. I'm gonna miss these guys. Thank god I can just open my e-reader and read their books anytime I want!
