The Proposal Play by Lauren Blakely
3.75
I kiss her, long, slow, deep—the kind of kiss that’s a prelude to how I want to fuck her.
3.75 stars
“Aren’t you possessive,” she says. “Don’t want anyone touching my date,” I joke, only it’s not a joke. I fucking don’t.
This was a spicy brother's best friend, and her best friend, hockey romance featuring a marriage of convenience, body paint, and bossiness. Oh, and lots of toys - the fun toys.
Maeve is pretty and charming and fucking adorable. How did I miss what’s been right in front of me?
I liked Maeve and Asher together, they had good chemistry (as most best friends to lovers do), and I once again love all the cameos from the other books
“You look like…” Mine.
I loved the relationship Ash had with his dads and Maeve had with her brother, after all the hardships both of them faced.
I already want to toss her over my shoulder and take her home. See if she looks as good in my ties, bound to her wrists, as she does in that vest.
I did have a few issues with this one, and I’ll mention one - the way Asher’s mental illness was portrayed. It could have been done really well and I would have connected with it (medical paranoia? I dunno what the diagnosis is, but he was basically constantly worried and obsessive about medical problems in those he loved. It’s probably an anxiety disorder). I loved that part but the actual emotion behind it was lacking, or a “telling not showing” issue.
Thank you to Lauren and her team for this ARC!
How could she look like anything else but mine when she’s wearing my vest?
