Wrap Around by Rebecca Rathe
5.0

There are so many things I loved about this book. One that stands out in my mind is family. There is no one way to make a family. This book proves that those who stand by you may be blood family but others members are found along the way.

This book does have religious trauma, so if that is a trigger for you, please be mindful. The main characters come from a very religious family background. Dare I say cult? There were so many times that I felt myself tearing up because both mmcs struggled with their own sexualities.

Something I really continue to love about Rathe's books is that her characters feel so very real. They could be real people walking the streets. Their stories feel so real that you are rooting for them. You want every couple to find the love that they deserve and it was no different for Gideon and Silas. I wanted them to find their happy ending even if it was a struggle.

Second chance romance is one of my favorite troupes and this one was full of angst. This story had me wanting to scream at times and throw the book. However, that is what makes second chance so beautiful. Once they come together again, it's powerful. It means so much more and you find yourself just enjoying those precious moments they have together.

As for the spice, let's just say there is a scene in the woods that had me wide eyed and wanting to hide behind a tree to watch some more.

If you want a second chance hockey romance with SO much heart. Then I definitely recommend this one.
