This hooked me right from the beginning. I read it in a day because I just couldn’t find it in me to put it down. I wanted to know what happens right away!
This brother’s best friend sports romance novel had my two favorite tropes and did not disappoint. After a break-up, Eva doesn’t want to be a 23 year old virgin anymore and asks her brother’s best friend and NHL star Ian to not only help her with dating but also to have sex with her so she’s not a virgin anymore. It isn’t supposed to be complicated and it is just supposed to be a flirty and sexy time between two people who have known each other for most of their lives.
While this book focuses heavily on the romance aspect, I found myself loving all of the characters. Ian and Eva are very likable and are clearly perfect for each other. Eva is quirky but also strong and independent. Ian pretends to be rough and guarded but has a heart of gold. However, the side characters really made this book special as well. From Eva’s friends who are fiercely loyal but are funny too, all the way to NHL players who are hot-headed but can also be sweet. It was the perfect blend to make a book balance itself out.
This book hooked me right from the beginning. It didn’t feel like I was reading a regular brother’s best friend romance book and that was a breath of fresh air. Lili Valente has outdone herself because this book is perfect for any romance novel enthusiast who likes some spice. It did not disappoint and the only thing that upset me when I read the last line was the fact that the book was done.
