Oh Dallas, you sweet lil’ softie….I love you, so!
Having secretly pined for,and devotedly jumped through hoops to gain the admiration and attention of Hemi for years, Dallas finally shoots his shot.
After a few missteps in years past, Dallas and Wilhemina rely on each other to get through what is sure to be a brutally uncomfortable, High School reunion.
Hemi’s high school frenemy-turned-nemesis is back to her old antics of jealousy, and pettiness.
All Hemi wants is to show up and DAZZLE her former tormentors with how amazing her career, and love-life is…hopefully with a hot date in tow.
Enter: Dallas
Despite knowing one another for their entire lives, these two have always allowed hurt feelings and miscommunications to drive a wedge between them. When Dallas sees an opportunity to come to Hemi’s rescue, He jumps at the chance to right past wrongs, and hopes to finally allow her to see just how much he adores and admires her….
Fake boyfriend/fiancé to the rescue!
Dallas is such a lovable, affable character, and I enjoyed all of his hilarious antics immensely.
Hemi took a little bit of warming up to for me.
Even though she is a Spitfire and capable boss-babe (which I loved), at times she seemed unnecessarily mean to Dallas.
At their age, it seems like high school party fouls would be long forgiven and forgotten, but since that is the entire premise of this book, I looked past my prejudice at her immaturity and tried to understand that it was still negatively affecting her.
I loved how patient Dallas was with her, and that he went the extra mile with her friends and each individual family member of hers, to show just how special she was to him, and how much regretted his past decisions.
Moving forward with love and respect was at the forefront of his mind, and that was conveyed perfectly.
The friendships between the Toronto Terror hockey team, and their respective ladies, will always be the best part of this series. I love their family and team camaraderie.
Overall, this was such a feel-good book, and a welcome addition to the collection. I am looking forward to the next in the series!
