A review by elle_lit_zabeth
My Brother's Teammates by Lasairona McMaster, Melissa Ivers

5.0

I'm not going to lie, I like my why-choose romances T H I C K. I usually prefer books under 400 pages, but when it comes to not just one, but FIVE love stories in one book, I appreciate when it is quite thick so that you get to know each character and have time to appreciate each of their relationships and then see THE why-choose relationship form.

So it was with some hesitation that I began this novel, and I'm delighted to say today that I was wrong to be afraid.

I was immersed in the universe from the 1st chapter. Charlotte is extremely endearing (in spite of or thanks to her clumsiness?) and the bonds she forms with the 3 ice hockey players make perfect sense at a time in her life when she's hitting rock bottom.

Charlotte is desperately searching for herself, in love, sexually, professionally, even physically. And see how Roman (strong, silent Roman), Mateo (spontaneous, exuberant) and Jace (her childhood crush, lifelong enemy and her brother's best friend) will help her in this quest for herself, while leaving her free to do most of the work for herself was amazing.

Honestly, these 4 characters are top tier, and even the secondary ones (her brother and her best friend wink to a future book) were interesting.

I had a great time and went through all the emotions. The spice is great and the fact that Roman and Mateo also find each other was the delicious icing on the cake.
