4.0

An age-gap romance with all the feels. We also get a bit of opposites attract with Garrick and Rain because they certainly make for an unlikely pair. Nevertheless, the chemistry is there in spades, and these two make good use of it. I liked Garrick in the first book in the Hotshots series, and I figured he was going to get me right in the heart with his circumstances, and boy, did he ever. Then we have the fun-loving Rain, who just fits perfectly into Garrick's well-ordered life whether he's ready or not. The only drawback was that the angst comes from one of my least favorite things, and I really wanted to shake both of them, but they're both just so darn lovable that it wasn't that big a deal to me. As I mentioned, this is the second in a series, and while this one technically picks up a bit after the events in the first book, the author gives us what we need to know so that Garrick and Rain's story can be read as a standalone. That said, once you start meeting these characters, you'll want to know the rest.
