"Restraint" by Mari Carr is a delightful and engaging romance novel that explores the unexpected journey to love between two seemingly opposite neighbors. The story centers on Blake, a carefree hockey player enjoying the perks of his profession, and Erika, a dedicated ER doctor with little time for nonsense. Their lives intersect in an amusing and heartwarming way when they agree to co-parent a stray puppy.
Blake's laid-back, commitment-free lifestyle is challenged by his growing feelings for Erika, who initially seems too serious and work-focused for his taste. However, as they spend more time together—whether through charity events, comforting each other during storms, or engaging in playful and intimate moments—Blake starts to realize that Erika brings out a side of him he didn't know existed.
Erika, meanwhile, finds herself drawn to Blake's infectious energy and carefree attitude, even as she struggles with the demands of her job and the complexities of her personal life. Their relationship develops organically, filled with humorous and touching moments that highlight their chemistry and deepening connection.
Mari Carr's "Restraint" is a charming narrative about the unexpected and often humorous path to finding love. The characters are well-developed and relatable, making their journey from reluctant partners to something more feel genuine and engaging.
