I really enjoyed this audiobook!
What I loved:
-The team dynamic and found family vibes of this entire standalone series is top tier!
-I loved that Helena tackled the issues of female coaches within the hockey league and calls out the double standard and expectations placed upon women in these fields.
-The sister relationship and family moments were super sweet. I liked that therapy was talked about in such a healthy way.
-Low angst, minimal if any miscommunication since both characters are older and more mature. They talk about their issues.
-The tension was so good. They like each other, have amazing chemistry, but their jobs keep them apart. The tension was amped up because they both know how they feel and what they want but try to wait.
-Roman is beyond protective and caring, and we saw that anytime he went full "family" mode for the heroine, her sisters, or his daughter.
-The way he was so soft and protective with the heroine, but more "controlling" int he bedroom (but in a soft way) was a very interesting dynamic. He is not dominating but there is definitely a vibe of he is in charge and in control where the bedroom is concerned.
I am DYING for Connor's and Flip's books. I feel like the wait might end me, but wait I shall, and the books in between will be just as great! I am excited for what was announced at the end of this one.
As always, there are great narrators, as her audiobooks are always worth a listen!

Why did this one make me so emotional?! Seeing Rhys finding a home and a family just hit me right in my feels and when he got that HEA at a the end of book has my heart bursting!
On top of that, we had the found family vibes we love in an Elsie book and the steam and fun.
Ugh, I could not have loved them more

Grief, loss, love and healing, this audiobook was fantastic!
Maren was pure sunshine and understanding, and her relationship with Ozzy was everything you love about a new romance. I loved falling in love with them!
The daughter was the cutest, and through her we see the balance of grief of balancing being a parent, are you coddling your kid or being to tough. It’s a fine line to walk.
No 3rd act breakup, but the conflict was a bit expected. However, I didn’t care because I loved how it played it and out it brought about the HEA for all.

Omg….this was emotional and yes a cried, but the HEA was so good!
Honestly, I knew this one was going to be gut wrenching based on the premise, but I wasn’t prepared. This fake dating romance was absolutely emotional. Seeing them fall in love, deal with grief, tackle the plans after college and loss was everything. It was real and authentic and beautiful.
The narrators were absolutely phenomenal as well! Definitely worth a listen!!
I’ve loved every single book in this series but this is a FAVE.

This was such a feel good, fun romance, and it really makes you believe in the "when you know, you know" moment.
Their immediate connection, leads to him stopping their wedding, and story of falling hard and fast for the one.
As always, the team dynamic is one of the many highlights of the series! The full cast of narrators is FANTASTIC! An audiobook is a must listen!

This is book one of three, and while their story is over, it wasn't a huge cliffy. It was more like a natural break in the story.
So, if you love poly romances, MFM / MMF romances, with a TON of emotion and angst and heartbreak with broken characters, then this is for you. Giana pulls the emotions all the time, and she doesn't hold back with this one.
If you are an audible listener, then grab this one! It was so good!

This was a great start to a small town series. I am already in love with the family! These brothers are something, and I am already so ready for the next book!

My favorite of the series so far! I loved the enemies vibe, but not because he hates her but because she hurt someone he cares about (a friend who is like a brother to him). He fights his attraction because of that loyalty which was such an interesting dynamic.
There was a great ASL representation with the main character, and I loved seeing the heroine shuck her life and chase her dreams. The hero does everything in his power to help her too!
A top read for sure! This couple just had that magic!

These two were beyond cute! Fake dating to avoid his awful ex and brother's best friend was so a great trope connection. I honestly loved them so much!
