DINAH
When my husband died, I never thought I would find love again.
I definitely didn’t think I would find it in the arms of my younger best friend. Why would the hunky hockey player want anything to do with me? I’m a stressed out writer with a lot of baggage. Any other man would say, “HARD PASS!”
But Noah was the best man I’ve ever known, and if it wasn’t for him, I might not be alive.
But am I ready to put my heart on the line again?
NOAH
I’ve pined for my best friend for so long, that my teammates issued an ultimatum.
“Make your move now or one of us will ask her out.”
They are just trying to push me, besides none of those jerks would ever be good enough for her. Makes me wonder if I even stand a chance.
Besides, what would a smart woman like her want with a dumb jock like me?
Get ready to meet The Philadelphia Bulldogs hockey team, in this steamy and hot standalone novel. If you love sexy sports romances and friends-to-lovers with an HEA, this book is for you! CW: This book deals with miscarriage & infertility.
MY REVIEW
Hmmmm...unfortunately, I don't have a lot of positive things to say about this story. It's a debut and it shows, but it also could be worse, so there's that. I guess the main problems I had with it are that it's rather undeveloped, and Dinah is constantly harping about Noah being younger than she is. OK, we get it, your best friend is 8 years younger. So what? It's not like he's a teenager and you're in your 60s or something. Sheesh. Dinah also spoke quite a bit younger than her actual age, so it made it hard to pin her real character down. Was she in her 30s or a barely out of her teens? The brights spot of this story are that Noah is a sweetheart, and the hockey content is really interesting and entertaining. I love hockey romances, well, sports romances of all kinds really, and sometimes the hockey content in them can be nil. Here, though, there's enough to keep the sports lover in me very satisfied.
Author BioDanica Flynn started writing at an early age, and thinks Meg Cabot's Princess Diaries series is why she loves both writing and romance books. She is a rabid hockey fan of both The Philadelphia Flyers and the Metropolitan Riveters. When not writing, she can be found hanging with her partner, playing video games, and reading a ton of books.
