Review / Release Blitz: Brawler’s Weakness (Tennessee Thunderbolts #2) by Gina Azzi

Title: Brawler's Weakness
Series: Tennessee Thunderbolts #2
Author: Gina Azzi
Genre: Contemporary Sports Romance
Release Date: July 7, 2022

BLURB
There’s only one woman I truly care about: my daughter. Until Maisy Stratford flounces into the front office of the Tennessee Thunderbolts with a heartfelt smile and a tray of baked goods.

As the Bolts’ newest hire, Maisy is optimistic, enthusiastic, and a goddess at manifestation.

Everything I’m not.

Known as Brawler, I’m a gruff, quiet, rough-around-the-edges, NHL defenseman. I haven’t dated in decades. I’ve never been married and my daughter’s a twenty-one-year-old mischief maker. I don’t know how to talk about feelings or place my trust in the hands of a woman. Even one with a heart of gold.

With my daughter Lola egging me on, I finally ask Maisy out.

But I don’t want to be her rebound; I want to be her forever. Even if I don’t know how to tell her that. Even if she’s not ready for me.

If I’m being honest, I’m not ready for her either.

MY REVIEW

Axel's the brawler on his hockey team. He was a teen father whose daughter is in her 20s now, and she wants her father with a woman deserving of him. He's long had a crush on Maisy, but the timing was never right. But now that it is, will he open up his mouth and communicate to her that he wants to go out with her?

Maisy is like so many of us women - she's got insecurities thanks to a horrific previous relationship, and it means she's hesitant to trust, to open herself up to the possibilities that dating bring. But when the broody grump with a beautiful heart, Axel, happens to her, will she let him in? Will these two ever communicate? Or are they doomed to continually stew in the void that non and mis-communication bring?

Oh these two...I was so frustrated with their non-communicative selves! But at the same time I understood. Both their pasts had left their mark on them, and made neither all that great at relationships, starting or maintaining them. I was rooting them on from the first page, though, and loved that they finally found happiness with each other.

You TV series

Wow, hubby and I watched You on Lifetime last night. It was creepy and suspenseful. Hubby likened it to Dexter , and I have to agree. Penn Badgley was on point - creepy, stalkery, but fascinating. I didn't think too much of Elizabeth Lail's acting, but I'm not sure if it was just that her character was bland, or if it was truly bad acting. Can't wait for next week!
