Welcome to Litsy!

This is a low pick for me. I liked the plot and the MMC. However, the FMC I didn't care for. I prefer a strong female character. 3🌟

Romance with 🌶️

Hopped on the Elle Kennedy train and it did not disappoint 🚂

With her 8th book, Rachel Reid turns to second chance romance for two early-40s hockey retirees. There‘s a ton of baggage here, packed tight with decades-old fears and mental health challenges, but the drama never feels excessive because the characters have the maturity and the perspective to really SEE each other, understand the realities they both lived with in their 20s, and consider where they might go from here. Definitely recommended.

So. There was a sale at Book Outlet. Filled in some series titles. #bookhaul.

But one book was not in the box, ☹️

And now, some hockey romance! This one‘s a bit of a departure for Reid; a second chance romance with a LOT of baggage, complicated by very recent grief. Also, both characters are in their 40s and retired from hockey. Gonna devour the back half tonight.
