![]() ![]() The humor quirked my lips, but never got me to laugh. The conflicts are mild and rather juvenile. ![]() ![]() Other issues: Its not a good sign when the most interesting folks are the side characters, from grandpa to Blaires bonkers family. But, he also contributes to the cuteness, complicit in karaoke duets and Harry Potter fandom. Thankfully, Ronan throws (occasional) F bombs instead of baby bombs. Ronan is a sexy hipster lumberjack, with plaid shirts and his own syrupy backstory of dead parents and a Scottish grandpa looking to him to save the family pub. The book opens revealing her struggle is choosing to decline her uber rich family wealth to pursue her small business dream. She speaks in baby talk, like when she says I worked my tooshie off to get here or realizes shes stepped in doggy-doo. My biggest gripe was the cuteness factor: Blaire is cuteness overdone: a blond Betty with a love of cupcakes, Harry Potter, and 60s era poodle skirts. ![]() Unfortunately, this book ended up being a rather generic, vanilla story. So, with this book dropping all the twenty something foolishness and giving us two thirty something, responsible business owners, I was hoping the author dropped the bad and kept the good ingredients and cooked up a fun enemies to lovers rom-com. Her hockey romances are more explicit, mouthier and can be funnier (hello, A Favor for a Favor or Pucked Off) but also feature a lot of casual sex, drinking, and contrived social media angst with hockey pros that can really drag the book down (hello, Pucked and A Lie for a Lie). This authors books are all over the place for me. ![]()
