I loved how determined he was to make things work, and he was a steady rock perfectly complementing Charli’s stormy nature. She’s the kind of heroine who fights her feelings the whole way through, and it probably would’ve been too much if Neil hadn’t been such a great guy. Neil never considered Charli a romantic option before their night in Vegas – she said she doesn’t date guys – but Charli already had her guard up against the charming player. This had light and sexy vibes throughout, with just enough angst to keep things interesting. But starting a relationship when the divorce papers are already drawn up means this couple is likely to stumble along the way. Neither one is enthusiastic about the marriage, but they agree to present a united front against Neil’s family… and soon find themselves falling.
That causes plenty of trouble for the reluctant couple, especially since Charli’s past makes her wary of the wealthy. Neil is not just a pro hockey player, he also comes from a very wealthy family – and they didn’t exactly plan ahead and get a prenup.
Their relationship started off a little rocky, and adding rings to the mix has only made things exceedingly more complicated. The story follows Neil and Charli, two professional hockey players who get hitched in Vegas.
It’s a slow burn to SIZZLE romance with some great heat in the back half, and I had no trouble enjoying this from start to finish. Neither one wanted this marriage (sober, anyways), but they make it work and grow along the way. I loved how these two start as reluctant friends before transitioning into more, and I loved how steadfast our hero is. I’m still pretty new to this series of interconnected standalones and I thought Bombshells was disappointing, so I went into this with low expectations – and was definitely pleasantly surprised. While our heroine struggles with self-doubt and a lack of trust, this hero rises to the occasion and shows that he’s worth fighting for. He’s a hot billionaire hockey player AND super sweet? Too good to be true! I found myself really loving the hero at the heart of this Vegas wedding romance.
