"I will do anything that woman asks. I'd sell my fucking soul to the devil himself if Allie told me to do it." 💙
I love a hockey romance 🏒 and this did not disappoint, it was a deliciously addictive read that I finished in one sitting.
Dean isn't just a 'bad boy turned good', the layers of his personality, reveal a vulnerability that resonates far deeper than your typical romantic hero. It's easy to write a rake's redemption, but it is written with such genuine emotional honesty that you don't just witness Dean's transformation, you feel it. Allie is far from being a simple 'good girl', she holds her own with a quiet strength that's both refreshing and compelling.
The twist that forces Dean's hand 🖤 isn't a cheap plot device; it's a crucible, forging a deeper understanding of his hidden depths, and ultimately, a more authentic connection with Allie.
The book doesn't shy away from the messy, uncomfortable parts of personal growth, and that's precisely why it's so rewarding. It's a testament to the power of vulnerability, showcasing that even the most charming rogues can find a love that transforms them from the inside out. This isn't just a story about romance; it's about the courage to rewrite your own narrative, and the beauty of finding someone who sees the potential for a better version of yourself.
