A False Start
by Elsie Silver
I was worried about how this book would go, because we didn't get to see much of Nadia and even less of Griffin in the previous books, and their age gap when they initially meet. However, Elsie Silver did this couple justice, as usual! Nadia is such a strong girl and endured so much; I wanted her to have a happy ending and I was so amazed by the level of maturity and intelligence she displayed. Griffin is your typical gruff, mysterious, aloof grump but his secret disability makes him put his shield up when he's such a vulnerable softy with a huge heart underneath. I'm a sucker for a small town romance, and this book also has the brother's best friend trope, age gap between the couple, a heroine with a dark past and a former pro athlete hero with disability representation. At first glance, Nadia and Griffin did not seem like a match but their scars and the way they helped each other see their best sides and heal made them perfect for each other. They had electric chemistry from the start, despite Griffin saying very little. As always, Elsie Silver writes some spice that is unmatched. I also adored Stefan and Nadia's sibling relationship and the way it grew and developed throughout the last two books. I didn't want this series to end, particularly because that means I had to say goodbye to Stefan and Mira (my favorite couple and story from the series), but it was such a good way to finish the series. I also appreciated that we get to see all of the couples and their kids, and it was the perfect ending to an amazing series.
