Arc Review✨

I really enjoyed Samara and Luca's story. Luca’s character matures quickly, stepping up to support his daughter Gia after the baby's mother hid the pregnancy from him. Samara is his child custody lawyer for the case, their banter is chefs kiss. She doesn't like him at first due to his hockey bad boy history. He is such CINNAMON ROLL energy and falls first, FAST. The vacation,wedding scenes, & final epilogue were fun. I highly recommend this book!

Trope list:
- Infertility representation
- Single dad MMC
- WOC FMC
-Reformed Playboy
-Client x Attorney
-Cinnamon Roll MMC
- Curvy girl FMC
- Fake dating
-Successful Coparenting
-Surrogacy and IVF rep
-Interracial Couple 
- He falls first

Not my favorite Windy City series book but I thought Zander's was a fun mmc. Super arrogant hockey player & shy fmc!! Cute book but third act break up was a little too long! 

Elsie does it AGAIN! I loved Rhys (mmc), this was my first time reading a book where there is a professional wrestler but I liked it more than I thought. He says "my wife" at least 100 times in the book and I ate it up EVERY TIME! I also really liked Tabby as an FMC, she's super funny! I love this series, CANNOT wait for wild card after finding out what that book trope is. 

Tropes: 
Professional Athlete MMC 
Sassy Chef FMC 
Marriage of Convenience 
"My wife" 🔥🔥

Wow... I am going to be thinking about Cam & Jordan for a long time 🥹I really enjoy how Sloane adds suspense into romance,hockey, & spice. From the beginning chapter, I was hooked on how this book will unravel with Jordan's ex fiancée and Camden supporting her after she left. Camden Teller, the man that you are!!!! Everything was just so cuteeee from the matching tattoos, the Christmas for Valentine's Day, Thanksgiving, the texts. Seeing Jordan find her voice and find friends with the other wags. Also, holy spiceeeee, SEVEN BARS. 

Tropes✨
Protective MMC 
Captain MMC 
🌶️ Lessons 
Leaving an abusive relationship fmc 
Villain era fmc

I was curious what Garrett's story was going to be since reading Praise. Happy we got to learn more about Garrett and his self discovery & his mental health. Mia was a fun FMC, she's curious, sassy, & open. Also the Garrett apology scene was HOT. 🥵🥵🥵

Adored this enemies to lovers book. Shira is a shy & quiet fmc who is widowed and trying to run her late husbands company while exploring her self. Has a one night stand from an app and they meet at a *club* where they both keep their masks on and identities private. Shira finds out she's pregnant and that Roman, the guy trying to take over her company is the father. I loved Roman as a mmc, he has big caregiver vibes. Laughed so hard at him eating her horrible cooking and not complaining. 

Tropes 
✨Accidental pregnancy 
✨enemies to lovers 
✨forced proximity 

How does Elsie Silver always write the best mmc's. Weston is the perfect book boyfriend. I loved how protective and supportive he was of Skylar day one all while protecting his kids. Skylar integrated so seamlessly into Rose Hill, the family, and the friend group. Also Ollie talking to her gahhh so cute. 

I think this is my favorite book in the series so far but each book keeps getting better and better! I love the secret baby trope and enjoyed Raleigh as a FMC. This book was so cute and spicy. Barrett is OBSESSED WITH Raleigh and Arthur, I ate up every second!!! Honestly so many great things in this book, I highly recommend to all the hockey, age gap, & secret baby trope readers. 

Enjoyed this book way more than the first. I loveddd the tension, forced proximity, and enemies to lover tropes. Rhys is a rookie NHL player who is focused on getting a long term contract with the team so doesn't like to go out and party and hook up. He uses his time to connect with a girl on followers (a cam girl website) and he realizes the girl he likes to watch on there is his neighbor and teammates wife best friend. Really enjoyed this story and it was SO spicy 🌶️ 

Love how this book blends grief, healing from a toxic relationship, and being a single mom. Madeline was such an enjoyable fmc! I loved the author addressed all of the struggles and anxieties Madeline has as a mother. Hudson is such a gentle lover. Hudson learning ASL for Lucy was soooo cute.  The group chat between the boys is always so funny. This series has the best found family moments and I really enjoy the humor of the team. Maverick being in every book and still in love with Emmy is my favorite! Loved the little Easter eggs moments setting up for the next books 
 This is by far my favorite hockey series, and I can't wait for more!

Tropes: 
Single Mom & Chef FMC
Found Family
Deaf Representation
Hockey 
MMC dealing with grief 
Forced Proximity
