Ladies and gentlemen, the cover is tame to its content.
I'm still blushing.
Tropes:
Enemies to lovers
Best friends little sister
Forbidden love
Forced proximity
Opposites attract
Bad boy, good girl
Pro Hockey
Spicy
Right from the beginning, it's clear that Rix and Tristian hate each other. They cant stand each other, but boy, there's tension around them. So palpable that I could even see and feel it while reading. There's a lot of hot scenes and the spice it's on a very good level. I love it, and it's clearly relatable.
I like how different Rix and Tristan are from one another in their personality and how they involve as human beings, and by both POVs, it makes it easier to look into their heads and hearts.
It's a great story with the one and other twist. I'm stuck with them in my head and with a very knowable bookhangover. It's like I am not ready to leave and lose them right now. I think they're so brilliantly and deeply written, which makes them so close and relatable to me that it is not only their deepness but also their evolution along the story. In the end, they've learned their lessons and could be better people than on their start. I love it from the beginning till the end.
Conclusion
An amazing love story with relatable characters that you'll fall in love with. It's a story about hate to love. A story with a whole package of unsolved problems that, along the story, get the protas into one ore another problem solving kind of hot scenes. The spice in this one is totally amazing.
5/5 stars
Audiobook:
CJ Bloom and Connor Crais narrate this story. I love how they give life to Beatrix and Tristian. It's easy to follow (even for a non native English speaker). I truly felt more connected to the characters through their voices. So this is a strong recommendation.
The book
My new roommates are two pro hockey players.
First, my manwhore older brother, and second, his seriously hot best friend (who I seriously hate).
This was a last resort.
No one should be sleeping on a futon that smells like Cheetos and ball sweat.
But here I am, trying to get my life together.
Tristan Stiles is the bane of my existence.
He never wears a shirt.
We cant seem to stop fighting.
Hes an arrogant playboy with a filthy reputation.
Sure, I had a crush on him when I was fourteen, but that was a long time ago.
I know better than to trust him.
I just need to survive long enough to find a new job and get a new place.
And not accidentally let Tristan rail me into next week.
