Beth and Raph are soooo unexpected!

Honestly...I mean they're both different in a lot of ways.

I mean Beth has no trouble being a surrogate for friends Pru and Marcel...after Pru's unfortunate life circumstances. And just being a happy go lucky, charismatic person.

Raph is a bit drawn-in, after been dealt a harsh card of nonexistent two liners, and now stays away from relationships for fear of being made a fool again.

Unlikely people...meeting in the most likely of circumstances..blame it on the friends honestly haha.

And then sparks fly essentially..we have a little drama too, and some heartfelt confessions, but the rest is awesome history for sure.

Now as usual, I enjoy Elise's writing, as it was just so smooth, relatable, casual, heartfelt and tons of fun to read.

I mean the character development from that writing was just so well crafted, the demons accosting both my poor MCs, the romantic and steamy confessions, the friends, the breakers hockey family, everything was just done so well and all. Even the most difficult issues, such as mental health issue (PTSD), child abuse, survivor's guilt, trauma, grief of a parent, was truly covered beautifully and heart-warmingly without triggering anyone I believe in any way. And I am glad I got to read about a hero who was willing to support his woman through those difficult battles and come fighting on the other side. It was beautiful and my heart never felt so full.

I also connected with all the characters so much, even loved seeing the cameos from previous characters, and just loved being with all of them again.

Truly, I enjoyed being with all of them again. But I will especially enjoy it more when Cas and Jules's story is up next. Gah, I cannot wait!

Until the next read,
