Westbury Warriors Book 3:
I did read these books in order but they can potentially be read as a stand alone just keep in mind that Griz has a sister and her story is in book 2 (in a brothers best friend situation). The other characters from the series are in this book as well I enjoy when you get to follow a loveable group of friends throughout several books.
Griz is a college hockey star and while he had been playing the field while at school he is putting that on the back burner for now and taking a break from relationships after a pregnancy scare with his last relationship.
Hattie is a sweet girl (I think she is a journalism major?... don't quote me on this but she works for the school paper) who hasn't had much luck recently in the romance department, feeling insecure due to her "perfect" sister getting married soon and her sister not believing that she could actually secure a date to her wedding... maybe she can't but she would rather her sister not automatically assume that to be the case.
While Hattie is hosting the Westbury Bachelor Auction Griz comes up for bid and Hattie getting a savage text from her sister prior to going on stage about her lack of a date shouts out a bid of $1,000 making Griz highest bid of the night... now she has an upcoming date with Griz and she's unsure about actually asking him to this out of town wedding and just tells him that she wants help moving a new couch upstairs to her apartment and it looks like he could lift some heavy things. This leads to a pretty funny situation since she just spent all of her extra money on Griz and now has to find a super cheap couch to purchase.
This book was a short and sweet read with some real laugh out loud moments. I loved how Griz agreed to go out of town with Hattie to meet her family and he was really protective over her even jumping in to put her family in their place when they were being snarky towards her! Every woman wants their own Griz in their corner backing them up even if they are able to fight their own battles it's nice to have a partner.
This relationship starts out fake but sparks fly between our couple and soon lines blur as to what is fake and what is real. Can they make this relationship work? Can Griz learn to trust a woman again after he was burned in his last relationship?
Out of the 6 book series this one was my favorite, I did think it could have been a bit longer to see our couple grow together a bit more some of the book felt a bit rushed and in some ways more of a insta love/lust situation since the book takes place over a shorter period of time.
Have you read any of this series? Which book was your favorite? Have you read anything else by this author? what would you recommend?
*Sports Romance *Hockey Romance *College * Friends to more *fake dating/relationship
