REVIEW:
4.5 Stars
Another great book in this series. Like the others this one pulled all the emotions out of
me while reading. It's a great enemies to lovers slow burn romance. Aleks' backstory broke my heart, but to see the what found family he has created mends it. There is a good dose of drama that goes on. The twists and turns had me gasping. It's such a good story. Sofie may be a total Girl Boss, but there is a gooey side to her as well. Where this book ends up for her just made my heart feel full to bursting of happiness. Aleks has some swoon worthy moves especially when it comes to Sofie. He truly sees her and gives her the support she needs. This group is such a delight to read. I can't wait for the next book in the series.
BLURB:
Sofie- I run a media corporation. When one of my closest friends falls in love with the Bears’ golden goalie, I make their family too public to attack. Their engagement video goes viral overnight .
Savannah’s father was never in the picture. He opted out. Now he’s newly engaged to serious money and suddenly worried about how that looks. He wants to play father. A custody fight would be messy.
I make sure it looks unforgivable. Then a second clip explodes. Savannah, held by the league’s most hated defenseman. Aleks Kilovac. He doesn’t fit my system. Which makes him a problem.
Aleks- I don’t care about the media. I’m on a rooftop when Savannah ends up on my shoulders and holds on too tight. So I promise her safety. Someone posts it. The internet loses its mind.
Sofie Fairfax sees me as a problem. Good. She makes custody ugly. I make it impossible.
Sofie
I run a media corporation. Stories don’t move unless I let them.
When one of my closest friends, a new mother, falls in love with the Bears’ golden goalie, I see exactly what it can do. Not erase a threat, but make it too expensive to pursue.
Savannah’s father opted out before she was even here. Claudia was relieved. Months later, he resurfaces, newly engaged to a woman of serious wealth, suddenly concerned with how he looks. A custody fight wouldn’t be about the child. It would be about reputation, access, and proving something to the life he’s trying to buy into.
So I move first.
Their engagement goes viral because it’s real. The internet falls in love. Now, any attempt he makes to insert himself reads as opportunistic, cruel, and deeply embarrassing for the kind of man he’s pretending to be.
Then a second clip detonates everything.
Savannah, being held by the league’s most hated defenseman. Aleks Kilovac. A Russian enforcer. Foul-mouthed. Unfiltered. A man who refuses to perform, sanitize, or behave in any way.
He doesn’t fit my system.
Which makes him a problem.
Aleks
I don’t care about the media.
I’m on a friend’s rooftop watching the Thanksgiving Day Parade when Savannah ends up on my shoulders so she can see the first giant balloon float past. Her hands grip tight, like she’s afraid the world might take her if she lets go.
No kid should ever feel that.
So I tell her the truth.
“You’re too young to feel like you have to hold on, but the perfect age to learn who you can trust. Everyone here, malyshka, will make sure you can reach for the sky without you ever having to be afraid of being swept away. We got you.”
Someone posts it. The internet loses its mind.
Sofie Fairfax looks at me like I just complicated a plan she spent weeks building. Like I’m something she can’t edit clean.
Fair.
I didn’t ask to go viral. I didn’t ask to see behind the perfectly curated wall she hides behind. And I didn’t ask to see everything she’s protecting behind it.
But I have.
And my instinct, the thing that’s made me the best at what I do, has always been the same.
Defend.
