I’m her brother’s best friend, and for the past ten years, I’ve also been Addison McKenzie’s dirty little secret.
My pro-hockey player lifestyle kept me from her, but I thought we had a good thing going. Burning up the sheets whenever I visited home worked well for us.
Or so I thought.
When a season-ending injury sends me back to Starlight Cove, I find out she thinks of me as nothing more than a mistake.
She’s trying her hardest to ignore my presence, but being snowed in together is making that difficult.
So is sharing a bed.
Old habits die hard, and it’s no surprise we fall right back into each other. Undeniable chemistry was never our problem, though. Making it last in the real world was.
But I’ve been in love with Addison for years. And I have no intention of giving up on us now.
Review:
Even though their lack of (verbal and written–physically they had no problem!) communication for most of the book made me a little crazy, I really liked Addison and Chase’s story. I mean…hockey player, snowed in/there’s only one bed, and it’s always been you? What’s not to love?
(Though there is the lack of communication, as I may have already mentioned. It’s a bit excessive…though they do EVENTUALLY make up for it, so that’s all good.)
Just a warning, though–if two people taking every opportunity to jump each other’s bones (with us getting every. Single. Intimate. Detail!), even (especially?) when one of them wants to strangle the other is going to bother you, be prepared to skip pages. A LOT of pages, LOL. These two…I mean, it’s a Maine winter, what else you gonna do, I guess? 😉
Not complaining–just consider it a content warning, if you will. <3
Possessive Heart is the 5th book in the Starlight Cove series, but it did work just fine as a standalone. If you enjoyed the small-town Maine setting and the secondary characters here (her brothers and their significant others) though, you’re probably going to want to add the others to your TBR.
Rating: 4 stars / B+
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
