Theodore Edward Sims was supposed to be my hot summer hook-up, a stranger I slept with in Hawaii. Now, he's my stepbrother's new hockey teammate.
When we met, Theo was a sexy surfer in Maui, riding waves by day and rocking my world at night. After being played for a fool by my ex-fiancé, Theo proved to be a source of instant gratification.
He was refreshingly honest, engaging, and incredibly charming. Theo built me up when it felt like my world was crumbling down.
Turns out, he's just like my ex. A liar.
To avoid the gossip of my failed engagement, I hightail it to Boston, where I'm forced to cross paths with a new version of Theo, aka Eddie Sims, Boston Hawks right wing. Here, he isn't the well-connected, alluring surfer but a determined, angry hockey hunk with something to prove. Especially to me.
Except I've written him off. Once a liar, always a liar.
But Theo isn't backing down. Instead, he's hustling for my forgiveness. If I give him another chance, will he live up to his apologies? Or am I just lying to myself?
REVIEW
Rating: ☆☆☆☆
Sophie uprooted her life for her fiancé, moving across country for his job. But when he discovers that she has been keeping a secret about her father, he drops her quicker than a hot potato. Unfortunately as she works for his family business she loses her job as well. When she meets Theo he is just what she needs to distract her but when she discovers that Theo is in fact Eddie, hockey player with a reputation she quickly leaves as she can't abide liars.
Their paths cross again when Sophie moves with her step-brother when he joins the Boston Hawks, Theo is determined to not let her slip through his fingers again and steps up his efforts. Not having the best reputation in the previous book of this series, it would take a lot to redeem him but it turns out that he is an incredible man. He just took a wrong turn but is back on the right path now. He is compassionate, funny, kind, generous, loving, patient, and determined. This is just what Sophie needs as she has been through a huge amount in her life and she is about to face some more challenges.
This was another great read and Gina Azzi did a fantastic job of changing the narrative on Theo.
