There’s no one more off limits than my best friend’s daughter.
Peggy Aurora Hammerstein. The Toronto Terror’s unofficial team princess. I would never do anything to mess with our team dynamics this late into the hockey season, but seeing her work in the front office changed something for me.
I see her as she is now: a powerful woman with ambition for miles.
When I hold her against me, she fits perfectly.
Her little flirts and taunts push my buttons, if she doesn’t stop–my control just might break.
But I can never cross that line. I can never know what it could be to call her mine.
I’ve never wanted anyone more than Aurora and no one can ever know.
*This is Hollis Hendrix’s standalone novel. If you want to meet Hollis before you read this book, check out If You Hate Me, Rix and Tristan’s story.
Hollis and Aurora have been friends for years, but she’s recently caught his eye in a whole new way. The team’s princess is all grown up now and she’s not a kid anymore, which he can’t help noticing, over and over, whenever she’s close. This is really bad for Hollis because if the age gap isn’t enough to dissuade him, he just has to remember that she is his best friend’s daughter. There’s no question Aurora is off-limits in every way, or so he tells himself.
Aurora has had a crush on Hollis forever, but she knows nothing will ever happen between them. He’s thirteen years older and her dad’s best friend after all, so there can never be anything between them. But no matter how many times she tries to convince herself nothing can happen; she’s eventually forced to admit that she just doesn’t accept it. Who says they can’t explore this? After all, they’re both adults so there’s nothing inappropriate about it. The whole best-friend’s daughter thing is a big sticking point for Hollis though, so he tries so hard to resist, but he’s only a man and Aurora is hell-bent on seeing him surrender to the heat between them.
I fell for these characters right away. This is funny and sweet with a touch of angst and a lot of heat, and I loved everything about it. I’d like to thank the author for providing an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
