Blurb:

What do you get when you cross a curvy seamstress with three hot hockey players? A pucking disaster.

My escape plan seemed foolproof - retreat to my brother's empty apartment after catching my ex with another man. But I stumble into an unexpected complication: his hockey player roommates...and I'm stark naked.

Despite my mortifying entrance, and against my better judgment, they’re willing to let me stay but with a few rules:

1. No funny business.

2. No telling the team captain - aka my brother - Harrison.

3. It's temporary until I can find somewhere else to live.

At first, the boundaries hold. But simmering tension and close quarters makes resisting temptation harder with each passing day. The simmering tension threatens to combust, blurring the lines we swore not to cross.

But how can we go back after crossing that line? And what happens when my brother inevitably finds out?

My Review:

This book? Oh, it was a good time, and honestly, that’s exactly what it set out to be. Think cozy, chaotic, slightly scandalous palate cleanser with just enough spice to keep you turning pages like you’ve got something to hide.

One thing about me? I will always show up for a why choose romance. They have me in an absolute chokehold. And this one delivers on one of my favorite tropes: multiple men who are completely, utterly, borderline unhealthily devoted to the FMC. I’m talking full worship mode. These men are not just in love, they are ready to build a shrine, light some candles, and dedicate their entire personalities to her. As they should.

And the setup? A little sister falling headfirst into a relationship with her brother’s three best friends/teammates? The drama practically writes itself. The tension? Delicious. The secrets? Oh, they are there, simmering in the background like a pot you forgot on the stove but somehow didn’t burn (yet).

That said, I do have one tiny, persistent thought when it comes to why choose romances: I personally love when everyone is… let’s say, equally invested across the board. Like if we’re all here, let’s ALL be here, you know? Give me a fully connected web, not just spokes on a wheel. But that’s more of a “me” thing than a flaw in the story.

Overall, this book knows exactly what it is and doesn’t try to be anything else, a fun, dramatic, slightly messy escape where the vibes are high, the men are obsessed, and the romance is doing the absolute most.

If you’re looking for something packed with tension, secrets, and enough drama to keep your eyebrows permanently raised, this one will absolutely hit the spot.
