5 swoon-tastic stars!

After falling in love with Kacie and Brody’s story in Room For You, I have been saving this follow up book for a time when I needed it. That time was last night. And from the moment I picked it up, the feels from the first book all came rushing back, and I lost myself in the beauty of Kacie and Brody’s romance all over again. My ‘I’ll just read a couple of chapters’ ended up with me finishing the book at 2.15 this morning, unable to put it down. Full of swoony declarations, heart-warming family time with Kacie’s twin girls, flirty banter, fun teasing, a nice amount of steam and the brilliant inner monologue of both Kacie and Brody, this book is an absolute gem!

The story picks up just after the ending of Room For You. Kacie and Brody are still very much in love, with him making frequent visits from the city to her family’s small-town inn to spend time with his girls as they settle into their relationship and the practicalities of family life.

“I’m just worried about them getting too attached.” Her head was facing down, but she peeked up at me with her huge green eyes. “Me too.”
“Kacie, get attached. Please, get attached . I sure as hell know I am. You’re what I want. You and the girls. This is it for me.”

Oh swoon!

But there is drama brewing!!! Kacie’s past comes screeching into her present when an unexpected meeting forces her to face her past in a way she never wanted to again, and in a way that will bring big changes to her family. And meanwhile, Brody’s life gets busy when hockey season starts up again, taking him away from his beloved girls. And with his contract up at the end of the year, the pressure is on to perform with the possibility of a trade dangling over his head.

But through it all, the connection between the two of them remains strong. Kacie is there for Brody, supporting him and unhesitatingly giving all of herself to him, with lots of those beautifully happy little moments that sappy romance readers like me crave. And for Brody, Kacie and his “twinkies” are where his heart is at, and he makes that clear with everything he says and does. Seriously, the man is perfect! So open, caring and affectionate, and so absolutely proud to be a love-sick fool.

“You are my future, Kacie. You’re my present and my future and if I could figure out a way to invent a damn time machine, you’d be my past.”

Swoon again!

Yes, there is a little bit of angst in the mix, and both Kacie and Brody make mistakes as they struggle with all that is going on. But it is nothing insurmountable, and they never lose site of their feelings for each other or the future they want to build together, and they both put in the effort to make it work.

“You’re too good to be real.”
“Nope, I’m real and I’m all yours.”

I loved that we got to catch up with Kacie and Brody’s friends (developments for Andy had me cheering) and I am so excited by the news that Viper is getting a book. OMG, I can’t WAIT for that! He is so irreverent, hilariously slutty and anti-relationship. Watching him fall is going to be an absolute treat, especially after this little insight…

“Viper? I thought you said that was a one-time thing?”
“It was supposed to be.” She shrugged. “But he texted me and I couldn’t stay away. That boy can lick the bark off a tree.”

I loved this book! It’s sweet, it’s emotional, and it’s an absolutely beautiful love story. I honestly loved every moment of it and was left grinning like a fool and hugging my kindle. I can’t wait for more in the follow up novella – Room for Just a Little Bit More.

5 stars.
