I have loved all of this series so far, and this third entry did not disappoint. I was definitely looking forward to getting the background behind why Hemi hates Dallas so much. The story was what you’d expect in a way, childhood bully, or at least he seemed like a bully because he was friends with those who picked on her, and didn’t seem to help her in any way.
Hemi was a take charge kind of woman. She spoke up for what she knew was right, and made sure she was heard so that she could do the best job for the people she worked for. So when the fake dating got set up, it was understandable why she played along. Not only did it help her with her dreading going back to their high school reunion, but she also knew if she didn’t, she’d cause problems for the team and Dallas, etc.
I loved the arguing/banter between the two. And the way the story started out, Dallas’s anxiety boners cracked me up so much! They had amazing chemistry, it came off the page and I could feel it as I read those scenes. The emotions were real too, I was tearing up at certain scenes. As usual I loved all the family members we met, as well as all the friends we knew from the other books in the series so far. The book left of with an HEA for our couple, but gave us questions and a lead into the next story. I am ready for Flip’s story, but I believe we’re going to be waiting a bit for that!
Another book I couldn’t put down, hated doing anything besides being able to just read.
