Review: π•Šπ•™π• π• π•₯ 𝕐𝕠𝕦𝕣 π•Šπ•™π• π•₯ is the β€œMy Wife” trope at its best and its worst. Kolt Kolbourne has surpassed most of Hannah’s book boyfriends with his story and I was unable to put this book down until the words The End. This book was not sweet or sappy but real. Raw. And emotional. Kolt and Paige have this intensity between them that Hannah was able to capture perfectly in both times of love and hate as we read this second chance hockey romance. Kolt was one of the most self sabotaging but also devoted MMCs I have ever read and it will be hard to top the love he had for his wife. 

π•Šπ•™π• π• π•₯ 𝕐𝕠𝕦𝕣 π•Šπ•™π• π•₯ is a gritty second chance romance that requires tissue, popcorn and a high threshold of patience. Kolt is not for the weak of heart and will push every button, boundary and shred of sanity you have as he struggles to accept that Paige has always and will always love him. Hannah was able to balance the hate and love in this book in a way that showed how fine of a line it is but also emphasized how these two just fit. There was really no part of the book where I could imagine Paige without Kolt or Kolt without Paige.


Like all Hannah books the side characters and found family added so so much to the story and Amelia once again stile my heart. The way Kolt and Paige fell in love with Amelia (who we meet in Tell Me Lies) had me hoping for them to get the final piece to their HEA in books to come and I just adored the way we really see the sense of found family between the New England Bay Shark hockey team. π•Šπ•™π• π• π•₯ 𝕐𝕠𝕦𝕣 π•Šπ•™π• π•₯ was a 5 star read that shot near the top of my all time favorite Hannah books and I am excited to see what comes next!

Rating: 5/5; Hannah Gray destroyed me with Kolt and Paige in π•Šπ•™π• π• π•₯ 𝕐𝕠𝕦𝕣 π•Šπ•™π• π•₯ and I am still not over the emotional punch to the gut!


Thank you Hannah & Wordsmith Publicity for the eARC!
