“Where did you meet?” Rhys asks.
“Remember that wedding I was the best man in?”
“Ohhh, shhh, Banksy bagged himself a bridesmaid!” Shep Shouts.
I shake my head and smirk. “She’s the bride.”

Wow. What a way to wrap up the Lakes Hockey series. Throughout this series, Camden/Teller/Banksy (you pick the name) has been portrayed as a playboy who cares about very little in life but hockey and bunnies. This season he’s captain and he’s got a lot to prove. His mom married into money when he was a kid so he grew up with a privileged set of friends. That’s how he ended up being best man to Brain who we learn early on is just a terrible human. His finance, Jordan is also from that world, but even more so. Like if these guys are rich, she’s rich rich. In the book it’s explained that his parents know senators, but her parents know the president. That kind of rich.
She’s a good girl who’s never made waves. After dating throughout college it just kind of made sense to get married. She just chalked it up to this is how it’s going to be. After all that’s the kind of marriage her parents have. But after Brain gets aggressive and takes things WAY too far she’s done. With her parents out of the country, she turns to Cam for assistance. And oh man do they find… comfort in one another. I absolutely loved watching Jordan come out of her shell, make friends, and build a life she was happy with. Also, her dog is named chicken salad and that’s just hilarious.
This was a fun sports romance read that also had a number of serious moments. I suggest you read the trigger warnings before starting this book.
