4.5 stars — What a great start to a new series! I haven’t even finished all of the Cold Fury books, but I’m down with these Vengeance boys.
I actually started the audio first, and honestly I was feeling bummed because it didn’t seem like Bishop was my kind of hero. But either my mood changed, or the narrator just wasn’t for me, so if you feel similarly with the audio give reading a try.
Bishop was actually surprisingly sweet and considerate. I mean, don’t get me wrong, that boy was DIRTY with all caps! All the wonderful sexy talk, and it worked for him. But he was so much more than I was expecting. I think I was expecting more of a player like Erik, but I didn’t necessarily get that vibe. Sure, definitely a fan of the sexy times, but not necessarily opposed to commitment. I loved the relationship he had with Dax (though we didn’t get to see much), and I ADORED his relationship with his Mom. It was nice to have a fairly normal hero, without damage or hangups. The tension comes from the situation they create.
And honestly? Brooke wasn’t quite what I was expecting either! I think since the blurb mentions her introducing him as the fiancé, I had a different expectation of her. But she was actually a solid heroine with a huge heart. I kind of wish we could have seen her interacting with her father more, what with that being the reason she even moved to Phoenix. But I loved the way she could be wary, but still adventurous. I appreciated that she was cautious with her feelings, but not so much so that it was annoying.
And obviously they were absolute fire with one another. They had so much chemistry, even from the first steamy scenes that were a bit more impersonal. I loved watching their relationship grow throughout the deception, until it wasn’t much of a deception anymore.
Really loved being introduced to quite a few of the other hockey guys, and I’m intrigued by so many of their stories. The hockey representation actually felt really authentic, which is soooooo refreshing.
The only thing I was meh on was the whole Nanette thing. It played too large a part for me. I get why it was there, to help add even more tension, but it was a bit of a distraction.
Definitely looking forward to continuing with this series!
