4 Star
Jordyn is living on the goodwill of her brother after her ex
left her for her best friend. She’s trying to take care of their two kids and
start over after being a stay-at-home mom for years. She doesn’t know how she
is going to do anything let alone repay her brother for everything he’s done
for her. Her brother has asked all of his teammates to chip in and help move
her in, but she doesn’t want to wait. When one of her sons’ boxes breaks it is
just one too many things and she has a breakdown and Ben stumbles upon her. He
is one of her brother’s teammates and is off limits even if she was ready for a
relationship. Ben has never had it easy. His dad left when he was a child and
his mom checked out. He had to take care of his sister and mom. When horrible
things happen to his sister while he’s gone for college she turns to drugs.
He’s made to feel guilty for doing anything. When he meets Jordyn, he wants her
but doesn’t think he deserves her. Will they be able to work through their
traumas and find their happy ending?
I loved these two. Jordyn and Ben have so much crap to work
through. I love that they lean on each other to heal from their past trauma. I’ve
seen in other books where the guy would withhold his trauma to deal with it on
their own instead of leaning on the love interest. Ben didn’t do this, and I
loved that he was willing to open up to Jordyn and lets her help him figure
things out. It was nice to see a healthy relationship. When I got to the end of
the book, I was surprised it was already over with. I wanted more. I would love
to see a short story with them getting married or having a kid.
