BLURB:
I never imagined the ruthless Titan would choose me as his rebellion, or that I’d become his shield.
Hockey was supposed to be my ticket to stability, earning me a scholarship for an education I could never have afforded on my own.
Until Connor Walsh, the ruthless star of the Crestwood hockey team and my captain, corners me with an ultimatum that changes everything.
Marry him, or watch my scholarship—and my entire future—disappear.
It’s blackmail, pure and simple. A calculated move in whatever twisted game he’s playing with his equally ruthless father. And I’m just a pawn he’s willing to sacrifice.
Now I’m trapped in their war, shielding the one person who should be my enemy and learning all over again that safety is just another thing people like me don’t get.
I keep telling myself to hold back, that getting close only leads to hurt. But every day I spend with Connor pulls me in a little more.
And falling for my husband is worse than anything the ruthless titan can threaten me with.
Because love—family—well, they never last.
Grab your copy of this steamy MM featuring an over the top possessive hockey player and his teammate. This is a forced marriage college hockey romance with a bi-awakening, two broken MCs, and first times.
REVIEW:
Fan freaking tastic- this is my first book my the author and I am so so happy I read it. It made my toxic love hungry heart happy. Connor and Ryan were everything. I thing o only struggled a bit during the first couple go chapters which is totally on me because I tend to start series in the middle like this one and the. Need to catch up on all the dynamics and the characters and I also tend to go in blind on the blurb before reading so I dont really remember to expect – which is sort of like the feeling when you’re reading a series slowly and catching up but it did not spoil my enjoyment at all
Fantastic characters, fast paced, unexpected, morally grey, evil guys who are good, good guys who suck, bottoms up found family, kidnapping, forced marriage, hard core band of brothers, alpha male, healing, vengence and white hot chemistry that is so emotional and sweet at the same time. Highly recommend reading. I will be happily going back to start the series from the beginning, I am curious about everyoneeeee.
Connor is just leap first when pushed into a corner and his parents are on his last nerve with this arranged marriage so he does the only sensible thing, the most wild out of wack idea – he kidnaps, threatens and coerced Ryan into a forced marriage. Man the fall out, I felt for Ryan, o did not like Connor for the first quarter of the book honestly with the amount he triggered art a who needs all the love and healing and wrapping in cotton wool we can give him.
While he doesn’t apologise per se, he more than makes up for it, he is Ryan’s champion , his touch him and die attitude is terrific. These two fall fast and they fall hard. Ryan also protects Connor from his evil parents, specially physically from his dad and heals in his own way when he realises he can protect Connor, it was all epic
This story is full of first times, twists and turns, action and drama and codependent relationships and I absolutely loved it. My only teeny tiny ask would be a bit more character introductions early on but o am totally not fussed on it and enjoyed the book immensely.
