4.5 - A single dad is always going to do it for me.
Of all the hockey series that I have read, the Vancouver storm may be my favorite of them all.
Coach Tate and owner of the Filthy Flamingo Jordan have always been in the background of the stories, and it was so nice to finally see them shine.
Tate wants nothing more than his daughter in his life and his team winning. Except when surly, but beautiful, Jordan enters his orbit, he finds another person to add to his list. Filled with restraint, Tate has never allowed him self to just take - until Jordan provides the opprotunity. Jordan always felt like she didn't belong, always on the outside of a family even her own. Now, she has the chance to join her favorite family, and he's not sure how to go about it.
Jordan and Tate were so fun to read about. I loved their banter with one another and how they challenged each other in different ways. I loved that Tate built a friendship and relationship with Jordan before anything romantic progressed between them. He was the silent backer and support she needed to really come into herself. I also loved Jordan's relationship with Tate's daughter. You can see how well Tate was raising his daughter, and that's always appreciated!
The characters we've gotten to love throughout the series make huge appearances in this book and it was the perfect way to end the series. There were a bunch of easter eggs in this book that I can't wait to see if something comes from it, because I will always need more from the Vancouver Storm!
Thank you Stephanie Archer for an eARC. All thoughts are my own.
