I'm Your Guy

[3.75] hockey meets HGTV?? i'm in heaven.

down-on-his-luck interior decorator Carter grabs hold of a much-needed lifeline in Tommaso, a new trade to the Cougars who decides to put his trust in a virtual stranger to get his condo furnished in time for the holidays.

now that it's officially hockey season, i'm finding even more joy with my hockey reads, and i think Sarina Bowen did a great job putting the sport on-page and incorporating Tommaso's team members for a lusher cast of characters.

despite SB's written relationships often losing momentum in the transition from physical attraction to a true spark, i'm in the minority of book friends who still enjoyed the first book and could seek out the feels and fun in the grumpy/sunshine dynamic of this one. if i had to point out my main niggles, i had hoped for a more satisfactory resolution on the abusive uncle/cousin front, and a deeper self-reflection from Carter regarding his part in the situation that got him into the biggest pickle to ever pickle. there were also a sprinkling of scene inclusions that i found to be...interesting choices, but good times overall :D
