New series in a small town with a single dad and famous football player.
From the blurb:
The football star, the lumberjack, and a small-town love story…
Silas
Not to sound dramatic, but I can’t decide if I’m a hot mess, a has-been…or both.
There’s nothing quite like being in the spotlight at my lowest point. I could use a break from LA and my agent just for a little while. But Vermont in the middle of a blizzard? Probably not a great idea. However, the sexy lumberjack who lives next door is a sweet surprise. And so are his kids and the town.
I like this place. I could be happy here…at least till my new season begins.
Cooper
My time is split between work and fatherhood. That’s it. Boss and Dad. Maybe that’s why the football star is a breath of fresh air. Silas is funny, charismatic, and cool.
My kids love having a celebrity living next door. And me? I can’t remember the last time I felt quite so alive.
Yes, I’m well aware this isn’t going anywhere. Our worlds are just too different.
Too bad, ’cause this guy feels like the real thing.
Lesetiger's review:
The blurb piqued my curiosity, so I was eager to read the story.
Silas has ended his NFL career, and his marriage has fallen apart. To get out of the city, he moves to Vermont temporarily.
The writing style of the story was wonderful, and I quickly found myself right in the middle of a snowstorm alongside Silas. I didn’t find the fact that Silas ended up there all that thrilling, since there were definitely warnings. But it was great for the story, because it forced Silas and Cooper to grow closer. After all, Silas was definitely suffering from hypothermia, and a hospital stay wasn’t an option for him.
The story is told alternately from the perspectives of Cooper and Silas, both of whom have separated from their wives. A highlight was Cooper’s children, who were very refreshing. I could feel the chemistry between Silas and Cooper, and I thought the development of their relationship was great. What I didn’t like so much was that their former partners came up quite often, in my opinion, but I think that’s also somewhat normal. Cooper is a great character, a safe haven for Silas, who is grateful for honest love.
I found the book entertaining. Nick J. Russo has once again done an exceptional job and brought the story to life. It was a pleasure to listen to him. He has a pleasant voice, a good pace, and has chosen fitting voices for the different characters.
