Another fantastic book from one of my favorite authors!
From the blurb:
Problem number one: My arch enemy is the jackass reporter who keeps making up lies about me.
Problem number two: He’s also absurdly hot so the idea of being trapped in a cabin with him gives me ideas.
Problem number three: As much as he pisses me off, Aravind Gupta might actually be right about a few things: namely that my career in hockey is probably over.
A poorly timed check might have robbed me of being able to retire old and with nearly half of my original teeth, and Aravind was right there on the front lines to tell the world about it.
In a wild attempt to get away and figure out what comes next, I find him on my same ferry, heading out to a quiet island where I planned to do nothing but bed rot.
Aravind has other ideas though, and he makes those known before we’re even off the boat.
And while it’s not like me to want to sleep with a man I can’t stand, somehow, he’s turned into the only bright light in the dark shadows my terrible family casts.
I might not be used to believing in myself, but with Aravind’s quiet and gentle persistence, I’m starting to think that despite what I’ve always been taught, I deserve my happily ever after.
Yard Sale is the third and final book of the Legends and Fury trilogy, a spin-off of Punk as Puck. It’s a rivals to lovers romance featuring a tired, injured D-man with a crappy family who is failing to cope at life, a reluctant reporter with a thing for lace and silk who is doing his best to figure out who he is and what he wants, sandcastles, walks on the beach, making unique use of panties, the joys of too many aunties coming to visit, and a steamy, swoony happily ever after.
Katriana Prey's review:
Want to know something weird? I don't like hockey, but I have loved every single one of these books EM has written so far. They are so good, and I have loved the characters they've created. Including Aravind and Tiago.
Their story started off with them hating each other, rightfully so. As they kept running into each other, and started actually talking to one another, they realized that there is some sort of spark between them, and once they stopped trying to deny it, and finally gave into their desires, they realized there was so much more between them than just lust.
I thought this story was great! A little slow at first but the pacing picked up a bit once they got onto the ferry, and from that point on is where this book really hit its stride. I'll be honest, I strongly dislike Tiago's whole family, I couldn't believe the things they said to him and how they treated him. I don't want to spoil anything but I will say, I'm glad Tiago is a good uncle, his nephew is going to need his support.
The romance between these two men was there, the emotional side built up gradually over time which I enjoyed. I also liked how Ara's family adopted Tiago, they were so sweet and kind when it came to him being there, I loved seeing that. Something else I loved seeing was familiar faces/names making appearances and getting mentioned. I love when an author brings their characters back and EM did exactly that there and I loved it!! Overall, another fabulous book!!
