Lies, Hearts & Truths #3
BJ & Winter
I loved this book so much, what a fantastic story! Loved Winter and BJ! There’s a word that is repeated often in the book and I feel it represents what the book meant for me: hope. Hope that had wings and delivered for Winter and gave her a much better future than she ever expected.
Winter comes from a dysfunctional family with an abusive father and a cowering mother. She was conditioned to give up her own dreams in order to serve her family. When she met BJ, he opened her eyes to a different future and gave her hope.
I loved that Winter, in spite of her hard life, is still spunky and fun. She delighted BJ and he instantly felt the connection. I was afraid that as he learned about her baggage, he would find it too heavy, but nooooo, he was connected, he was involved and he dived in to help.
Winter plays hockey and BJ is a figure skater, both love the ice and are athletes, so he invited her to the ice rink and she wowed his father, Randal Ballistic and his uncle Alex Waters. She was invited to the women’s summer hockey team and after some convincing, she accepted. And with this acceptance, she entered a different world, full of acceptance, hope and opportunities.
BJ is easy going, falls asleep anywhere, flirty and fun. He swoons Winter with his jokes and great humor, his offers of a good time. I loved the banter between them and their fun sexy times where there are laughs intertwined with the moans. He’s enchanting, she’s intense and they are perfect together.
Apart from the humor and the lovely romance, there is heartbreak and longing that I felt very strongly. Winter’s situation appealed so much to me, the heartbreak of feeling trapped in a situation where she wants to escape but doesn’t have the means. She’s working hard but still has to scramble. And when her father hits, she despairs and breaks for her mom. It broke my heart and made me angry for her.
I loved how, in exchange, BJ’s family, extended family and friends, gather together and help. Hope has wings, as BJ says, and it was no truer than when everyone chipped in.
It was a feel good story, with great humor and a great human interest side. I thought I was going to read a young adult story and ended up with so much more, and a very happy heart.
