Toronto Terrors #2
Hollis & Aurora
I read this book with my heart hurting, but loving the story. These books with the trope brother’s best friend or in this case, father’s best friend involve lying, hiding, and some pain in the end. The person being lied to, in this case, Aurora’s father, will feel betrayed and hurt. Hollis and Aurora love each other so much and so hard that they can’t stop getting closer and closer. But there’s this storm cloud looming on the horizon. And as a mother, I was feeling Roman’s hurt even before it happens.
The story is brilliant, I loved the hesitation, the guilt, the despair, especially in Hollis, because he fears he will lose a good friend. Aurora, like a very beloved daughter, had the fear of disappointing her father but she knows he’ll never stop loving her. So, for Aurora, the pain is less. And for me, this book is about Hollis, his uncertainty and his despair. And this is why I don’t like this trope, my heart hurts so bad, although it rejoices when all is well again.
I loved Hollis’ devotion to Aurora, in spite of his insecurities and concern that she’s too young. I loved Aurora’s relation with her father, how she calls him “Dado”, their closeness, how he includes her in everything. Roman’s dedication to his daughter is just plain beautiful.
There’s an awesome friendship between the women close to the team: Tally, Hemi, Rix, Shilpa, Dred, who call themselves the Badass Babe Brigade. I would seriously love to have such a wonderful group of girl friends!
It’s very steamy, very entertaining, funny in some parts, a lot angsty, and I feel like I know these people. I loved Aurora’s bratty behavior, how she shakes Hollis broody manner, loved loved seeing Rix and Tristan so lovey-dovey as a couple. Can’t wait to see the other guys get their comeuppance, especially old guy Roman!
