Lachlan & Ainsley
Ainsley MacKinley is wicked! All the pranks she played on poor Lachlan West had me in stitches reading this book! The best way to describe Lachlan as he reacts to Ainsley is beleaguered, which made this story such a delightful romance. I loved the banter, all the joking and teasing. Their second chance is riddled with longing and issues from a problematic childhood as Army brats, the frequent moves and complicated relations with their parents. In all the turmoil of their childhood, the friendship between Caspian, Lachlan, and Ainsley, was the only constant they had.
Lachlan is Ainsley’s older brother’s best friend. When they were little she was the little pest who followed them everywhere. When she was fourteen, she was the teenager who crushed hard on Lachlan. And when his mother died, she tried to comfort him, kissed him and got rejected so hard that she went back to college and ghosted him. Now, four years later, she’s a reporter and she had to seek him out and try to get an interview with him. Fun times!
Lach walked away from a professional football draft to take care of his baby daughter. He settled in a little town and turned into a firefighter. He’s giving his daughter Rose the childhood he didn’t have. And now Ainsley, a.k.a. Painsley, to interview him. And as the icing on top of a cake, his teammates are also would-be draftees who walked away for heir own personal reasons. And what are they doing to keep in athletic shape? Ultimate Frisbee team!
I loved the romance, loved little Rose and the love that flourished between her and Ainsley, loved the coffee shop with the writer’s nook and her new friend Hazel, loved Ainsley’s cluelessness about sports, her wicked humor, and the three friends. It’s wonderful when you have a book full of friends, fun times, and sweet sexy times and the author offered those in droves.
Lach has issues he hasn’t resolved from his childhood and they are the obstacle to their HEA. I sure enjoyed watching Ainsley give him pain! Throughly entertaining, this has been the funnest book I’ve read by this author!
