As one relationship takes off, another begins: Brian seems to be clicking with Lexi’s boss at the coffee shop. But when the friction between Roman and her new family heats up, Lexi wonders whether she’s a pawn in their game. Feeling hurt and foolish,
Lexi’s ready to quit while she’s ahead. Trouble is, Roman’s not ready to quit on her.
3 Warm Me Up Stars
Roman is a standalone and is part of the Cold Fury Hockey series. You can read the books out of order and still understand what goes on. I actually have read the books out of order and was perfectly fine.
Roman is kind of his own island. He isn’t cold, he just doesn’t have a need to surround himself with people, but all and all he is a good man. He just gets into a lot of trouble.
I didn’t have a huge connection with Roman, but I found him very likable. He has a bad reputation and it kind of follows him. Let’s just say there is a lot of judgement.
Before Lexi’s mom died she told her that her father is Brian Brannon who is also Gray’s father. She is in a previous book. I was interested in Lexi’s background and dynamic. I wanted her to have a connection with Brain and I enjoyed the long-lost daughter storyline.
I struggled with Gray and Lexi’s relationship. Gray is a huge daddy’s girl so she had a problem with Lexi. I found it really frustrating and kind of hard to read because Gray was really hard on Lexi and Gray is in Ryker’s story. I haven’t read Ryker’s story, but I am cautious now I got a glimpse of Gray’s personality.
What made this book a little different was Brian’s POV, it wasn’t in there much, but I really enjoyed those parts. Like I said, I really liked the whole father/ daughter relationship. It was just really cute.
Roman and Lexi are a sweet couple and more of the problems were placed between Lexi and Gray than anything. I enjoyed that Roman and Lexi’s relationship was low on tension. Overall, I still enjoyed the read and the series.
