My Thoughts?

How much do I love a Tessa Bailey book? Let me count the ways (all the ways). This book, the third in the Big Shots series, involved two characters I had been hoping to get more information about from the get-go.

Yes, I’m talking about Sig Gauthier and Chloe Clifford. The “tough as nails” hockey player, and the girl who everyone underestimates.

These two could not be more different and maybe that’s why I love them so much. Sig drives an old vehicle which is constantly threatening to break down and Chloe has grown up never knowing what public transit might be like.

Sig is a big softie when it comes to her, when he should be firm, and firm when he should be soft (not in that way, although…)

Chloe is learning how to do things without her mother, who, to be honest, needs to learn how to loosen the reigns on her wild-hearted child. She is the epitomy of living through your child and god, I hated her so much.

Will everyone like Chloe? No, probably not, but I definitely had a soft spot for her. Did I identify with her? No, but it was really good to see how the other half lives, and what it could be like to no longer be able to do so.

Can’t lie, the plot of step-siblings feeling romantic feelings toward each other will always make me think of Clueless, and I’m not even mad about it. Is it taboo? Yes. Do these two deserve to be together more than their parents do? Yes. (Sorry, Chloe’s mom.)

This book is an easy read, and the banter is always world class when it comes to Tessa Bailey, and I’m so glad these two got their day in print.

And as with all Tessa Bailey books, this was spicy af.
