Looks like I have a new favorite D.C. Eagles book (Sorry, Mitch)! If you're looking for a brilliant friend-to-lovers, marriage of convenience, look no further. This is the book to read.
I cannot express how much I love Ford and Amber, both together and on their own. Ford is strong, kind, and generous, and the way he loves and takes care of Amber and Nella is just so good. The scenes of him and Nella alone straight melted me. And I adored how loving, supportive, and considerate Amber is even with the mother that raised her. She's strong and confident, and getting to see her stand up to he ex and her mom was awesome.
The representation of Ford's autism was phenomenal. Being neurodivergent myself, it was refreshing seeing it represented accurately in not just a side character, but the hero. His acceptance of himself and courage in being open with his teammates was so lovely.
As with all the D.C. Eagles novels, one of the best aspects is the team itself. They are all hilarious and adorable, and the way they support each other is wonderful. And don't even get me started on the scene when the guys are all watching Nella, it's pure magic. And the way the wives and girlfriends welcome Amber is so sweet.
Quick sidenote: as a Cinci girl and Bengals fan, I also really enjoyed that the Cincinnati hockey team is the Tigers.

Another Five Star By Leah
5 Stars.🏒 The vibes:- dual pov- Neurodivergent rep- Marriage of convenience- Single mom- Flash backs- Found family- Slow burn🏒 My thoughts:Well Leah Brunner has done it again. This series is so solid that I cannot stop recommending every single book she writes. Every match up has been 👏🏼 flaw 👏🏼 less.🥅 Ford and Amber did not disappoint. This is marriage of convenience and the set up for it just made so much sense to me. Leah, you convinced me. Fully on board here.🥅 Ford. Sweet baby angel Ford. Ford has been best friends with Amber since they were in 2nd grade and she basically took him under her little social butterfly wing. Growing up with high functioning Aspergers, Ford has always struggled to make connections or understand social cues that his peers can. While Ford has areas that he struggles with, his heart is pure gold and seeing how he stays lovely in a cruel world was so precious.✂️ And getting to see Amber fully see Ford as more than a friend was so sweet. It felt so organic to me with the slooooow burn.🍼 There are so many precious moments between Ford and baby Nella. And the entire hockey bros babysitting. I almost died from swoon. Who doesn’t love a man who is good with babies??🏒 The tattoo. The friend group. The lingerie shop. 👀😂🙈. Ford’s family. Everything. I think I loved everything about this book. And the set up for book 4!!!. I’m out of my mind excited.🏒 This is book 3 in a hockey series. They can be read as standalone but I have loved them all so much and recommend checking them all out. (There’s even a prequel). I’ll include a slide with info on all four.🥅 If you loved the bro group in the bromance book series by Lyssa Kay Adams- you should try this series. The main similarities is that they’re sports romances that feature a group of guys in sports who bond and support each other. The biggest difference being that Leah Brunner’s books are closed door while Lyssa’s are open.Release date: April 4, 2024.Thank you so much to Leah Brunner and Wordsmith Publicity for the gifted copy.
