I’ve read most of this series, and these books are a quick, light read. Nothing overly substantial, but some character development and a good amount of spice. Georgia is a socialite, grieving the loss of her sister. Dylan is an aging hockey player. They hook up in Vegas and get hitched. It just so happens that they both live in Chicago. And Georgia lives next door to another hockey player on Dylan’s team, which seems extremely unlikely, but okay. Georgia’s first instinct is to get the marriage annulled, but then it will be another notch on her ladder of flightiness. Dylan’s grandma is thrilled when word gets out about the wedding.

I liked Jennifer and Scott’s interactions, for the most part. I think the biggest flaw is that the only thing really keeping the characters apart is their suspicion and fear. Which got a little repetitive. And Jennifer’s self reflections got a bit tedious for me. All in all it was a cute read. I liked t...
