Tropes: Enemies to Lovers/Secret Baby/Hockey Romance
Release Date: October 24, 2023
BLURB
As a bookworm in rural Nova Scotia, a girl who always orbited the popular crowd, I craved acceptance.
During my freshman year at Scotia Academy, I devised a plan to transform myself.
My reinvention, however, leads to a chain of unsettling events, blurring the boundaries between my true self and the façade I’ve created.
When a baby unexpectedly appears outside my dorm room, I’m forced to live with my best friend’s brother Kace Andrews—a notorious hockey player who loves all the puck bunnies.
Well, all the puck bunnies except for me.
But soon enough, he begins to see beyond my disguise, which leads to soft kisses, tender touches and late nights between the sheets.
We’re on a journey of self-discovery as we play house, but when a reckless mistake catches up with me, bringing up old hurts Kace can’t seem to outrun, I question whether our love is enough to help rebuild our shattered trust in a world consumed by betrayal.
🏒Review🏒
College was supposed to be a new beginning for Jemma where she could finally live the life she wanted and not the life she was living. She thought the plan was unfolding as expected until she finds herself with an unexpected baby and an unexpected roommate.
Even though Kace has a lot going on in his life and a lot of responsibilities he is there when Jemma needs someone the most and isn’t about to let her face the situation on her own.
I enjoyed seeing Kace and Jemma find their way to each other as they didn’t let outside forces derail what they could have together, and his support gave her the confidence and strength to become the woman she was destined to be.
