Title: The Wingman (ARC)
Author: Stephanie Archer
Genre: Sports Romance
Rating: Enjoyed
Spice: Flamin Hot Cheeto
Synopsis: Darcy is fresh off a long term relationship/broken engagement with her college boyfriend. Now she’s living in a new city with her best friend, NHL star Hayden Owens. What better way to get back into the dating scene than having the NHL’s biggest playboy, as your wingman?
Thoughts: Normally not a fan of friends-lovers all that much but this was a great exception. Hayden’s crush on his best friend Darcy, is adorable. Everyone but her knows, and the ribbing he gets from his teammates is pretty cute. Darcy’s low on confidence after spending years hiding her true self for someone who didn’t appreciate her. Her attempts to get back into the dating pool are hilariously and sadly the norm irl, but having a hot playboy bestie/roommate more than makes up for it. The romantic and sexual exploration between two friends who have been secretly harboring feelings for one another for years, is both hilarious and charming. Hayden Owen’s “kink” for buying her jewelry is a green flag for me. However, its the way he lifts her up and pushes her to let her true self out, that I loved about him most.
Quotes:
“You want my advice? Hold out for a guy who wants to TI-83 you all night long.”
