Cocktails and Books received this book for free from Wildfire Marketing in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect our opinion of the book or the content of our review.

When you’ve read a series of books, there are times when it’s a secondary character’s turn center stage and you wonder if you’ll like them. That was Zara Stone (and her sister Zoe) for me – after meeting them in the previous “something so” books, I just wasn’t sure how I would feel about her being a romantic lead.

Ms Madison surprised me by creating a character that I not only liked, but enjoyed and found myself rooting for. Evan may be the sweetest of of the hockey bad boys since the original Cooper.

From an interesting meet cute, to a slight slow burn, and a couple of mini crises, this was a fun and entertaining read. I liked Zara and Evan together and appreciated how the extended Grant/Stone family was woven in as a strong secondary cast. This is a book that would be a stronger read if read as part of the Something So series, but could be read as a stand-alone as well.
After a few hints being dropped, I am curious to see Zoe’s story next.

 

From the best selling series, Something So comes the spin-off This
is…
 
Zara Stone
 
All my life, I’ve said I will never date a hockey player. I know
better because I’ve seen and lived it all. My father is a hockey god, my
brother is the captain of the most successful NHL team in the world, and my
brother-in-law also plays in the league. Their lives are complicated, so I went
in the opposite direction.
 
I fell in love with a scholar. But instead of proposing marriage,
he broke up with me.
 
Three months later, I saw his engagement picture on Instagram. I
couldn’t let him get away with that. No, it didn’t matter what, I was going to
make that man see that I did not need him.
Evan Richards
 
I was in the running to pass my point record from last year, ready
to claim the number one spot in the league. On top of my game, I was riding my
career high wave.
 
Then, Hockey’s Princess, Zara Stone tweeted me. She wanted me to
crash her ex’s wedding.
 
The worst that could happen? A PR nightmare. The best? A fun night
with a beautiful woman.
 
It started out as a game—something I’m good at. Her crazy idea
twisted into something I wasn’t looking for, something neither of us wanted.
When push comes to shove, one thing runs through my mind:

 

This is Crazy. Also, this is crazy right.

When her nose isn’t buried in a book, or her fingers
flying across a keyboard writing, she’s in the kitchen creating gourmet meals.
You can find her, in four inch heels no less, in the car chauffeuring kids, or
possibly with her husband scheduling his business trips. It’s a good thing her
characters do what she says, because even her Labrador doesn’t listen to her…
