Book Review: Wanting the Winger
TROPES
Sebastian Stone has a wedding to stop. His best friend’s sister is planning to make an epic mistake in six months, but no one else seems to get it.
So when Lainey Morris needs a place to stay in Cleveland for a four-month long research project, Bash offers her his house. As a pro hockey player, he’s on the road a lot, but when he’s home, he makes his case against her marrying Shane—or anyone else.
She’s stubborn and often has her head in a book, but Lainey is also beautiful, funny and sweet. Plenty of men would like to lock her down, but she needs to focus on herself. Take her time. Wait until she’s at least thirty.
Bash plans to use logic and reason to persuade Lainey to stay single, but everything falls apart when he finally figures out the he’s in love with her. But is it too late to hope she might feel the same?
My Review
I thought this was a sweet and charming read. It is under 200 pages, so it is a fast read as well. It takes a lot of guts to tell your friend that they should not go through and marry someone. Yet, Sebastian had no ill intentions when he told this to Lainey. He truly had her back.
It was adorable that it took him so long to realize that he loved Lainey. I could tell right away. Yet, this is a slow burn romance. It works well as a slow burn. It made the feelings and chemistry between Lainey and Sebastian feel more real this way.
I am so thankful that I do not suffer from IBS. I will tell you that if I did, I would always be scoping out the nearest bathroom. If you like brother's best friend trope, you will want to pick up a copy of this book.
