RATING: ⭐⭐⭐⭐.5
SPICE: 🔥🔥🔥
It is always bittersweet to bid goodbye to any of Gina Azzi's series. The Tennessee Thunderbolts in particular is a favorite of mine, and I felt like ending the series with River Patton's story was the ultimate icing on a brilliant cake of a series.
River Patton has been dubbed as the team bad boy. He isn't quite sure why. Sure, he isolates himself from his teammates and does as he pleases (within team rules, of course), but his reputation has definitely made him off-limits to the likes of Lola Daire. Too bad his heart and his certain parts did not quite get the memo his brain sent out that his teammate's daughter is a red zone.
Lola is tired of following the rules. She has a few months until she graduates college, and she's ready to let loose a little before she jumps into the hectic world of the working class. What better to enjoy life a little than tease the one man she's held a crush on for a while?
I love this read. River and Lola have amazing chemistry that has me cheering for them despite the odds against them. River has certainly matured over the series from the guy I wanted to sucker-punch during Maisy's blueberry muffins incident in Book 2 to this thoughtful romantic.
This read went so quickly for me. The pacing was great, and I love how we get previous characters involved in the story. It also has very little angst if that is what you're looking for right now. Gina Azzi did a great job of tying everything up so seamlessly that it was almost sad to see the words The End.
Even though it is the final book in the series, it can be read as a standalone.
Like I said, it is hard to say goodbye to this series and its wonderful characters. I am looking forward to Gina Azzi's new series.

ABOUT THE BOOK
Word on the ice: the only thing worse than knocking up your teammate’s sister is knocking up his daughter.
I have no business tangling up with Lola Daire. She’s a smart, idealistic, college senior planning to take on Silicon Valley. I’m an angry NHL player with a chip on my shoulder.
She smiles rainbows; I spit fire. She’s a daddy’s girl; I’m the last guy her father wants her to date.
A man with my past and demons will only corrupt a good woman. I know better than to give in to her playful flirting, but when Lola finds herself in a compromising situation, I break the rules to keep her safe.
We have nothing in common, save for the attraction we feel. We have no future, except for the moments that stretch between us. But our desire is insatiable. Our chemistry, off-the-charts.
One night turns into more and our casual understanding takes an unexpected turn.
I may be the cliché bad boy, but my downfall is the good girl with a baby on the way.
