The Risk Taker: A Brother's Best Friend Hockey Romance

Kudos to Gina Azzi for making a real life situation in this story not just another substance abuse tale but a story of recovering and hope. When Easton comes out of rehab and has to try to beat his alcoholism alone, Indy gives him the best solution so he doesn’t have to be alone. Claire needs to move in and get out of her parents house and if she wants to be completely honest, she’s loved Easton (her brothers best friend ) for as long as she can remember. What could go wrong? There’s a nice balance between these characters and you definitely will love them! We get to see how Indy and Noah are progressing and we get a little glimpse at Rielle and Torsten who will add to the next installment of this fun series!

This is the second book in the series. It's a best friend's sister/brother's best friend troupe. One of my favorite. This book packs in the feels. It's a story that's going to pull at the heartstrings. Easton has a tough road ahead of him still. It's was tough seeing the emotional toll his addiction has on him. Though he has made the hard first step of completing rehab. It also breaks my heart that he feels like a failure to those who are most important to him. Good thing for him he always had Claire in his corner. She is such a light for him. In turn seeing Easton so supportive of Claire's dreams it made my heart so happy. Though it's not going to be easy fighting those inner demons. Easton and Claire are going to be tested in this one. As a reader this book took me on a journey of many ups and downs. Though the end is worth the journey. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series.

Whew!! This story is hotter than Satan's mixtape! I fell hard for Easton Scotch when he was introduced to us in the first book in this series. Don't worry this can totally be read as a stand alone but do yourself a favor and read both! This is Easton and Claire's story. An forever crush and a best friend's younger sister are the premises for this newest book in the Boston Hawks series. Fresh from rehab, Easton is struggling to get back to a new normal. Hockey has been the only constant in his life and he has to fight for his spot back. Claire has loved Easton for as long as she can remember and she becomes the light to Easton's darkness. This book is about co-dependency and the effect it has on relationships. Claire and Easton's relationship was insta-love and I could empathize with both of them on managing the bumps and setbacks in their relationship. I applaud how they both fixed each other and themselves. This series has just been getting better and better! I can't wait for the next story and maybe more! There's a couple of players I have my eye on!
