Tropes... sports (hockey), slow-burn, roommates-to-lovers romance
"I've come a long way from that awful night, and I'm not going to leave you behind."
—
Baden and Sophie will take you on an emotional rollercoaster, pull at all of your heartstrings, and leave you with a huge book hangover.
Baden takes a job as the new goalie coach for the Pittsburg Titans. Upon arriving in Pittsburg he decides to look up Sophie to see how she is doing after the attack they suffered seven months prior. Sophie is utterly shocked to see Baden standing on her doorstep. Baden refuses to let Sophie face her demons alone and it brings them closer than either of them are sure they are ready to face.
I have been anxiously awaiting Baden's story for a very long time and it did not disappoint in the slightest. Baden, even after everything he has endured, is a total sweetheart and stole my heart right away. Sophie had me cheering her on to overcome her fears and take control, which she does in the most spectacular way. Baden and Sophie stole my heart, had me laughing out loud, and even had me shedding tears.
Baden is a great start to the Pittsburg Titans series which is shaping up to be an amazingly emotional journey of moving forward and finding ways to heal, and I can not wait to read the whole series. Although this can be read as a complete standalone, I highly recommend reading the Arizona Vengeance series to get Baden's full backstory.
