*I received a free copy of [title] from [publisher] via Netgalley. This has in no way influenced my voluntary review, which is honest and unbiased *Bishop was amazing! I’m so happy Ms. Bennett is branching out with more hockey-players - and both Bishop and Brooke really did it for me.
Story:
There’s a little bit of suspense with Brooke’s friend Nanette, and a whole lot of awesome hockey-talk, relationships between the players, and within the organization at large. Of course, the whole hockey setting is partly what I loved about Bishop, however, the characters really did it for me as well! There's a certain camaraderie among these players, who were let go by their team to start a new team in Arizona.
Because Brooke wanted to make sure her father, the coach, wouldn't be unfair to Bishop, she pretended they were engaged when her father ran in on them kissing in her office. And that is the start of their relationship. I loved that they had more or less fallen for each other already - but both were playing it cool. Mostly this was because neither of them wanted to be the first to admit they had real feelings for the other.
There was a lot of hotness in Biship, but there was also a little bit of anguish, quite a bit of humor, and some opulence. Overall, I am so excited about this first book in a new series, and I just can't wait to see what Ms. Bennett will do with the rest of it.
Characters:
Bishop is such a stand-up guy, I loved him - his chapters made me want to get to know him in real life.
Brooke is exactly the kind of heroine I enjoy reading about - she's smart, funny, a little sarcastic, and just great. If I met her, I'd want to be her friend.
Writing style :
Bishop is written in first person point of view, switching between Bishop's and Brooke's perspective. The present tense made me feel as if I was inside the story with them.
Feels :
All the feels! I was so happy about this story. There was joy, there was romance, there was a little doubt, and there was happiness.
