Superfan by Sarina Bowen

Superfan (Brooklyn Bruisers, #7)

by Sarina Bowen

Sometimes lady luck shakes your hand, and sometimes she smacks your face. Sometimes she does both on the same day.

Three years ago I met the most amazing girl in the world. We were both down on our luck. Then I got that call—the one that tells you to get your buns on a plane to go meet your destiny.

But the girl was left behind. I didn’t have her phone number, and she didn’t know my real name.

While I became a professional hockey player, she became a superstar, with platinum records and legions of fans. And a slick, music producer boyfriend who treated her badly.

But fate wasn’t done with us yet. When Delilah turns up at a hockey game, I can’t resist making contact. The internet swoons when I ask her out on a date.

She might not remember me. But her jerkface ex does. He’ll do anything to keep us apart. 

Good thing athletes never give up. This time I’m playing to win.

A second chance for a Spark to ignite...

****4.5 Stars****

I honestly thought by the title, that the Superfan was going to be the heroine. I guess after 'meeting' the Bruisers I just assumed that all the women were going gaga over them as much as I am. How utterly captivated I was to learn that the Superfan was Silas, the goalie, over Delilah Spark. Sure, I was having a doey moment considering I know that Silas has a wee bit of an infatuation with Ms Spark. But, in true narrow-minded...I've read too much romance...judgement, I automatically assumed a sports romance hero would have a Superfan. Me and my silly *going in blind* mentality. I don't have to check a blurb to preorder a Sarina Bowen, Brooklyn, it's just an auto-buy.

I really enjoyed this second chance at love story and it reinforced my opinion that Sarina Bowen's hockey guys are THE BEST!! Silas is one of the sweetest guys EVER. He is not egotistical, self-serving or arrogant, if anything, he's the complete opposite. I absolutely loved his devotion to Delilah that kicked in from almost the minute they met. It was even sweeter considering their first meeting was before either of them became a sports star or rockstar. It was cute and sweet but unfortunately just not the right time for either of them. Circumstances split them apart and it will be years before they get a chance to see if their initial feelings were worth exploring.

Superfan is the kind of story that leaves me completely satisfied. The storyline kept me captivated from start to finish. The characters were fun, original and completely lovable. The baddie made my skin crawl, and the additional characters were fun and came to life for me. I enjoyed seeing Silas and Delilah connect both in the bedroom and out, and my heart beat that wee bit quicker at their first touch. I was left very happy in the end.

If you're looking for an entertaining sports romance with lots of heart, a few laughs and plenty of steamy bits, I highly recommend giving Sarina Bowen's, Bruiser's a go.
