Mr. Broody

Disclaimer: I received this book for free from the publisher/author. I am leaving a voluntary review and all opinions are my own.

I was so intrigued by Henry's character when I read the first book in The Nest series. Henry was a single dad who adopted his son and was a professional hockey player. I wanted to know his story. Plus, Bodhi, his son, was so adorable!

Piper Rayne have a writing style that draws the reader in. It is easy to read and flows perfectly. I mesh with it so well. The plot of this book really hooked me. Second-chance romance isn't my top favorite trope but this one really intrigued me. The authors kept me enchanted from start to finish. I loved how the authors executed the plot. This story is more character-driven, but the world-building was easy to imagine and kept me rooted in this story.

These characters were everything! I formed such an attachment to all of the characters in this book, which started when I read Mr. Heartbreaker. These characters grew on me so quickly that they didn't take long to win me over. The addition of secondary characters in this book further solidified my fangirling over these characters. I loved Jade's family so much and paired with Henry's hockey family I was overflowing with glee. This series has some of the best found family and squad goals. The characters have such close relationships and they are ride or die for each other, which I am here for all day long. One of my favorite tropes is found family and Piper Rayne know how to write families that I wish I could be a part of. They write characters that I feel so attached to. All of the characters were distinct and had unique personalities that stood out. I loved the character growth of the main characters.

The romance in this book was absolutely heartwarming. This is a romantic couple that you will want to cheer for from the rooftops. Jade and Henry had intense chemistry that stemmed from knowing each other for so long and from deep-rooted feelings. Their love was entirely genuine and everyone knew that they belonged together.

The audiobook narration was excellent for this book. The narrators and the production were perfect.

Overall, this is a second-chance romance that delivers in every way. This book will get you in the feels. I highly recommend this series for folks who love found family in their stories. If you are a fan of close-knit friend groups then this series should be next on your TBR. Also, if you love seamless writing that draws you in, a strong plot, unforgettable characters, and a swoon-worthy romance then give this series a go.
