I’m loving this amazing series by Ms. Suzanne. With each book I’m so enjoying getting to know all the Bradley siblings and watching them metamorphosis into different people than they thought they were all meant to be courtesy of their father and his obsession with “Legacy.”
This book centers around Everleigh Bradley and Maverick Jennings and how they’re literally forced to spend time with each other. Everleigh is sent to Las Vegas to help reframe the public’s perception of Maverick which isn’t great thanks to how obstinate he is since he was recently traded to the Aces. This man has a huge chip on his shoulder and when he’s told that it’s Everleigh or the highway, he begrudgingly agrees. Little does he know that not only does Everleigh not want this assignment, she has no desire to spend anytime with a football player whatsoever. I loved the setup for this because I just knew that these two were going to clash and it was going to be hot, hot, hot!!
As these two dance around each other, Maverick has a past that has defined who he is today and it’s heartbreaking. The more he begins to trust Everleigh, not only does their relationship change from a purely business arrangement to finally giving in to the insanely intense chemistry. I mean my eyes were wide as I listened to Liam DiCosimo and Stefanie Kay give me a play by play of their coming together! These two are well matched in this area of their relationship that’s for sure.
Everleigh has so much patience with this man. It’s something he hasn’t had in a very long time and I started to fall in love with him too just like Everleigh. There’s this cinnamon roll lurking inside this man and I was captivated with how much he changed as he realized it’s okay to feel emotions that he’s pushed down for years. There were some very touching moments throughout this book that had me tearing up too.
Not only do we see a change in Maverick, Everleigh has some tough moments in this book especially when it come to her family. There’s a turning point that literally dictates both of their futures. The “legacy” that her Dad is so focused on, has ramifications that affect everyone in this book. I may have been doing a fist pump at certain times because, it was a beautiful thing because sometimes people need to get their comeuppance!
Overall this is the perfect next book in this series. I loved both Everleigh and Maverick so much. The narrators did a phenomenal job of bringing their story to life and I’m very confident I’ll be doing a re-listen in the very near future!
