ARC Book Review - Sweet Oblivion (Love & Legacy #4), by Bella Matthews

 


Book Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 

Book Trope: Football Romance, Marriage of Convenience, Spicy Lessons, Man Obsessed, He Falls First and HARD, Virgin FMC, ASL 

Back to our favorite small town, Kroydon Hills. We have Ryker Beneventi. He plays professional football. He lost his hearing in a accident when he was younger. It wasn't just his parents who learned sign language, it was the entire family and extended family all learned so he would be included in everything. He does wear hearing aids that have really helped him when he can't read lips or misses the signing.   

We met Delaney towards the end of book #3, Sweet Surrender. Delaney is 24 and Ashton's older sister. Delaney works the local bar and small store. She has an apartment over the small store. Delaney is very skiddish. She had a rough childhood / teenage years. Delaney doesn't drink, or do drugs, and she's also a virgin. She has been around guys but never been with one she wanted to sleep with. 

At the beginning of the book, we see how Ryker and his NFL team are out celebrating at the bar where Delany works. Ryker has been non stop staring at her the whole time they have been there. He wants to ask her out but isn't sure if it'll spook her away. But, when he can't find her after a few minutes towards the end of her shift, he goes outback and finds that someone has already beat her up and is now trying to assault her. Ryker pulls the person off of her. They won't allow him in the  ambulance to go to the hospital, so, he says he is her husband. Now the crowd gathered around heard that. All the celebrity news outlets are stating he's married. 

After Delaney is released from the hospital Ryker won't let her out of his sight. He takes her back to her apartment to rest and then just stays with her. He doesn't want anyone else to ever hurt her. He wants to protect her, to guard her and to be with her. Delaney doesn't trust easily, and she sees how hard Ryker is trying and she has always like him and she is at ease with him. 

Will Ryker be able to protect Delaney from anything else that comes at her / them? Will Delaney be able to brush up on her ASL quick enough to communicate with Ryker? 

I did receive a free ARC Copy of this book. I am freely leaving a honest book review.

We have Leonid, Kody, Frankie and Monty. Monty has opened his home / island to Leonid, Kody & Frankie to live in and recover. The three take the guest house next to the main house Monty is in.  Frankie starts getting text messages and phone calls from a blocked / restricted number. No one is sure who is sending them.
