ARC Book Review - Crossing the Line: a Teammate’s Sister HockeY Romance, by Quinn Rose

 

Book Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Book Trope: professional hockey romance, brother’s teammate, off limits, surprise pregnancy, protective hero, long distance love, emotionally mature, low drama, high devotion romance.

Leslie Brooks has just moved from Chicago to  where her brother - Landon Brooks, is playing professional hockey. She moved to be closer to him and gain a new experience in a new city. 

Rowan has always been the broody NHL Hockey player. He doesn’t let many people in to his world. He lets even less women in. Once he sees Leslie is is a goner. Rowan knows he needs to know who she is. He is instantly taken with her. 

Both Rowan and Landon make the Olympic Hockey Team. They go out for training for three weeks before the Olympics and then travel over seas for the actual Olympic Games. 
 
For me there were some errors in the books. One month it’s June and Leslie is 5 months pregnant. The next chapter it’s January and she’s seven months along. What happened? Time line is incorrect a few times. Instant ‘mate’ meeting between Leslie and Rowan. People don’t call their loved ones as mates. That is more animal primal talk. When Rowan and Landon go to the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, don’t seem to have any issue with training at that elevation but it should be a struggle breathing, skating, exerting so much energy they will get worn out more because they aren’t use to that elevation. 

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

  Book Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Lila Ferrante, grew up with everyone thinking she had the mind of a 5 year old. Her mother told everyone she was simple minded. Lila grew up as the baby of the family, her older brothers didn’t really spend time with her as she only played with the dolls her mother allowed her to play with. Lila and her mother would go away every summer where she would be tutored in languages, art, history, and she could just be herself on their summer get aways. Lila is deaf but not dumb in the slightest.

  Book Rating:    We meet most of the same characters from Book 1, Bad Bishop. I recommend reading book 1, Bad Bishop as the characters, history are explained. Book 2, picks up where Bad Bishop leaves off.      Book Tropes:  Enemies to Lovers, Second Chance, Morally grey hero,  Obsessed , Stalker, Slow Burn.  Tierney Callaghan & Achilles  met when they were teenagers and they were mostly together dating in secret through their high school days. Tierney and  Tiernan Callaghan  are twins. They were taken as babies and raised in a Russian work camp. They both have  trauma   from that experience.
