If You Need Me by Helena Hunting

 πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–/5




I loved Hemi and Dallas in If You Need Me by Helena Hunting, book three in the Toronto Terror series, is a wonderful and funny enemies to lovers, fake dating, only one bed, golden retriever, childhood crush, hockey romance that is heartwarming and full of sizzling spice that is hot, hot, hot!! Trigger Warning: anxiety, panic attacks, misogyny, brief mention of adoption, mentions of childhood and workplace bullying

 

Dallas Bright, a hockey player for the Terror, has secretly loved Wilhelmina “Hemi” Reddi-Grinst since the third grade, despite the fact she can’t stand him. In charge of the hockey team’s PR Hemi has to work with Dallas whether she wants to or not, while he will do anything to get Hemi’s attention; even signing up for all of her PR photo shoots, just to be close to her. Hemi gives him the worst tasks, as she feels it fair since he picked on her all through school and made her life miserable.

 

With their high school reunion coming up, Hemi is determined to return to her hometown with a boyfriend and show her graduating class she has moved on and is successful. Unfortunately all of her dates have been awful. One drunken night Dallas posts a photo of them together, leading everyone to believe they are really dating. Hemi wants anything but that, however, she agrees to go along with it for the sake of her job and Dallas’ time with the Terror. They work at convincing everyone they are together, and Hemi starts to see a different side to Dallas.

 

Hemi was such a relatable character. She feels like she doesn’t fit into this world, and that like most people, Dallas will find her being too much. Her fears and insecurities were very real and heartbreaking. When we started to see the things Dallas had done to help and protect Hemi throughout their history it was so loving and endearing. Flip is going through something but I suspect he is not the Terror up next. I so need more Terror in my life and look forward to the next book in the series.

πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’– /5   Snowball Unwrapped by Kristen McKanagh, book four in the Snowball series, isn’t so much about Snowball the resident cat, it’s about the budding romance assisted by the imaginative and crafty cat.
