If You Love Me by Helena Hunting 💖🏒

💖💖💖💖💖/5

I loved Roman and Lexi in If You Love Me by Helena Hunting, book four in the Toronto Terror series, a wonderful, heartwarming, age-gap, spicy hockey romance that is hot, hot, hot!! Three years prior Roman and Lexi had a weekend fling that ruined them for anyone else. They didn’t exchange last names or phone numbers; making that weekend a memory to never forget. One year ago Lexi’s mother and step-father died in a boating accident, leaving her the guardian of her two half-sisters. With the encouragement of her sisters, Lexi Forrester became the first female assistant hockey coach for the Toronto Terror, at the young age of twenty-nine; having them move to Toronto. Roman Hammerstein is retiring after this season as the Toronto Terror’s long-time goalie and could not believe his eyes when he’s introduced to the new coach. She’s his Lexi, from three years ago; the one he never forgot. With a no fraternization clause, neither one could figure out a way to overcome the attraction and sizzling chemistry that was pulling them together while possibly jeopardize the entire team.

 

Roman was a caretaker. He wanted to help Lexi with her sisters. He would give her insights into team players. He was the “dad” of the team, the mentor, the one everyone turned to. No matter how strong Lexi was, she still wanted Roman; despite the issue that she is the coach and him the player on the team. When a bitter and jealous co-worker, he wanted the assistant coach position Lexi has, causes trouble by spreading rumors, Roman steps in to keep their relationship safe; without ending it,

There was so much to love in this story. The way the Bada$$ girls brought Lexi into their fold and the Terror family. The way everyone rallied around Lexi’s sisters, creating a family for them through kindness and their time. The way Lexi ended the “feud” between Flip and Grace, and the hilarious reason behind it. The way this story gave me all the feels: I laughed, I cried, I smiled, I swooned. I loved the connections made between this series and the Tilton University through their siblings. I can't wait for the next book in this series!
