“Hidden…identity…” She underlines it three times. “I love this trope.”

the hidden identity trope in this was alright but what really made this book more captivating was the single parent trope as that one always eats

The characters and the story itself were great. The book really needed more editing. It was about 1/4 too long and the monologues became torturous to get through. I also don’t really buy that the FMC as she’s presented would do the insta family thing with her kid so quickly. And in general, I just can’t stand the trope of a woman who needs a man to heal her body issues.

Holy smokes. What a joy. What a rollercoaster. Unravel Me is heart-wrenching and sexy and so hopeful. Rosie and Adam’s love story is one for the ages. After both having their hearts broken in many different ways and neither of them feeling like they could ever be enough, fate bringing them together warmed my soul to its core.

Was the plot predictable? Absolutely. Did that make it any less charming? Absolutely not.

I adore this book. I adore Adam and Rosie. The best of the series so far.

This took me so long to read. Maybe I wasn’t in the right mood for it. It’s great emotional porn for single moms. Adam was a little too perfect. I love the adoption focus in the book and I wish there were more books out there that included it.

Adam might have overthrown Garrett as my favorite MMC from this series.

There were times when the writing felt repetitive and I found myself skimming over passages, and there didn’t seem to be as much hockey as the other books in the series, but I did enjoy the story! I definitely cried a few times.

Becka Mack’s Vancouver Vipers universe is just the perfect mix of cozy supportive sweetness and hot spicy smut. I just adore all of the characters. Truly some of my favorite scenes are when the entire team and their significant others are together. The family that Becka has created is top notch. This book is definitely an emotional read. Adam and Rosie have such a sweet and tender romance. I love what they bring out in each other and how they are exactly what the other needs. I appreciate their strong communication. Also it needs to be said- Adam is a DILF, his hot hockey dad energy is off the charts. There is no comparison. I absolutely would recommend this book. As with the others in the series my one gripe is that this book does not need to be this long- it’s so long there are two conflicts. It is the perfect read for fans of single parent and found family tropes made even better by the backdrop of a hockey romance.
