Two for Charging by Lasairiona McMaster
5.0
4.5 stars. Clare, the female lead, is a single mum raising two teenagers, the first conceived shortly after Elliott, the male lead and her former best friend and first love, left town to pursue professional hockey. Now, two decades later, Elliott is back in town and the coach of the local college hockey team. When they keep running into each other, maybe they can make something of this…
This story is dual POV, well written, and a great contemporary second chance romance. I enjoyed the interactions between both primary and secondary characters, especially Clare’s children and some of Elliott’s hockey players. I laughed out loud at some of the banter and awkwardness and general shenanigans that Clare and Elliott got up to. I appreciated Elliott’s continual encouragement of Clare, boosting her self-esteem and pushing her to make some choices for herself, something that is a genuine struggle for mothers everywhere. I also understood each of their struggles to put aside the pain they’d incurred from others and not inflict it on each other and their relationship. I appreciate the realism of this author’s stories and really empathised with these characters. I also enjoyed that, whilst it stands alone, it is enhanced by having read the others in the series.
I received a complimentary copy from the author and this is my voluntary honest review.
