AIDEN is the second book in the GAMES-Diamond Ridge Mountain Men series and it is a sweet and sexy novella with emotion and heart.
At thirty-three Aiden Carter finds himself having moved back to his home town of Elk River to look after his mother. But it was also a time for a change so he retired from playing MLS for the San Francisco Badgers and now he is an Officer in the Diamond County Sheriff’s department. He father had passes several years previously and his mother was diagnosed with breast cancer and has just finished her last chemo treatment. The community tried to look after her but when she said she needed him his heart broke and he came home.
Teagan Lowell has had a hard year. Her mother died from breast cancer a year ago and she had been playing professional soccer for the Las Vegas Chips team when she tore her ACL in her knee and ended up having it repaired with a cadaver one. She has gone through rehab and physio but her professional playing days are over and her team let her go. Her eighty-two year old grandmother, Rosie Lowell, had phoned her up and said she needed her to come and look after her. So Teagan packed up and drove from Vegas to Elk River to look after her for a short period of time. The only problem is that Rosie is “a faker” as she just wanted Teagan’s company. So Teagan has no job and is now living with her grandmother, who is a very lively “character”.
Teagan is out on one of the fields in the early morning before anyone else is up doing drills and practicing with her soccer ball. She looks up and finds a man following her same routine on the opposite side of the field, mimicking her. Annoyance gets to her and he continues to do this so she takes it to midfield meeting him there and they have some fun together. But she gets passed him and … she shots … she scores … she wins … That is until she turns around in her victory dance and finds the man writhing on the ground holding his knee. She has just met Aiden but it turns out he is a big faker just like her grandmother. But when he takes her for breakfast, after apologizing, they get to talking and there is a major spark between them, with some thoughts on both sides of a possible future.
This is a wonderfully written and fun, entertaining, laugh out loud and grin at story. Teagan and Aiden are both starting over, but they are at different places along that journey. Aiden fell for Teagan immediately and he fell hard, no faking. Teagan is not sure she can trust, as men are all takers from her. So Aiden has to gain Teagan’s trust and faith in him, which he does. I absolutely loved Grandma Rosie. She is the crazy grandma who midnight streaks through town every year, goes dancing every week, is trying to nail down a man, will fleece her own granddaughter at poker and is a wise cracking character. Yep she is the grandmother we all wish we could have and would be in the future……….full of life and love!!!
lovely story, good romance, fun characters with good chemistry .. a great grandma..LOL. I really enjoyed it, this is a series to follow. from me 5 stars
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
This is the second book in this fun series where the characters live in the area of Diamond Ridge but also have a connection to sport in some way. In this latest offering the connection is soccer Teagan played at the highest levels and is recovering from major knee surgery she will never play at that level again She also has her walls firmly in pace as every man in her life ghas wanted to use her either for her money or her fame Aiden also played soccer at an elite level but he spent just as much time on the bench as the field and as now decided to start is life over away from sport. He sees her training on the field and is instantly attracted but can he get her to trust him and give them a chance
Brynn Hale is an author not to miss! She is an automatic, stop what you’re doing and READ! This story is no exception. It is a cute story, sweet and sexy. Aiden is a man who knows what he wants, and that is Teagan. Teagan is strong, but floundering. Her dream has ended, and now she must figure out a new way to live. She had bad luck with men, been hurt multiple times. But she never saw Aiden coming. Sexy and strong and just a genuinely good guy, Aiden is not about to walk away from Teagan, proving to her that good men do exist. Add in a grandma with no shame, and you have a cast of characters that are easy to fall in love with!
** spoiler alert ** Aiden can’t help, but be drawn to the woman he sees practicing on the field. Teagan struggles with letting others close. Will Teagan give them a chance? Will Aiden find the connection he was searching for?
Loved this steamy quick read. I didn’t blame Teagan for being scared, but loved when she allowed herself to fall. I loved how Aiden was one of the good guys and was determined to prove it to her. Good read
“Aiden’s ready to make moves on the adorable Teagan, but she’s the one that’s got the moves on the playing field.” Loved this story. Really cute, wonderful, funny, sweet, steamy, and romantic. Grandma Rosie is a hoot.
I received an ARC copy from the ARC group, and am voluntarily leaving a honest review.
I laughed and I smiled at this and I may have shed a tear or two. Aiden and Teagan have been through a lot and finally found that peace with each other. Loved this story! Now I can’t wait to see what happens with Becker.
I voluntarily reviewed an arc of this book.
This is the second book in the Games- Diamond Ridge Mountain Men series, it’s a well-written standalone novella, it’s quick to read with a sweet storyline, both Aiden and Teagan are wonderful characters, I loved the interaction between them.
