Because of her RA diagnosis, she uses a cane for assistance while walking. She is diagnosed with autism at the age of 13, followed by an additional diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis at 17. She is smart, independent, and full of the kind of confidence that can only be achieved by the extremely self-aware–she knows who she is and what she wants. Always Only You is #OwnVoices story for its portrayal of autism by an autistic author.įrankie (Francesca) Zeferino is one of my favorite heroines of all time.
This hockey romance is a deliciously tortuous slow burn with unforgettable banter and includes some of my favorite tropes: the grumpy one (with a secret heart of gold) and the sunshine one, unexpected roommates, forbidden love, and even some sickbed scenes. Frankie and Ren are hilarious, heartfelt perfection, Willa and Ryder are back, and there is even more of the Bergman family drama I have already come to love so very much. My heart–not to mention my ovaries–barely survived this one. *This is an #OwnVoices story for its portrayal of autism by an autistic author.Īnother absolutely perfect romance by Chloe Liese. Complete with a meddling secretary, tantric yoga torture, and a scorching slow burn, this standalone is the second in a series of novels about a Swedish-American family of five brothers, two sisters, and their wild adventures as they each find happily ever after. Now, opening my heart to anyone, no matter how sweet, is the last thing I’m prepared to do.Īlways Only You is an opposites-attract, forbidden love sports romance about a nerdy, late-blooming hockey star, and his tough cookie coworker who keeps both her soft side and her autism diagnosis* to herself. I’m a grumbly grump and his ridiculously good nature drives me nuts, but even I can’t entirely ignore that hot tamale of a ginger with icy eyes, the perfect playoff beard, and a body built for sin that he’s annoyingly modest about.īefore I got wise, I would have tripped over myself to get a guy like Ren, but with my diagnosis, I’ve learned what I am to most people in my life-a problem, not a person. I’ve had a problem at work since the day Ren Bergman joined the team: a six foot three hunk of happy with a sunshine smile. I just hope that when she leaves the team and I tell her how I feel, she won’t want to leave me behind, too.
Frankie won’t be here forever-she’s headed for bigger, better things. I’m a player on the team, she’s on staff, and as long as we work together, dating is off-limits. Deadpan delivery, secret heart of gold, and a rare one-dimpled smile that makes my knees weak, Frankie has been forbidden since the day she and I became coworkers, meaning waiting has been the name of my game-besides, hockey, that is. The moment I met her, I knew Frankie Zeferino was someone worth waiting for.
