Love doesn’t have a formula. It’s messy, unpredictable, and impossible to control for the autistic billionaire inventor and the hockey player who believes he’s lost everything.
Moral “Dunny” Dunkirk has a passion for life. A robust outdoorsman, lover of life, and one of the Boston Rebels fan favorites, Dunny has always embraced excitement and the drive to try new things. During his inaugural flight behind the controls of a small plane, the fates decide to test his mettle in a way that he had never envisioned. When everything crashes down around him, he’s lost in depression and alone in his cabin, facing an existence that is nothing like the one he previously led. Desperate to find some hope, Dunny reaches out to The Harvey Foundation who might be able to help, and he soon finds himself being lifted out of the pit of darkness he’d fallen into one shy uplifting smile at a time.
Accidental billionaire and inventor Cooper Harvey is only happy in the seclusion of his lab, creating new and wonderful things he is sure will make the world a better place. Being on the spectrum, he knows being autistic means he's different to others, but it's in a good way, and it only makes him better at what he does. Other than being blackmailed into spending every fourth Sunday at his PA’s house for dinner, he avoids the chaos of the world, and if that means no social life, then he’s okay with that. In the most splendid isolation money can buy, he escapes the complicated and difficult emotions surrounding attraction, and his single-minded focus means that sex and love have never appeared on his list. When his latest invention reaches the testing stage, he would normally hand it over to his development team, but a chance meeting with the test subject makes him rethink. Something about the hockey player who’d lost it all makes him think life isn’t all about measured chemical reactions, and sometimes it’s just about the craziness of love.
Usually,
when a book is about a sport, I expect lots and lots of sports action. I’ve
said this before. I now stand corrected in saying that when it came to Blade,
Boston Rebels by Scott & Locey, for this reader, by far the best
book in the series!
Moral
and Cooper had an unconventional pairing. One a pro hockey player attempting to
recovery from catastrophic injury, the other the man who would help heal him-
mind, body, and spirit.
I
adored both these characters. Scott & Locey delivered everything I
would expect with sensitivity, style, and grace. Their understanding of each
other without actively seeking it was a refreshing nuance and left me smiling
as I turned each page.
Even though
the romance was quick, I did not feel as if it was out of place. Both
consenting adults trying to make sense of their respective places in the world.
The authors navigated their story in proper fashion allowing the characters to
speak to them.
