Sometimes forbidden is far too tempting…a single dad, grumpy sunshine hockey romance and latest standalone in the addictive and emotional Storm Brothers series by USA Today bestselling author Melissa Belle.

Liam Storm is sinfully gorgeous. He’s a single dad and a hockey star with no room for romance.
To me, he is simply off-limits. Forbidden.

Not. An. Option.

I repeat these three words to myself as I climb into Liam’s vehicle for an unexpected getaway ride from a drama I never should have gotten involved in.

I promise myself I’ll thank Liam for the ride and then wave him goodbye.

The last thing I need is to get attached to a grumpy hockey star whose priorities will always be his daughter and his job.

But as Liam continues to do the unexpected, I realize that maybe goodbye won’t be as easy as I think it will be.

Haley & Liam: Storm Brothers Book 4. This is a standalone, and it was the first in this series that I read. I am excited to read the other in this series now. Liam is a single dad and a grumpy hockey star. She is besties with his twin brothers’ fiancées, but Liam and Haley didn’t really get off to a great start. They are both instantly attracted to each other, but they fight it and come off as rude to each other. When she bumps into him with this daughter at the airport, they both help each other out, and it shifts their relationship. I really enjoyed this book and I am excited to read more from Melissa Belle.

I received this book with the understanding that I could leave a voluntary and honest review.

In this book we get Haley Laine & Liam Storm. Haley has come to New Orleans to meet her birth mother. After getting into the airport she learns that her birth mother isn't coming. Crying she ends up in the first class lounge and runs directly into her Liam. Liam isn't looking for a woman and after their first meeting he is sure Haley isn't looking for him either. When he learns that she is stuck in New Orleans his brother and soon to be new sister-in-law talk him into a road trip that will have them riding together to Montana. Can they find a HEA or will the road trip break them forever?

Another amazing story by this author. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

This is the best Storm yet. Single Dad, Liam has two goals in life, his hockey career and giving his all to his daughter. Not willing to risk his heart or disrupting Lulus life with women coming in and out. But this spitfire of a woman peak his interest, but he is sticking to his promise to himself. Until she changes his mind. A unexpected co-pilot on his solitary road trip changes his view and an arrangement ignites sparks he is not willing to put out.

A slow seduction, but heat off the charts. A wonderful ending for all the Storms.

Hailey & Liam have met before due to her friends & his brothers being in relationships or working together. They've appeared not to get along but it seems that both are attracted but sure it couldn't work and so avoid each other. The road trip has a slow build of chemistry, lust, fighting attraction at first that develops quickly once they arrive at the Texas ranch.
The pacing felt good and Liam was true to the previous books. The banter between them and the interactions with Lulu were great, a good mix of emotions.

Saved the best for last

I can't believe the series is over and you saved Liam for the best and last story. You have shown that even the toughest can have a second chance at love. Haley is in New Orleans to meet her birth mother, but that doesn't happen. Instead she runs into Liam (literally) and they find that a fresh trip will heal them, or they hope it will.
I am definitely going to read about the Wild boys now.
