She's rainbows and sunshine, he's dark and bad-tempered. She's nothing but smiles, he's nothing but frowns. But somehow, they fit together perfectly.
A Grumpy/Sunshine love affair awaits! Book Two in The San Antonio Hyenas series featuring hockey's toughest player and the girl who steals his heart. Insta-love at its finest with no cheating and a super sweet HEA always guaranteed.

Love the grumpy-sunshine trope. This was insta-love, but that's to be expected with OTT. I had fun reading this, and I really enjoyed how much Jane is a go-getter. She never held back when it came to expressing her feelings for Tucker. Maybe it's the writing style, but I did enjoy reading her straightforwardness. Usually, this attitude comes off as desperate in some stories, but that's not the case here. She had me laughing with her boldness, and I'm here for all of it. 😂
I love that Tucker is a gentle giant with her. Though they started on the wrong foot, I admire how he acknowledged his behavior and apologized for it. Of course, I love it even more how he got it so bad for her. Like I said, it was insta-love, and he knew right then how much he's f*cked. 😂
Anyway, I enjoyed it. This is way better than the first book, imo. There's no ambiguity, and of course, it's totally safe.

Cute, sweet and safe
I enjoyed this but some stuff I was like… 🤦🏼♀️what is she doing lol…..
Like going upstairs into a master bedroom and then bathroom of a man who you JUST MET. Seeing that he is IN THE BATH…. You go into the room and talk to him!!???????? 😂😂😂😂😂 all I could do was laugh. Especially when she asked to clean his wounds… after only having one convo and just meeting him hours before…. HIS BATHROOM WHERE HE IS TAKING A BATH! 🤯🤯🤯 ok I’ll go with it I mean the H is. V. So I’ll look past a lot
There was a few times where is was like… what is happening. Mostly just cause it’s a novella I could look past the flow of stuff.
But I still enjoyed the short safe read.
And I love me a V H
Duel V!!!

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU Olivia T Turner for the DUAL VIRGIN ROMANCE!!! *booty shake, happy dance!!* I am beaming right now I am so happy!
Safe
DUAL VIRGIN (each others first everything!)
No cheating
No OM
No OW (light unwanted OW, a waitress tries to show cleavage but Tucker has only eyes for Jane and didn't even notice, and in the beginning a lady at the game with a poster saying she loves him, but he is not interested. LOVE IT when the OW attention is unwanted! It was very quick to establish that women don't interest him...until his Jane!)
No separation
No gross condom use
HEA with such swoon worthy and sweet epilogues, (8 years and 30 years later epilogues, and these two are still madly in love).
I enjoyed this so much. A large, growly, menacing alpha, known for hulk smashing his opponents, and a sweet tiny, sassy heroine that stole his heart.
Jane is hired to remodel Tuckers closets and made lots of noise. Tucker just finished a hockey game and is trying to relax, but forgot that he is getting his closets remodeled, so he marches up to yell thinking it is an intruder only to find Jane and Alina (heroine from the first book in the series), and he was rude in the beginning, but Jane held her ground, looking up at this giant and telling her what she thinks! He apologized soon after and she accepts his apology then tends to his wounds. Tucker falls hard for Jane. Women and relationships are foreign to him, and he knows he is a brute, so he is scared to hurt her, but she just hops over this wall he erected around him and convinces him that he is worthy of love, and to be taken care of. It made me melt when she gave him flowers and his response, and even more, it made me want to hug this gentle giant (gentle ONLY to his Jane), when he said in his inner monologue he felt safe with her. There is something so sweet and endearing when the hero shows his vulnerable side and melts in the little arms of his one and only love for comfort.
June is sunshine in a pint sized woman, but she knows that her Tucker was meant to pounce and punch his opponents on the ice. She sees that he refrains the violence on and off the ice for her sake, and in response she shows him by cheering him on that he can unleash the beast! I love that she supports him and I love that he was willing to put her above everything, including what he is known for on the ice, the brutish enforcer. *Swoon* I just loved their story so much, they complement each other so well! The sex in this story was hot and steamy! (Get yourself a glass of ice cold water before reading *wink*)
Please read it, it is a short novella and worth your time and will leave you with a smile on your face. This is a love story that I will reread again and again and again! I am still swooning and I am hoping Olivia T Turner will write more dual virgin romances in future.
Next up in the series is Harris and his second chance romance, the girl that got away comes back after a long separation. I don't like second chance romances especially when lots of years have passed, so I might skip it.
Happy reading!

“What’s on your mind, Mr. McKinstry?” she asks in a husky throaty voice.
“You. Always you.”

Tucker & Jane
I thought I’d like this more than I did lol. Tucker was a good mmc the usual ott/p/j but Jane got on my nerves with her “no violence” thing, like girl he’s an enforcer on a hockey team get real. But overall it was okay
Steam-1.5/3 one big scene, breeding kink but not detailed. Double V

Wow I really loved this story❤️ The big bad grumpy enforcer that fell head over heels for his sunshine. Jane saw Tucker and instantly fell for the grumpy misjudged hockey player. Tucker always thought he would never have a woman or a family, but everything changes when he meets Jane for the first time. Instalove, sweet, steamy, romantic , fun to read, with a bunch of hockey action and totally safe (I freaking adore dual virgin stories- sue me 😉) with an awesome HEA😍😍😍😍 Can't wait for the next story in this series 👍

4.5 out of 5
What a delightful surprise this hockey, grumpy/sunshine romance turned out to be.
Tucker plays pro hockey. He’s big and he’s tough and. The team enforcer. But off the ice he’s just as sweet as can be. He and Jane meet when she visits his house with her boss who designs and builds custom closets. He’s in full grump mode and orders them to leave. Jane calls him on his boorish and he’s smitten that this much smaller woman would stand up to this big, bad tough guy. And Jane is just as smitten, sensing he’s not all the tough Tucker that everyone else thinks he is.
This is a short novella that I finished in just a few hours but they were great hours. I want more of this series from this author! I got this one on KU and hopefully they all are available through that program.
I just had one small issue that didn’t take the enjoyment away but I did take half a point off for. While I accept fighting can be part of the game and Tucker gets into a couple of vicious fights that were quite descriptive, I don’t like that aspect of the game and would have preferred less vivid details.

San Antonio Hyenas enforcer Tucker (H32) may be a brute on the ice, but he meets his match when Jane (h) comes into his life, taking none of his guff. He finds himself drawn to the sweet younger woman who manages to bring out his softer side. Things quickly heat up between the two, but Tucker will have to learn to balance his desire to make Jane happy and his need to unleash on the ice. Sweet and spicy grumpy-sunshine hockey romance.
March 10, 2024
This was a grumpy/sunshine sports romance.
I enjoyed this sweet and steamy quick read. The characters were realistic and the story was well written. Would recommend.
Jane is a rainbows and sunshine kind of person. She works as a receptionist at a custom closet company.
Tucker McKinstry plays for the San Antonio Hyenas hockey team. He is grumpy, bad tempered, and gruff.
Jane and her boss Alina (his teammate Sebastian's fiance) go to his house to begin working on the three custom closets Alina talked him into getting. After he doesn't answer the gate buzzer, Alina lets them into his house using the codes he provided. As they begin working he storms downstairs thinking he is being robbed. He grumbles at them but Jane stands up to him and he goes back upstairs. He leaves them a lunch he made so later Jane goes upstairs to thank him and finds him in the tub. She cleans the wounds he received during a fight the night before. Next morning she goes early bringing him flowers and he makes her breakfast. He has already fallen for her and she is quickly falling for him. She goes to a game with Alina to see him play where he is determined not to fight so she doesn't see that part of him. His rival Murddok starts bullying his teammates then goes after him. Jane tells him to get him and he does. They confess their feelings and get their HEA.

This is book two in our San Antonio Hyena Series. And I think my favorite of all her books!🥰 This is an insta love and duel V cards.
The Enforcer is the most violent player on the ice. That is exactly what Tucker McKenstry, our MMC is. He’s hugh big, muscled and aggressive!
Jane, our MFC works for Alina, Sebastian’s (Tuckers fellow player) fiance. They remodel clauses and got a gig doing Tuckers.
As far as first impressions goes..the one between Jane and Tucker was a firefight😂. It was after a game where each teams enforcer had beat down on the other. Tucker won but was still beat up and suffering a headache. Their making noise was not appreciated!😁
There are back stories to Tucker but I’ll not spoil any more of this sweet romance than I need to.
Tucker is instantly smitten with Jane. Here’s this little pint size girl coming right back at his growler self. He falls in love instantly. She is HIS! Jane’s a tad bit slower in realizing her love for Tucker but was pretty much instantly in love too.
It’s growly vs. sunshiny, guess who wins😁. This is an awesome, feel good book by an awesome writer. I highly suggest you read it. It’s SEXY HOT! The story lingering with you.😛You will not be disappointed ! Find out how these two opposites come together and complete each other, having the best of happy forever...🥰🥰🥰.

How can you rate and review a book that's less than a hundred pages? No real plot, no character development, but it kept me reading.
September 9, 2024
My reviews always contain spoilers, I write them so I can remember the story.
Tucker is the enforcer for the San Antonio Hyenas, he’s the toughest guy in the league, he feels he’s a monster that doesn’t deserve love or a woman. All that changes when he meets Jane.
If he’s all grump, growly, and darkness she’s bubbly, bright, and sunshine.
Jane was the receptionist at a closet company in Colorado, when her boss Alina moves to San Antonio to be with her hockey player fiancé she brings Jane with her to help run their new office. She meets Tucker when they go to his house to design his closets.
The night before he had been in a fight with the league’s second best enforcer, Maddock and is a bit banged up. Jane is wary of him but when he’s mean to her and Alina she stands up to him. It was great to see her stand up for herself and Alina, she didn’t back down and even demanded an apology. Which Tucker didn’t give in words, he shows in actions, he left them to complete their job and went to his kitchen and made them sandwiches for lunch. Jane is touched by his gesture and wants to thank him. She goes looking for him and finds him soaking in the tub. His face still has dried up blood on it from the night before. She helps clean up his wounds and bandages him up. He asks her why she being nice to him and she tells him it’s nice to be kind. He fall headlong into love with her.
She comes over the next morning and little early to check on him. He’s been up for hours waiting for her. He makes her breakfast and they get to know one another. What Jane learns of his sad past just reinforces her opinion that he is a good man. Tucker was raised by his stepfather after his mom died, he was tough on him and taught him hockey and how to fight with brutal lessons everyday.
Jane goes to her first hockey game with Alina and enjoys it very much. After the game they go to a club for dinner and dancing. They share their first kiss on the dance floor. It was so sweet and hot. It’s ruined when Maddock wanting to rile him up, pushes Tucker from behind causing him to bump Jane. She’s injured and he feels awful. He wants to breakup with her because he caused her harm, she’s not going to let him. She actually seduces him on the drive home. She gives him a blowjob that blows his mind. At his place he returns the favor with kitchen island oral. Very sexy, upstairs in bed they enjoy more sexy times, dual virgins!
At the next game Maddock is not playing fair but Tucker doesn’t want to scare Jane with his fighting so he doesn’t engage. But, when Maddock goes to far she tells him to “kick his ass”. That’s all he needed to hear, Maddock gets the beat down hard. After he dumps the player near the away teams bench he skates back over the Jane and tells her through the glass he loves her. She yells back she loves him too. Cute epilogues eight years later with Tucker retired, they have three little girls and Jane is pregnant with their son. She now director of their closet company and thirty years later still madly in love. Tucker and Maddock are now friends, go figure only men can beat the crap out of each other then become friends.
Tucker and Jane were so sweet, love a big giant grumpy guy who falls first.

Which Tucker didn’t give in words, he shows in actions, he left them to complete their job and went to his kitchen and made them sandwiches for lunch. Jane is touched by his gesture and wants to thank him. She goes looking for him and finds him soaking in the tub. His face still has dried up blood on it from the night before. She helps clean up his wounds and bandages him up. He asks her why she being nice to him and she tells him it’s nice to be kind. He fall headlong into love with her.
She comes over the next morning and little early to check on him. He’s been up for hours waiting for her. He makes her breakfast and they get to know one another. What Jane learns of his sad past just reinforces her opinion that he is a good man. Tucker was raised by his stepfather after his mom died, he was tough on him and taught him hockey and how to fight with brutal lessons everyday.
Jane goes to her first hockey game with Alina and enjoys it very much. After the game they go to a club for dinner and dancing. They share their first kiss on the dance floor. It was so sweet and hot. It’s ruined when Maddock wanting to rile him up, pushes Tucker from behind causing him to bump Jane. She’s injured and he feels awful. He wants to breakup with her because he caused her harm, she’s not going to let him. She actually seduces him on the drive home. She gives him a blowjob that blows his mind. At his place he returns the favor with kitchen island oral. Very sexy, upstairs in bed they enjoy more sexy times, dual virgins!
At the next game Maddock is not playing fair but Tucker doesn’t want to scare Jane with his fighting so he doesn’t engage. But, when Maddock goes to far she tells him to “kick his ass”. That’s all he needed to hear, Maddock gets the beat down hard. After he dumps the player near the away teams bench he skates back over the Jane and tells her through the glass he loves her. She yells back she loves him too. Cute epilogues eight years later with Tucker retired, they have three little girls and Jane is pregnant with their son. She now director of their closet company and thirty years later still madly in love. Tucker and Maddock are now friends, go figure only men can beat the crap out of each other then become friends.
Tucker and Jane were so sweet, love a big giant grumpy guy who falls first.

This was a generally enjoyable, over-the-top sports romance novella.
The beginning scene was so well-written that I felt on the edge of my seat, and I’m not even a sports person. The anticipation was incredible. I wish that pacing was included a bit more throughout the novel. That sense of urgency didn’t show up anywhere else in the book.
I have not yet read the first book in this series, but I don’t think that should matter since each book can be read as a stand-alone.
I like over-the-top stories (and wrote an entire blog post about it on readingromance.club), but it is also important that they still feel believable even if they are unrealistic.
Discussion of believability, if you care about that:
The hockey fights were so exaggerated that it took me out of the story a little bit. I don’t typically watch sports, but I am a naturally curious person, and things have to make sense to me or I can’t continue reading.
I ended up googling whether or not hockey fights are actually like this and if refs are as useless as they are portrayed. While I know the ref thing is a common theme in sports fiction, it still seems too unbelievable for me to stay fully engaged in those scenes.
However, the most unbelievable part was that only one person on the entire Hyenas team (Tucker) would fight back. If they’re all big and tough, why would all the other players let themselves get beat on without defending themselves?
When hockey fights do happen in real life, they often turn into an all-out brawl where everyone gets involved. And even if the refs don’t physically intervene, they ultimately do enforce the rules most of the time. They have discretion when it comes to grey areas, but the would not all-out ignore random, unprovoked punches and whacks with a hockey stick.
A hockey brawl most likely wouldn’t be one-on-one like every game between Tucker and Maddock was in the book. And it definitely wouldn’t consistently end with one player beating the other unconscious and then dragging him off the ice, which is Tucker’s signature move from the beginning so this is not a spoiler. It’s also not believable that they would punch each other’s helmets off. The NHL takes concussions seriously, so intentionally knocking people unconscious would not be a routine, nor would the coach encourage it.
I also had a really hard time believing the first intimate scene between the characters, but I won’t spoil it by explaining in my review.
I only found a couple spelling and grammar issues that were not fixed in the published version on Kindle Unlimited.

Tucker is the enforcer for the San Antonio Hyenas hockey team. Tucker is in the penalty box and he is not only counting down his time but he is counting the hits that the enforcer for the Seattle Centaurs Maddock is dishing out to his teammates. When Tucker’s time is up he charges for Maddock and the fight is on. Tucker ends up knocking Maddock out and then he drags Maddock’ unconscious body over to the Centaurs bench, that is Tucker’s signature move. Jane moved to San Antonio from Shakings Colorado to start a new division of the company she worked for. Alina is in charge of the division and she requested that Jane join her. They do luxury closets and their first job is at Tucker’s mansion. Jane is a virginal, shy naive woman and she has never been out of Shakings before. Alina and Jane buzz the gate but don’t get an answer so Alina puts in the code, she also puts in the code for the door. Janet walks in and sees how gray everything is and it’s dark inside. They go down to the basement to start on the closet. As they are dismantling the closet a bar drops on the floor and then they hear stomping all the way downstairs. Jane is shocked by the sight of Tucker, he is a giant of a man and he is bloody and swollen. Tucker didn’t want his closets done but Alina convinced him to do it. Tucker is in pain and he doesn’t want to deal with these women until he sees Jane and she stands up to him. Tucking surprised Jane and Alina by making them lunch. Jane feels like she needs to check on Tucker because of his injuries. Jane feels a connection to Tucker. Tucker has never been with a woman before but all he can think about is Jane now that he has seen her. Nobody thought that an angry brutal monster like Tucker would find a woman even himself. Jane gets invited to go to a hockey game with Alina, it’s Jane’s first hockey game. She really enjoys it especially since Tucker toned down his brutality. When Tucker, Jane, Alina and Sebastian go out to dinner everything is going well until Maddock pushes Tucker in to Jane and bloodies her noise. Tucker and Jane go back to his mansion and they end up having sex for the first time for both of them. Will Tucker rein in his brutal attacks now that Jane is with him? Will Jane give Tucker permission to take out Maddock at the next game? Will Tucker and Jane move in together? Will Tucker and Jane have a family together? Will Tucker and Jane find everlasting love and happiness?

While I did absolutely love Tucker, I can't say the same for Jane. The impression I got from her in the first book was that she was a bit superficial and a bit of a party girl who likes the limelight and it seems I was right. When they go to dinner at some swanky place she's in awe and happy, while Tucker is uncomfortable but he stays for her.
When Clint purposely bumps into Tucker, and he, in turn smacks into her and causes her nose to bleed she's embarrassed by the whole situation and is mentally complaining about her stupid dress being ruined (really? you can use a washing machine but whatever..).
There is also a part before this where she's mentally pointing out she never would've thought about dating someone like him for her FIRST boyfriend... so she's already thinking of having others? She is not even with him yet at this point! Let's not even talk about the whole giving him a blow job in the car while he's trying to drive and keep them safe. Is it something hot? Yeah, I'll agree to that but it's dangerous and for her it's only to push him to accepting her.
I also get the feeling she wants to change him. She's very preachy about being violent and how he should use his words, etc. I'm sorry but he's an enforcer, it's his job to be the big brute in hockey! You can't just change him because you don't like it. She's even imposing in his personal life before she even knows him by bringing him flowers because she thinks his house needs color when he's perfectly fine with grey. He's just a project for her to fix and I really don't like it. So yeah.. the story would've been better if she had been written differently.

2nd Book I’ve Read | While Good a Little Too Good to Be True
This is the second book I’ve read of Olivia Turner. The first book, “The Sniper,” while I thought it was overall good and possibily a bit more realistic than this book, the fact that both the male and female MCs were both virgins who were waiting for each other seemed a bit much. That one a superstar NFL player hadn’t slept with one other girl in his entire life until her. The one thing that made it possibly an outcome is that they’d grown up knowing each other.
However, this book, had the basic same concept of both MCs being virgins - AGAIN! Now this is just unrealistic. They didn’t know each other before hand. I can more see the female still being a virgin due to her shyness, but male still being one, and yet again, an NHL superstar, was still was as well, that now become unbelievable.
For me the problem with both books is not only is everyone virgins but the books are around 100 pages long. There’s no time to actually build the story. There’s zero angst at any point. When I saw book 2 basically going along the same way as book 1, I almost stopped reading about halfway through. I love a good quick read but at least mix them up more. Don’t give me the same type of story over and over with only slight changes.
I guess if I want to read a story with minimal to zero substance, I’ll come back to read another book.
If someone is looking for something that’s just light, easy read with almost no conflict, this would be a perfect book for them. I honestly was just hoping for more.

The bigger they are, the harder they fall. Tucker is a giant in the world of hockey, both in size and status. The top enforcer in the league, he protects and fiercely defends his team with his fists. Fighting is all he’s known until he meets Jane. Jane works with Alina, the girlfriend of Tucker’s teammate Sebastian (their story is book 1), and meets Tucker when she and Alina go to his home to start redesigning his closets. Tucker and Jane are smitten at first sight, and her caring nature brings out Tucker’s softer side. But can the Hyenas survive with a less violent Tucker, or can he teach Jane that some things are worth fighting for?
Tucker is the epitome of a hard shell protecting a soft, vulnerable inside — the only difference being that Tucker didn’t seem to know he had one. He’s immediately taken with the small, innocent woman who’s also unafraid to stand up to him. At that moment, his hidden cinnamon roll is revealed and it’s just as delightful to the reader as it is confusing to Tucker. He’s the sweetest of book boyfriends and he and Jane complement each other well.
As always with Olivia’s books, you get smushy feels mixed with some serious steam and topped off with a sweet HEA. Definitely worth your time.

This book is part of a series but can be read as a standalone. Naturally, you’ll get the most enjoyment by reading the first book - this is the second book. Tucker is the enforcer for the San Antonio hockey team, the hyenas. He is dark, tough and grumpy! His go to mood is rude and a scary voice. Jane is hired to redecorate Tucker’s closet. He is nursing some hits from the night before so is not exactly overjoyed at having someone invading his space and makes no bones about it. He does later apologize for his behavior and Jane accepts his apology.
From there things start off for them. Jane wholeheartedly accepts him as he is and even cheers him on at his games. In turn Tucker put Jane above all else.
I loved watching their love blossom into a real relationship between a grumpy man and a sunshine girl. I felt so happy reading this book because it gave me hope for true love.
This author has a wonderful way of making you see love develop. That is one of my favorite thing about grumpy/sunshine books! This is definitely worth your time to read. This author will impress you too!.

The Enforcer
The San Antonio Hyenas, #2
by Olivia T. Turner
Narrated by Tor Thom, Fiona Clare
What is not to love about this story? Quick, instant attraction, age gap, sports romance with a grumpy man and a sunny woman to win him over is delivered in spades by Olivia T Turner! Tucker is the enforcer for the San Antonio Hyenas. Groomed to do the beating on the ice, his personality matches his job. But when Jane meets him while working at his house, she does something to him. Not afraid of his cranky demeanor, this ambitious decorator finds the best in the enforcer. This is a quick listen, packed with all the feels, all the passion and nothing is well developed for a quickie. It's the perfect book for my walk!
And to make it even better, Tor Thom and Fiona Clare voice this grumpy/sunny team. Thom has the perfect voice to be commanding and broody, and he is just that. Clare is beaming as the happy Jane. She keeps her light and easy except when it comes to her passion, that is full on. Loved these two and enjoyed the story!

The Enforcer is book 2 in the San Antonio Hyenas Series by Olivia T. Turner.
Combine one of my favorite authors, my favorite tropes, and center it around hockey and how it can not be fantastic. Well, of course, it was.
Tucker is the grumpy, brutal, giant of the Hyenas team. He was hired by the team to do one thing, fight, and that is exactly what he does. He is violent and unstoppable when it comes to defending his teammates. But when he meets Jane, assistant to Alina (The Sniper book 1), his reaction is unexpected. She sees something in him no one else has and treats him like he is more than just a fighter. She is the sunshine to his gray, and he loves it.
I love everything Olivia T Turner writes, and so far, this series may top the list. You get the OTT instalove she is known for but with a great sports romance as the backdrop. I am already looking forward to the next book.

This is book number 2 of The San Antonio Hyenas series and focuses on Tucker and Jane. Tucker is the top enforcer in the hockey league and plays for the San Antonio Hyenas. He is Sebastian’s teammate and the ruthless, violent protector of his team. He has spent his life alone and is fine with continuing it that way. When he gets talked into renovating his closets by Alina, he isn’t expecting to meet Jane or his reaction to her. Meeting Jane was the best thing to ever happen to Tucker. She saw him for the man he was and saw everything good in him that others never cared to look for. I love how she stood up to Tucker and put him in his place when they first met, but then also was so caring and nurturing when he needed it. They were such a great complement to each other and made each other's lives so fulfilled. This was a great story and a great addition to the series!

Protective Nature
Tucker McKinstry is fiercely protective of his teammates. He's got that predatory I'll-happily-unalive-you vibe working for him. It's kinda hot. 😏🔥🥵 When Jane enters the picture, she proves she too can be fierce. Although, I have to admit that I love how quickly he shifts his priorities, putting Jane's desires and safety above all others. It's completely OTT, but it works for him.
This intense man and his new obsession make for an entertaining story in the series with a fair amount of ice time, especially considering the book length.

I keep thinking of those hands clenched into fists and that big powerful chest. It awakens something deep in me.
Something I’d rather keep locked away.
Something that won’t be anything but trouble.

“She stood her ground and held her head high as she took me on. It was at that moment I fell in love.”
I was sooo looking forward for this story. I loved Tucker and being a HUGE real-life hockey fan, I ❤️ me a kick-butt Enforcer!!!Jane is working with Sebastian’s wife Alina, to redo his closets professionally. Unlike everyone else, Jane doesn’t take any guff from him and calls him out on when he was exhibiting rude behavior. Tucker is reeling from his instalove, and is a great guy inside.
He had tragedy in his childhood but came out stronger for it. Jane is fun but fierce when protecting her man. Great steamy read when the always wonderful epilogues!! Next up, Harris and his second chance at love!! I can’t wait to continue this series!!! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This is the second in OTT's latest series, and it was great! Tucker is a Grizzly Bear of a man, with a teddy bear inside. His childhood fully explains how and why he's the way he is, who wouldn't be!! Jane on the other hand, she's all sunshine and light, probably wouldn't smack a mosquito if it bit her. Talk about opposites attracting. Honestly a bit unfair of her to ask him to essentially not do his job because it made her uncomfortable. Geez! Talk about a Catch 22. What should Tucker do? How does he deal with this dilemma?
I totally adore OTT's books. The characters are clear and conscience. Readers know what's happening throughout, as the plot flows freely without hiccups, and there's ALWAYS a HEA!! ❤️

Me Tucker, you Jane
My title says it all. I was looking forward to this short story in the series. I still had to deal with a hockey team in San Antonio, but the story is hot ❤️🔥 yet sweet. From the first book, we know that hockey star Sebastian married Alina whom he helped secure her own closet renovation business. Alina hired Jane to work with her, and Alina helped big, bad Tucker realize he needed 3 closets renovated. Read what happens when they arrive unannounced…the night after he nearly pummeled his nemesis to death. A tee shirt for Tucker should read “ I don’t play well with others”. Jane’s tee shirt would say “I like flowers”. Jane doesn’t like violence but she likes 💘 Tucker. Read what impact she has on his behavior in the ring. I really like this story, and so will you. I also like the double epilogues that the author adds.
