Wonderful erotic romance between a dominant Sheriff Ryan (H) & a sweet newcomer to the town of Nevermore, WY, Lilly (h).
Ryan is a Dominant, is the town Sheriff & the town's goalie for their Ice Hockey team. He's huge, muscled, handsome & takes his duties as Dominant, Sheriff & goalie very seriously.
Lilly is shy & determined to overcome & leave behind the wreckage of her relationship with a controlling jerk who called himself a Dom. Lilly has promised herself she'll never let herself be isolated & controlled that way by anyone ever again. And in the spirit of starting over, Lilly pulls up her roots & moves to Nevermore, WY.
And although both Ryan & Lilly tell themselves, & others they're not looking for a relationship, they find themselves intensely attracted to each other.
But Ryan doesn't want a forever woman. Does he?
And Lilly doesn't want to be controlled by a Dom again. Does she?
Both Ryan & Lilly were wonderful & relatable characters that I liked immediately. I wanted them to get together, be together, be happy together. I enjoy when characters are 'real', when they have realistic concerns & hesitations, when they come to silly decisions that they immediately question or regret. When they have the maturity to admit they were wrong.
There is some tension & potential for some danger via a certain person who lives just outside of Nevermore, & I also liked how that was handled, addressed & resolved.
There is sizzling steam, romance, a touch & danger & tension AND ICE HOCKEY too!
I very much enjoyed this romance & I highly recommend it.
