Review

**4.5 Stars**

The Garrison boys and Luc are back and they didn't disappoint once again. I was so excited to read this book. The chemistry with Luc and Rose could be felt in book 1, so knowing this book was Luc's had me hoping Rose would be his love interest and boy am I happy with how this book started and ended.

Rose, the youngest of the Caplan sisters, is a romantic at heart. I love Rose's character, she's different than her sisters Jessie and Callie, yet she is like them in other ways. Knowing she has always been in love with Luc, yet he sees her as just a friend, she gets some advice from Callie and man does the story begin!

Luc, oh sweet Candian Luc. After a disastrous old relationship, his hockey career is on the line unless he can shape up. Going home he figured he was safe, his best friend, Rose, is there and he knows he is safe with her. What he doesn't expect was to fall for her. Luc screwed up many times but he also did many things right, which makes me my favorite at the moment. He isn't perfect but, he never stopped fighting for what he wanted once he knew what that was.

I loved Luc and Rose's story. Friends to lovers, their story was written perfectly for them. I can't wait for book 3, The Final Move.
