When there's far too many books to pick from, what do you do? Naturally, panic and read nothing while you debate (with yourself) on what to read for a week or so. I finally decided on "Blurred Lines" by Andi Jaxon. It's the second novel in her Darby U Hockey Boys series.
["I’ve been in love with my best friend for years.
The problem?
He thinks I’m straight.
And now that I share a dorm with him, his insistent need to cuddle -and lack of clothes- are blurring the careful lines I’ve drawn.
I'm struggling to keep my defenses up.
I love him but I’m afraid.
Afraid I’m not enough to make him stay.
Afraid he’ll rip my heart out.
Afraid he won’t love me back.
But I see a side of him no one else does.
In the security of our room, he lets his mask fall.
Lets me hold him.
Something lurks in the dark recesses of his mind that keeps him from going all in.
He’s just as hesitant about this as I am, but I don’t understand why.
Can I convince him to let me love him the way he deserves…
or will he take my heart and run away with it?"]
These two!!! D: I love them! They're soft and sweet, but rough and feisty. They're cuddling one minute and anxiety fighting the next.
There was physical touch as a love language, food as a love language, crazy impulsive decisions as a love language. There was possession and declarations and protective streaks a mile long.
There was also anxious thoughts turned toxic, because Trauma, so get your tissues ready for that one. Like the last book in this series, the trauma and the trigger warnings start off fast and heavy (you've been warned).
Trigger Warnings: sexual assault, car accident, death of a parent, abandonment of a parent, bullying, assault, anxiety, depression, and more.
