STILL overwhelmed by the sheer number of TBRs. So still not start something completely random aka, slowly crossing another author off my to-binge list. Here's Nicole Dykes's "Hail Mary." It's the second book in her Big Bend Bears series, which is a spin-off of her Kensley Panthers series.
["Benny
Big Bend is my home. I love it here. I love everything about it.
It’s my senior year, and I’m determined to have the best one yet. Of course, that’s when life gets confusing.
I think I may have a little bit of a crush on my nemesis.
Something I never saw coming.
I just hope I can find a way to make him give me a chance because being together would make not only this year great, but this life of ours—absolutely epic.
Rowan
Benjamin McBride is the bane of my existence. He simply won’t quit—he never does.
He’s too happy. Too confident. Too unafraid.
I can’t let him get to me.
He thinks we could be epic together, that us in a relationship would be some saving grace—a Hail Mary—a way to make this year and our lives the best they can be.
But I’m not destined for happiness.
I have to make him understand . . .
It’s never going to happen."]
I had a feeling these two would get their own book, their own HEA. The sunshine and the grump. The I-don't-care-what-they-think-about-me and the I-have-to-care-what-they-think-about-me. Opposites attract plus rivals to lovers. It's small town magic and star crossed fate. Of course they get their own book.
I looooved Benny in the previous book, and was (naturally) unsure of Rowan. This book made me fall in love with Rowan--and want to protect him from everything. Luckily, Benny felt the same.
I love how much emotion these books contain. There's so much love and warmth and protectiveness. But there's so much angst and internalized Feels. It's complicated and dramatic, but it's real.
Trigger Warnings: homophobia, alcoholism, small town and smaller thoughts, sports based homophobic 'jokes', and more.
