Accidentally Living With The Captain (Chicago Awakenings #3)

Here's Lexi Amber's "Accidentally Living With The Captain." It's the third novel in her Chicago Awakenings series.

["Hudson
I thought I was living the dream—captain of my NHL team, married to a model, planning to finally become a dad—the last thing I was expecting was to be served divorce papers.
All the plans I’d been making, all the ideas of what our family would look like, gone, just like that.
Thank God for Adrian, he always knows what to do. My ex kicked me out and Adrian offered to let me stay in his spare room while I figure out what comes next. My future hasn’t felt this uncertain since I entered the draft, but with Adrian offering to help, I feel like I can breathe again, like the unknown might not be the worst thing after all.

Adrian
Living with the perfect man is a cruel and unusual sort of torture.
Hudson walks around half-naked all the time, showing off his perfect hockey body, it’s obscene. And then there’s the teasing. It isn’t new, but I'd assumed he would stop now that we’re roommates and there’s no one else around. He hasn’t.
He’s straight, and I don’t know how much more platonic flirting my little gay heart can take.
I know that our time together is limited. Hudson wants to be a dad more than anything, and he deserves the family he’s always wanted, the future he’d dreamed of. I know that future won’t include me, and I want Hudson to be happy. Even if that means giving up our time together, helping him move on.
He was never mine, so why does the thought of saying goodbye feel like it might break me?
I’m screwed."]

That was a rollercoaster of all of the ways. It was sweet and soft, but it was also piney as helll. There was so much romance angst and waiting for the right moment and everyone else knowing what they feel before they did.  

I loved how they fell in love slowly but also so quickly. It was inevitable but it was on purpose. They were perfect for each other, right from the very first page. 

I wouldn't say no to a fourth book in the series...

Trigger Warnings: sudden divorce, discussion of a parent having a major disabling stroke, mention of being a souse to someone who needs full-time care, discussion of off-page past neglect/emotional abuse from parents for being queer, mention of being homeless 18yo teen, pregnancy/birth complications, and more.
