Big Hart

I read this book first so the audiobook was a re-read. The second time round I fell more in love with this book.

I like a lonely guy romance and Austin is a loveable guy with a toughness that’s hard to crack.

✅ Sports Romance
✅ Single mum
✅ One night just isn’t enough

Austin is a complex guy with childhood trauma. Hockey is his escape and he doesn’t let people get close. When he meets Maddison he’s not looking for anything serious and luckily neither is she. What’s beautiful about this story is that it doesn’t feel forced. Their relationship grows as they both realise they need someone. Both have issues and emotional baggage. Their feelings mature like a good wine.

Excellent story with a big heart.
