IT’S ALL A MATTER OF TIMING
Griffin Sullivan is handling the ultimate balancing act. Between being a single dad to an active six-year-old and the crazy demands of his job as a hockey coach, finding love is not in the cards. But when the team’s goalie is rushed to the ER, he’s immediately captivated by the gorgeous, sassy nurse on duty… who just happens to be the sister of one his players.

Sadie Braddock has always had a big, open heart and a bit of a wild side. But since her dad got sick, she’s closed herself off to life and love. Relationships are way too complicated – and so is Griffin. He’s also funny and tender and sexy as hell. How can something that feels so right come at the worst time ever? Then again, someone to lean on may be exactly what they each need – if they’re only brave enough to take the risk.

My Review

I loved this romance!  This is the third book in the San Francisco Thunders series but it would work just fine as a stand-alone.  There are some ongoing family issues that continue throughout the series but I think that everything is explained well enough for readers jumping in with this book.  This was a pretty quick read that I found hard to put down. 

Sadie and Griffin were both fantastic characters.  They had fantastic chemistry from the very start of the book and I couldn’t wait to see how things would develop between them.   They made such a good pair and just worked well together from the very start.  I loved the way they seemed to see each other in a way that others didn’t.

I really liked the fact that these characters were dealing with some pretty tough issues in this book.  I found my heart breaking just a bit for Griffin, Sadie, and the Braddock family.  Griffin had his priorities in the right place but it seemed like everyone was working against him at times.  Sadie was trying so hard to be what everyone needed her to be and take care of her family.  I found the parts of the book that dealt with her father’s decline to be both touching and heartbreaking. 

The side characters were a lot of fun in this book.  Sadie and her two sisters make a rather interesting team and I loved their interaction.  Their older brother, Jude, was also very close to them.  I loved how they all teased and joked with each other.  Griffin’s daughter, Charlie, was adorable and added to the story as did his brother, Hunter.  Sadie’s father played an important role and I thought the fact that he had some really powerful scenes. 

I would recommend this book to fans of contemporary romance.  I had a fantastic time with Sadie and Griffin as they fell in love.  I am very glad that this book is told from alternate points of view because the reader really gets a chance to see what each character is feeling about everything going on in their lives.  I can’t wait to read more from this amazing series!

I received an advanced reader edition of this book from Forever Yours (Grand Central Publishing) via Net Galley.

    I love this family. I loved the hero. I adored his relationship with his daughter. I loved that it was fairly low drama. I loved that Sadie was getting her HEA, because she deserved it. I will be sad when this series ends.
