I love how Helena highlighted that parenting is hard, and just because children grow doesn’t mean they need their parents’ love and support any less. Alex completely melted my heart, and at one point I had to put the book down so I could ugly cry. While Maverick and Clover are definitely the stars of this book, I truly adored being able to see Violet and Alex through their children’s eyes. While the secretiveness of the relationship always adds an added layer of taboo I feel like it allowed these two to build a deeper bond therefore allowing them the foundation to move forward when others had their doubts. There is a fair amount of angst and barriers in this pair’s way, and it was such a joy watching them fall in love. They just get each other on a level that people dream of having with their partners. Maverick and Clover have a magnetic connection that we feel as readers. While he provides her the protection and encouragement to be her. They each bring out each other’s best qualities and she has such a quiet gentle presence that brings a peace to Mavericks inner chaos. But when she and Maverick are together she shines so bright. She is so emotionally strong, very intelligent and independent. She is fresh off a toxic relationship and is finding her independence. Clover starting a new life and new career finds the one man she shouldn’t be attracted to in her class. Maverick takes on the role of caretaker with so many in his life, and the others he lets them see what they need to see. He has the ability to read people, pick up on their emotions and he feels with every fiber of his body. Maverick Waters has the kindest old soul and is in the body of a college hockey star. If you consider Alex Waters a book boyfriend of yours, his son, Maverick might bump him from the spot. That is NOT the case with Bitter Sweet Heart. I should be able to avoid her.Sometimes a book is so anticipated that once you get your hands on it, the book just doesn’t measure up. What harm could a one-night stand do? It's not like we even exchanged numbers.Įverything is fine until I run into her on campus. All I have to do is stayįocused on the end game, and I'll walk away with a degree and into a career in the NHL.īut when a woman literally floats into my dock, just before summer ends and my senior year begins, I can't resist one last hookup. I'll put in the effort required to pass my classes, play hockey like my life depends on it, and avoid relationships. So, going into my senior year of college, I have a plan. My dad's advice has always been to make hockey my number-one priority-at least until I make it to the pros. It's not untrue, but it's not quite that simple either. From the outside looking in, I live a charmed life: hockey legend for a father, my own promising future in the league, a great family, awesome friends.
