Review<\/strong><\/h4>\n

4 stars!<\/strong><\/p>\n

When Aubrey gets dumped at the alter, her brother takes charge and has his two friends help her escape so he can manage the guests. What starts as a quick getaway changes course when Aubrey decides to take her honeymoon anyway and who better to join her than the two guys who helped her get away. What follows is a fun, steamy, sweet romance between Aubrey, Dev, and Ledger, and her experience makes Aubrey realize she doesn’t have to chose between two men…if they both will have her.<\/p>\n

Aubrey gets dumped but it’s not exactly how it seems. She’s hiding a truth and doesn’t feel comfortable letting it out. All she knows is she is she wants to escape it all and Dev and Ledger are just the guys to help her.\u00a0 I loved that they whisk her away and though they are both attracted to her, neither are thinking of making a move, and they just let her just feel the way she feels. They give her friendship and space and it’s just what she needs to start accepting what the end of her relationship actually means. And it’s not what everyone thinks.<\/p>\n

As Aubrey, Dev, and Ledger spend more time together they start to realize there is so much they never knew.\u00a0 I loved that Dev and Ledger start a real friendship with Aubrey but they also don’t hide their feelings. When they decide to join her on her honeymoon, they are able to really get to know each other.\u00a0 They open up in ways they haven’t before and I love that Aubrey takes everything she learns and really shows them she is listening.\u00a0 The little thinks she does for the guys don’t seem like much but it really ends up meaning everything.\u00a0 And the guys spoil Aubrey and give her just what she didn’t know she needed.<\/p>\n

Not only do they form fantastic friendships but the also bring on the steam when Aubrey decides experiment with both of them.\u00a0 They listen to her and help her explore new things. They make her feel safe and in control when she needs it but they also have no problem taking the reigns to show her just what she was always missing.\u00a0 These three are hot together and have a blast but when the honeymoon ends, so will they fun.<\/p>\n

There’s a lot of growth in the story with Aubrey learning what she wants, and I love that the guys realize how their past relationships shaped their way of thinking and how they changed when they finally accepted what they want. There are plenty of laughs and little drama making this an angst-free read and a perfect addition to the My Hockey Romance\u00a0<\/em>series.<\/p>\n
