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

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

If You Need Me<\/i> is the third book in the Toronto Terror<\/i><\/a> series and is my favorite so far. This series just keeps getting better and better! I love fake romances and this one is one of the best!<\/p>\n

Hemi and Dallas grew up together. He made her life awful at school and now they are working together. She\u2019s the PR director for the Toronto Terror hockey team, the team Dallas plays for, and he still makes her life hard. However, though she thinks he\u2019s always trying to annoy her because he doesn\u2019t like her, this couldn\u2019t be further from the truth. He wants her attention and always has. It doesn\u2019t matter how he gets it, just that he does.<\/p>\n

To the world and to Hemi, it looks like Dallas hates her so when Dallas posts on social media that Hemi is the love of his life, it complicates everything in their lives. Now to avoid a PR nightmare and breaking the no-fraternization policy at work, these two are \u201cdating.\u201d<\/p>\n

I adored Hemi. She\u2019s such a great character and I felt awful about what happened to her in high school with her ex-best friend and her crush at the time. Then, there is the added torment that Dallas dished her way, yet we don\u2019t know what actually went down until much later in the story. I felt her anxiety about attending her reunion and love that Dallas was the person to help her out even though his help was unconventional.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m living my dream right now, but I\u2019m making her live her worst nightmare.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Dallas. Dallas. Dallas. He was all in when it came to Hemi. I just couldn\u2019t stop swooning over everything he did to prove how he felt and to try to apologize for the past. His support, his patience, and his love. OMG, his love! I couldn\u2019t get enough of Dallas.<\/p>\n

You know how these fake romances always go – it doesn\u2019t stay fake for long and I loved every single moment. I loved how they did things \u201cbackwards.\u201d From fake dating to fake engagement to finally real feelings, I loved the progression of their relationship. There\u2019s no doubt these two are meant to be. Dallas wanted her and she didn\u2019t know that he was exactly who she needed.I believed their feelings, I was rooting for them. I just wanted them to be together without fears, reservations, or second guessing themselves.<\/p>\n

I have to give a shout out to the secondary characters because they are awesome. I loved seeing the Toronto Terror gang again, and all of their support for their friends.<\/p>\n

Overall, I loved If You Need Me<\/i>. This story has the perfect amount of seriousness to go with the fantastic humor that pours from the pages, and it\u2019s such a wonderful read.<\/p>\n

\u201cLoving you is my favorite thing in the world.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
