What when one unforgettable night for you is one he forgot…

Synopsis

The night she’ll never forget is the night he can’t remember.

Tori
How dare he act like we’ve never met?
I thought we connected, but after a steamy one night stand, the hockey hot shot ghosted me, leaving me with nothing but wounded pride and two pink lines on a stick. And not the hockey kind.
Well, not this time, bud. You fooled me once, and I’m never giving you a second chance to fool me again.
We don’t need you.

Raffi
She’s not a forgettable woman, so why does she insist she knows me?
One look at her son and it hits me like a slap shot to the chest. The resemblance is undeniable.
How can I convince the mother of my child to let me be part of their lives, when I don’t even remember her?

My review

Tori and Raffi spent one magnificent night together. But then, to Tori’s shock, Raffi seemed to have ghosted her. Only their one night didn’t go without consequences, as Tori discovered later on to be pregnant.
Three years later, their paths cross again and Raffi does not understand how Tori claims that they know each other. Because he is sure that he would never forget a woman like Tori…
But seeing Tori’s child, Raffi’s spit image, he knows that the kid is his. Yet Tori isn’t sure to let Raffi back in her and her son’s life, as now it isn’t only her heart on the line.
Can Raffi convince Tori to give him a(nother) chance, even if he cannot remember the connection they had three years ago?

How is it possible that with each book this amazing author becomes even more amazing? Because I cannot describe how much I ADORED this book!!!
It was just perfection and beyond, and Lasairiona for sure deserves all the possible praise for her latest masterpiece!

Okay, the first chapter had me a little bit confused, as I just didn’t get it. But that initial shock quickly evaporated once the whole picture was given.
And in those first chapters, wow, did sparks fly around! I could just feel the heat coming of the pages, because one thing is for sure, Tori and Raffi, they could start a real fire with all that sexual tension between them!

From the blurb, we know that Raffi later on wouldn’t remember his meeting with Tori. And I was very curious to read hat exactly happened. I had an feeling what that would be, and I was glad to see that my feeling was the right one and not that of Raffi being a douchebag.
Although Las wouldn’t do that to us loyal fans, have a douchebag as a main character, wouldn’t she…

Tori for sure is a force of nature, even if she is way too self-conscious and self – doubting (yes yes, pot meet kettle…). But even if she gave up her dreams to have lovely Wyatt, we see that she truly is a dedicated mother. Even if things haven’t been easy, she gave it all her best and didn’t regret once having Wyatt.
And I for sure understood her wariness in letting Raffi back in her life. Because who in her right mind would let someone like Raffi (or at least her idea of Raffi) back in her life?

I also admired her, because of her having to deal with PCOS isn’t easy. And that on top of everything else. I have to admit, I never heard of PCOS before I read in this book. And it made me realize that while it seems that someone on the outside is doing fine, we can never really know what that person is struggling with. So in a way, this book was even enlightening for me.

Raffi is of course a swoon – worthy character. He is an amazing hockey player. But he also shows so many vulnerabilities. Not only the physical ones, like his injuries, but most important the emotional vulnerabilities he is having. He knows what the right thing to do is, but he also fears what it would cost him and his family…

And then he sees Tori for the first time, or what he at least believes is the first time. And I have to admit, I absolutely liked it how perhaps subconscious , or just his heart, knew that Tori was it for him. Then him seeing with Wyatt, well my ovaries exploded! It was so so sweet to see how he wanted to get closer to this little family but without crossing any boundaries.

But it wasn’t only Tori and Raffi that *made* this book, it was also seeing the depths of the friendships in in. All their friends would help this pair, anyway they can. In fact, just like they say it themselves, they aren’t just friends, they are family, no matter what and no matter what path life makes them take.

All the characters in this book seem so real, recognizable and likeable. Tori isn’t the perfect young woman, yet she is perfect the way she is. Raffi is troubled by the choices he has to make, yet he is the perfect man.
And Lasairiona absolutely kept it real too, without using some magic powder, solving all the issues and fix things. Because that is not how real life works, so why would it work in a book?

I would say that this is absolutely my favourite book of the series, but I would be lying, because I love all the books in the series equally, just like I love each character, cameos and Bacon included!
What more can I say to lovely Las than she did an amazing job, gave me everything I needed, expected and even more!
