Brooks Labelle spent his entire life with one ambition: Hockey. All things hockey, which is why he has settle in Tampa to ride out the rest of his career and co-owner of a hockey bar with his brothers. To his parents' dismay, none of them have settled down romantically. Brooks never plans to either, despite his dad attempting to set him up with another "nice girl." He must be desperate if he's picking random women among the crowd at Brook's games and trying to persuade them with a meet-and-greet.
But this one turns down the offer...
Jo Harper has fallen for a hockey player, and she doesn't even like hockey. A homebody to the extreme, all it took was one night out of her anti-social life to tailspin into celebrities and social media scandals. Though, scandal is a stretch when put into terms about a dead ex. She only speaks to Brooks by happenstance. Although, it's more sassing than actual talking. Which he likes and demonstrated every opportunity he can. She's become the girl friend - with a space, as Brooks likes to say - and he's more than her timid self can handle.
Just friends never work when there is an attraction. It's a tried and true failure. Their relationship sparks, but like opposite charges in the clouds, they've accumulated a fierce lightning storm. Jo loves a good rainy day, but Brooks might as well be holding a steel rod.
He wants more, but without her expecting too much. She's done with settling for men who won't share all of themselves with her.
The last thing Brooks expected was to be the first brother to fall.
When I first started reading First to Fall I wasn't quite sure what to expect and I surprisingly found myself enjoying this book, for the most part at least. I did skip through some parts of the story but even then I think I do want to continue on with this series. I think more for the characters themselves more than the story as a whole.
