A great start to a new series by a new to me author. Stuck with You by Fortune Whelan. Book one in the Dorceys of Conception Bay series. A fun enjoyable storyline with a great setting and dialogue. I really hated when I had to put the book down and I wanted more at the end. Can't wait for book two in series and more books by author.

Charming, silly, emotionally-fraught. Happy I got an ARC for this. I love Leena, and wow, do I ever sympathize with her (doomed) efforts to be a "no-drama llama". Whelan clearly had fun with the absurd way life throws curveballs, but Leena has darkness to be faced, too. Plus, this is a #sportsromance where the gal gets more attention for her athletic skill than the more famous guy athlete, sweetie though he is. The set-up is light, but there's darkness underneath. How can Leena retrieve her self-esteem, when paparazzi keep following her around like a giant blinking gold-digger arrow of shame? And just-retired NHL all-star Clark wants to travel the world, but he won't leave until his brother Danny dies. Except his brother has other plans--including match-making. Whelan isn't afraid of real reactions and emotions. She allows her characters face their trauma believably, slowly, and with surprising & delightful twists.

A wonderful sweet romance that makes you run the entire range of emotions while you are reading it this is a first time read for me of this author and I believe it could be her first book if it is she has knocked it out of the park Clark Dorsey dream was always to be in the NHL and he achieved it but now on the night of the championship he ahs announced his retirement he wants to travel and relax but most of all he wants to spend time with his dying brother What he doesn't expect is that his brother will get involved in a little match making and rent out the other side of their condo to nurse Leena Lopez a woman trying to escape her own infamy. Soon she is having to accept that the teenage crush she had on the NHL star is nothing to her crush on the real man but they also have dramas to get over if they are to have a future together Can't wait for Danny's story.
