Blurb: 

You know what they say—when things start to come together, life throws you a curveball.

 Well, in this case…a hockey puck.

 Ten years ago, we were college sweethearts. Until Dominick (Ren) Renaldi decided the grass was greener playing pro hockey in Canada. 

 I moved on—made my mark as a designer. I run two restaurants and an inn at our family winery, Buttercup Hill. 

 Nothing is missing. Nothing at all. 

 Then Ren struts into my small town, a reminder of a broken heart I locked in the past. 

 Okay, yes, this responsible, type A girl could really use a wild night of scorchin’ hot fun, and Ren, with his penetrating eyes and easy charm, is all too happy to deliver—grownup style.

 Imagine my surprise when I see a little pink plus sign a few weeks later.

 I’m not looking for love, especially with a guy who’s walked away once. And Ren’s serious about his career, so he will walk away. Besides, I’m not the kind of woman who traps a man with a surprise baby. 

 But when our shared history and a certain little growing bean brings us close again, I discover the real reason Ren left—and why he’s back. 

 I find myself starting to like my baby daddy and the man he became.

But what if I love him, too?

 

Love You Too is a steamy standalone hockey romance in the Buttercup Hill series, where the men are as hot as the wine country sun. It's packed with banter, swoon, and a HEA.

 

My Thoughts:  Steamy sexy hockey romance, perfect book for me!   I am so hooked on sports romance and especially hockey romance.  I love that this was a second-chance romance.  The characters had a true relationship in college and when they go in different directions, neither character can get over the other.   The coming back together is perfect, with the characters coming face-to-face with their history.

Love You Too is a quick and easy read.   There is no doubt there will be a HEA but getting there is all the fun.   The story has real feelings with tough conversations and decisions to be made. I appreciate the romance but I enjoyed the realness of the story too.  

Thank you to the author for a copy of the book in exchange for my honest review.

Meet Stacy Travis:  Stacy Travis writes charming, spicy romance about bookish, sassy women and the hot alphas who fall for them.

Writing makes her infinitely happy, but that might be the coffee talking. She drinks a LOT of it.

She's worked as a journalist, camp counselor, TV writer, SAT tutor, corporate finance researcher, education technology editor, and non-fiction author. When she's not on a deadline, she's in running shoes complaining that all roads seem to go uphill. Or on the couch with a margarita. Or fangirling at a soccer game.

She's never met a dog she didn't want to hug. And if you have no plans for Thanksgiving, she'll probably invite you to dinner.

Stacy lives in Los Angeles with her husband, two sons, and a poorly-trained rescue dog who hoards socks. And she's serious about the Thanksgiving thing.
