Such a beautiful story
Mini Review:Betrothal of Breakaway by Leah Brunner third in the D.C. Hockey Series. This book was adorable and one that I couldn’t help but just smile constantly over the sweetness of the couple. FYI. I have read all in the series so far. I first started by reading them but when they came out in audiobooks I started listening to them instead. I absolutely love the whole series. Ford was just a lovable character and I could feel everything he was going through in the book and I loved that. I love the found family within this book between the hockey players and loved that when Amber came on the scene she found a family she didn’t have before. This is a friends to lovers story which I think is done perfectly well. Ford has had feelings for Amber since they were kids and we get to see glimpses of their past in the book which is so special. We see how Ford has feelings for Amber and I love how their friendship blossoms into more as the story goes on. This book was beautifully written.Some Things I loved:The Neurodivergent RepThe scene’s from their childhoodHow Ford is with Nella (Amber’s Daughter)The ring shopping sceneFord interaction with his team, I just love the whole team.The teams interaction with NellaThe Sick bed sceneAnd the My Wife Scene (Oh my)Some Tropes included found family, marriage of convenience, friends to more, & single mom.I believe the author has this one labeled fade-to-black or low-spice. I will say there is no open door scene. It’s the perfect sweet with heat kind of book. There is a small amount of language in this book.

Swoony Hockey Romance with so much heart
So, I have been intrigued by Remy since I first read about him in Passon or Penalty and Desire or Defense by Leah Brunner. I knew his story would be a good one. Well, life happened and I didn’t get a chance to read his story Betrothal or Breakaway until this month. Remy’s story was everything I was expecting and more. It was so fabulous.When Ford Remington’s best friend Amber ends up alone and with a brand new baby, he knows he will do anything to help her. When he learns that Amber needs to have minor heart surgery, he knows the best way to help Amber is to marry her. After Ford convinces Amber the benefits of marrying him—insurance and help with her baby—he just needs to figure out how to keep his feelings for his best friend a secret. The story that follows is so full of heart and hope and romance.Ford was a dream. I loved how Brunner slowly revealed more and more of Ford’s character. He was such a good man. Ford’s relationship with Amber was so sweet. Ford’s shopping trip with his teammates was so funny. It was even better when Amber found what he bought hidden in his closet. That whole storyline was so good.I adored Amber. It was so fun to see her let herself fall for Ford. I thought her reasons for not seeing Ford as potential romantic partner before made so much sense. Her relationship with her mother really messed her up, so it was so good to see her interact with Ford and his family.One of my favorite part of this story was Amber and Nella’s red hair. As a red head, I’m always excited to see a red headed FMC. I loved seeing Amber’s feelings about her red hair as a child. I also loved how much Ford loved Amber’s hair. It was such a fun experience for me to read.I adored everything about this marriage of convenience hockey romance. From Ford’s teammates to his family to Ford’s relationship with Nella and Amber, it was such a wonderful story. Ford and Amber were so good together.

Betrothed or Breakaway
This was such a fun book to read! I loved how they had such a long friendship yet it took forever for them to find love. The story line was great and I couldn’t put the book down until the end. Everyone will enjoy this book.

Cute characters
I wanted to give this story a 4 star but it’s too fast paced (even for childhood friends to lovers) or maybe I’m wrong? Idk.I liked the characters and their past stories, nothing too deep about the book. A light read.

Oh my god, this book had everything. Friends to lovers, found family, “my wife”. Hot. Hot. Hot. I have been eating this series up and honestly Ford and Amber might be my favourite couple yet. I absolutely love that there’s no 3rd act break up in these books. I can’t wait for the next book. Also, Farrah and Bruce 👀

They’re a bread apart and I love reading about them. It makes sense that someone on the spectrum would be good at atrategy. It’s very clever of him to copy social interactions,His love life is a whole other ballgame. And who can resist a cute baby girl.

I loved this book. The characterisation was well done, the plot was fairly subtle, and now, having finished reading Betrothal or Breakaway, I’m feeling slightly bereft… I hope Ms Bruner has more DC Eagles Hockey books to come.

My heart has a special place for MCs who are soft from their core and has that giving nature. Ford aka Remy has been friends with Amber from as long as he can remember so when he knows that Amber is now not engaged and with a kid but also a hole in her heart he wanted to do everything possible to help her, save her and protect her. Even if it means convincing her to marry him for the insurance but also for him to be able to take care of Nella. I am a sucker for marriage of convenience and when it’s between friends? It’s blurry lines and care that’s unconditional. The bond Ford had formed with Nella and also the found family vibes. I loved it so much. The feels and emotions, everything made me feel more.

I really wish that Amazon would start introducing half stars. This book wasn’t a full five stars for me, but it was better than four stars, so I decided to go for a five star rating with this attached statement.Anyway. I thought this book was quite enjoyable. Ford and Amber were interesting and appealing characters. Their story was unique in many ways. I don’t want to offer up any spoilers, so I will just say that one of the characters is dealing with some cognitive challenges that I didn’t see coming. It definitely added a thought provoking element to what was otherwise a sweet love story.Another thing I think some readers might want to have highlighted is that Amber is coming into her romantic relationship with Ford soon after having had another man’s child. While I think this would be very appealing to some readers, I think it might also not appeal to others. As such, I thought that I would point it out.This book alludes to sex, but nothing beyond kissing and holding is described on page.
