seriously romantic: for the win by kelly jamieson

harrison wynn finally gets his turn in for the win, and of course, it is with yoga instructor arya ross. we've seen harrison and arya interact in earlier books in the series, and it's clear from the get-go that these two are meant for each other.

if only arya didn't have some very real trauma to get past. after a man in her past quickly made the turn from date to stalker, she has some issues trusting new men in her life. especially one who feels persistent. and while harrison is persistent, he isn't ever disrespectful, and this is a very tight rope to walk. and one, to be very fair, he doesn't even know he is walking, because arya doesn't tell him about her past experience well past when she should.

and i'm not saying she needed to dig into her trauma earlier, but you can't get mad at someone for not instinctively knowing what might be triggering if they have no context, especially if it's interaction that seems harmless for someone without that kind of trauma.

but harrison and arya work through those things, harrison has quite a bit going on, with his father receiving a definitive diagnosis of alzheimer's and the family drama that ensues from that and his own struggles with hockey and feeling like he isn't living up to the player that everyone thinks he could be.

this is another delightful hockey romance from jamieson, and i loved the callback to the aces series too. can't wait to see what she has in store for jackson, whose sudden appearance at the end of for the win makes me think his book is next.

**for the win will publish on march 3, 2020. i received an advance reader copy courtesy of netgally/random house publishing group (loveswept) in exchange for my honest review.
