PARENTAL GUIDANCE CAST SERIES

This doesn't work, even a little bit, and I hate that I persisted way longer than I should have. I made the mistake of reading the little teaser for the next book so now I'm going to be even more impatient to get my hands on some more of these hockey players.ĪRC kindly provided in exchange for an honest review. I already know I'll definitely be re-reading this book many times in the future. It had so many adorable moments that made me happy sigh, and the characters were so easy to fall in love with. The bottom line is, you need to read this book. They are definitely high up on the list of my favorite Avery Flynn characters. These two fit so well together and they had me smiling like a crazy person on more than one occasion. Caleb seemed to like her sass just as much as I did and I really enjoyed that about him. Which I thought was really fun to read about and it's a quality that I love to see in my heroines. She made no apologies for who she was and never tried to conform to other people's wants. I loved Zara and her take-no-crap attitude. I'm not even sorry because this story was brilliant. And then once I got my hands on it I pretty much devoured it in one sitting.

So I pretty much squealed and then jumped on the chance to read this book as soon as I learned there was going to be a series for these players. It looks like maybe threeish other Ice Knights are in line to have their stories told, which means we haven’t seen the last of Zara and Caleb.ĪRC provided by the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest, voluntary reviewĪfter being introduced to the Ice Knights in Tomboy I was hoping with all hope that we would get to see these guys again. Overall, I really enjoyed Parental Guidance.

Also, Zara’s need for stability in her life and the walls she puts up to keep people out were washed away way too easily by her father’s explanation of his past and still continuing behavior, which didn’t make a whole lot of sense to me. Caleb’s viral video incident didn’t seem big enough to warrant the freak out reactions of everyone around him so I never quite got on board with the NEED to publicly join the dating app in the first place. My issues stem with the side stories more than anything else. I connected right away with Avery Flynn’s writing style and Caleb and Zara are fabulous together. This could’ve easily been a four star read for me. That it was too late to try to fight it even if he wanted to. That it didn’t seem like he had a choice in wanting her. In this moment, he couldn’t shake the idea that there could be more than an agreement between them. It was almost impossible to remember why dating Zara for real was a bad idea. Most of all, I loved when the five point plan the two came up with to deter a real relationship starts to crumble. Zara’s take no prisoners, hold nothing back attitude worked for me because it felt authentic and we’re still able to see the cracks in her armor, so to speak. Though not looking for a relationship, Caleb doesn’t sleep around and the only thing he’s arrogant about is his skills on the ice. When we first meet Caleb, it’s easy to peg him as the stereotypical arrogant, manho kind of hockey player, but luckily that couldn’t be further from the truth. Caleb and Zara are both awesome romantic leads. The nagging from her best friend, coupled by the fact she gets to help her father out at the same time, means the Brambles dating app officially has a new single and ready to mingle lady. What she’s also used to is listening to her bff knock her for not having a social life. Trying to break out in the competitive (I’m guessing?) world of miniatures isn’t easy, but Zara’s used to working hard. Zara knows she works too much, but her miniatures aren’t going to paint themselves. He just didn’t think that meant letting his mom set him up with a pint sized redhead with an attitude. When Caleb’s told he needs an image makeover STAT, he agrees to do whatever it takes. When a video of his rookie teammates saying disparaging things about the population of women they bang on a nightly basis goes viral, Caleb is faulted for being there and not shutting the conversation down as the veteran in the room. That’s the less than enviable spot Zara and Caleb find themselves in at the beginning of Parental Guidance.Īs a defenseman for the Ice Knights, Caleb has done everything he can to make hockey his priority numero uno.
