Bad Boy's Downfall

I enjoyed this book as the 6th in the series. It has all the emotional roller coaster feels I needed for a good read. River is a broken, grumpy kind of guy who is beyond private about his personal life. Lola is the daughter of one of his teammates and a college senior who is determined to graduate with the little amount of time she has left of college. They meet with major sparks and after spending the night together things change. This was a great book with all the feels. I received this ARC through the publisher and I am voluntarily reviewing this book, opinions are my own.

I can’t believe this is the last Thunderbolts book! I have loved this hockey series with small town vibes so much. Gina has become one of my instant read authors because of it. She has teased us with Lola’s story since book one and it was so fitting to get it as the ending. River’s character development from his first appearance with Maisy and the muffins was perfect. Getting to see what made him so closed off and feeling his struggles to feel loved has made him one of my favorite in the series. I loved Lola from the jump and her proving you can be a mom and a career you are passionate about was everything.

🏒 ARC REVIEW 🍼 Review: 5/5 ⭐️ Steam: 4/5 🔥 #badboysdownfall is book six in the #tennesseethinderboltshockeyseries by @gina_azzi River: Closed off. Hockey player. Broken. He’s making a name for himself in the NHL with this team. He’s not the easiest guy to get along with but his teammates include him to not only show camaraderie but also they want him to feel part of their family. He’s very private about his life, and doesn’t share anything. Until Lola; His teammates daughter. He’s tried to stay away since meeting her, but they always tend to gravitate to one another. They might have different upbringings but he’s starting to see they have more in common than he thought. Can he let her in to find a happiness he deserves or will he always feel like he’s not wanted and his feelings get overlooked? Lola: College senior. Determined. Shocked by a surprise pregnancy. She has been intrigued by River since the first seeing him. Knowing he has an attitude with everyone made her fall harder as he’s always nice to her. She wants to live her life and take a chance with fun. Thinking River can help with that she may have bit off more she can chew. He’s not what she expected, he treats her like a queen and supports her when she finds out she’s pregnant. Can she trust that he won’t run when times get tough or does she feel like her life is just another statistic? Ugh, my heart! These two. I have been waiting for this book since I figured out who the MCs would be. River is so broken but doesn’t realize how much love he radiates without saying the words. He treated Lola like a princess and wanted to be better for her. Lola always wanted to make her parents proud, but also needed fun. She never tried to fix River, wanted him just the way he was. I think they were my favorite couple! Absolutely recommend but please check TW prior.
