It’s clear that the connection Hailey had/has with Jackson is more friendship than passionate romantic love but he’s the only man she’s ever been with and she’s still mourning the loss of her marriage. But they’ve been divorced for around the same time Matt and his ex-wife have been. They were best friends from childhood and they still run the business together very successfully. She and her then husband started the business together. Hailey Taylor Emery is a 27-year-old entrepreneur. (Spoiler alert: his suspicions are correct). But there is a woman he talks to online to whom he’s very attracted and if the picture on the Fetch website is, as he suspects, actually of that same woman, the attraction isn’t just cerebral. He believes (because his ex-wife told him so) that his career is what caused their marriage to fail and as a result, while he’s still playing hockey, he’s very relationship shy.

He’s also something of a veteran player in the Toronto hockey team. Matt Eriksson is the divorced father of four-year-old twin girls. Stay didn’t quite hit the the heights of the previous books but I still ripped through it in only two nights and and liked it very much.

Him, Us and Good Boy have all been very successful reads for me. What worked for me (and what didn’t): I enjoy both of these author’s books separately and together. The only person in his life who seems to understand is someone who won’t show her pretty face.īut it’s nothing that a pair of fourth row hockey seats can’t fix. He barely sees his kids, and dealing with his ex makes him feel insane. He’s still not over the destruction of his marriage, and it sucks to be the only guy on the team who knows the truth–that hockey and long-term relationships are a toxic mix.

Matt Eriksson is no stranger to heartbreak. Still nursing a wounded heart thanks to her recent breakup, Hailey is perfectly content with some harmless online flirting…until she has to meet her client. Hailey Taylor Emery has a hunch that her favorite client at Fetch–an anonymous virtual assistant service–is actually hockey star Matt Eriksson.Īlthough it’s against the rules for her to check his file, she’s 95% sure she spends at least part of each day texting with her lifelong crush and catering to his every need. What it’s about: (from Goodreads) Can you fall in love with someone you’ve never even met? Why I read it: I’ve enjoyed the previous books in the series.
