4 To Be Loved By a Fournier Stars
* * * * Spoiler Free It's Live!!!
Now that may seem like the craziest title ever...But if you give me a moment, I can explain. You see, Lucus is the younger brother of Max...and both of these men come from a family that is friggin' amazing. These men may have had some hiccups along the way on finding "Their Person" but when they do... They end up going all in....And their all in just works for me...
I happened to have loved Max in the 6th entry to the Cold Fury Series. These brothers have a sweetness and love of family. They had the gift of parents who would encourage and support no matter what. This was the foundation of these men... this was what guided them through all of the years growing up, experiencing the ups and downs of a career in sports... this was what made them who they were.
So to be loved by a Fournier ...I am all in...
Now don't get me wrong... There is a story to be told and nothing is easy with these brothers... they seem to find the most stubborn women...And these women have their legitimate reasons...they do challenge us readers to be patient and understand why they maintain this continued level of stubbornness or fear of seeing what is right before their eyes...
But I am jumping ahead...
The whole basis of this story is told exceedingly well in the blurb...
Lucas is part of the Cold Fury now and they are focused on winning the Stanley Cup. The team is in the running and all Lucas wants to do is prove himself to the team and show he deserves to be there. To play with his brother, Max, is something they both had hoped for from the start... and now it is a reality. Nothing is going to ruin this for Lucas.
Lucas has never denied himself from enjoying all the Puck Bunnies who avail themselves to him. He has been active in all the "extra curricular activities" being a Hockey player can easily participate in and has no plans to be involved in any long term relationship. The only long term relationship for Lucas right now is with Hockey.
Lucas is behaving himself at a Cold Fury Charity Event minding his own business when he spots a beautiful woman doing something that catches his eye...
Stephanie Frazier is stunning... she is self assured and in control at all times. She has had to be that way in order to survive and develop into the capable person she is. She has never experienced support or sacrifices from her parents...she was an imposition to them and they let her know it from the start. Her only warmth growing up was from a nanny...So Stephanie learned very quickly, she had only herself to rely on... and she became an expert at it.
When Stephanie approaches Lucas...or actually a skeleton of the main attraction of the museum where she is now the interim curator, both of them feel the sparks of attraction...They flirt, they acknowledge the flirting and then they go and act on the flirting like two very healthy, passionate grown ups will do.
Both are Extremely Compatible in their desires and ways of enjoying them... and after, there is no embarrassment or shame, just a very intense experience that both of them will remember for the pleasure it brought...
Oh, and also the unplanned results....
Yes, there is a result and it is this main upcoming event which is the crux of the story and how these two develop into the couple they become.
From the start, our Lucas is not someone who lays everything out and understands he has found his One... Nope, he is scared sh!tless but also knows he will do the responsible thing. He will be there for Stephanie as a willing partner, letting her know she will not be alone in this ...she will have someone to lean on. However, Stephanie's whole existence has been based on Never Trusting or Believing she can lean on anyone without being severely hurt...which is just the opposite of Lucas' upbringing.
So this is the conflict...Both of them want what is best...Both of them are physically attracted to each other...and both think they can do the physical without the risk of emotional complications....
Hahahahahahahaha Snort, hahahahahahaha, Giggle, Hahahahahahah Sigh....
Yeah, I know...
So we go on this journey... with Lucas who is just delicious and see him fall really hard for this woman. He sees the pain she has experienced; he wants to figure out how to alleviate it yet not frighten her away...Because this woman is like a cat on a hot tin roof when she gets defensive...
Stephanie is not the most touchy-feely character... she can be down right difficult to accept... as it takes her an extremely long time to see what is in front of her. Also Lucas in trying to be careful with her, takes awhile to come to grips with how he is feeling about Stephanie. too.
Overall, though, it is this guy I fell for and wanted to see a full Happily Ever After...Because,
When a Fournier loves you, they go all in.

~~~~~ Before Reading ~~~~~
It Is Time...
Time to see what the new Cold Fury Hockey Team Member has in store for us...
Let's see...
He is Max's younger brother...
He has one singular focus... Hockey...
He is not hurting for Extra Curricular Enjoyment...
Nope, Not At All...
But No Commitments or Connections which would distract from his main goal...
His First and Only Love...Hockey
That is until HER...
She is closed off...
She is not having any charm or engagement...
Well, there was that one time...
Now Lucas must break down walls...
And he will...
Because She is Worth It...
