Book Recommendation ➱ Bottles & Blades (Eagles Hockey: Oak Ridge Vineyards) Billionaire Age Gap Romance by Elise Faber

Bottles & Blades by Elise Faber
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

📖Book Info

I fell in love with a billionaire.I just didn’t know it.Jean-Michel Dubois is the owner of the professional hockey team, the Oakland Eagles, and established the world-renowned Oak Ridge Vineyards.

And…he’s fallen for me.

Me. The boring woman who spends her time studying, baking cookies, and nannying for an adorable little girl.

A relationship between us makes no sense—I’ve tried to make him see that.

But he’s a successful businessman for a reason.

He's ruthless and goes after what he wants.

And he’s decided…That’s me.

💭Our Thoughts

"I'm starting to think that maybe you're all I've been waiting for and everything I never thought I'd have."

This starts out pretty wild but as the story progressed and I really got to know Jean-Mi and Tiff, their reactions made total sense. This is going to be such a fabulous "how we met story" for their friends and their future children - Because honestly, these two have to have little Jeans and Tiffs

"I was tired, but then a pesky billionaire turned up on my stoop and started arguing with me."

Tiff is just hanging on by a thread, financially, physically, and emotionally. However, all that changes when a random act of kindness by her triggers events that will change her life forever.

Jean-Mi has a bit of a savior complex. A bit is a touch of an understatement, he is referred to by many as a fairy godfather, and for good reason. But repaying Tiff's kindness is not a one-time thing. She calls to him on so many levels and he plans to keep her

"Today started great. It had a shit middle. But I'm going to make sure it ends exactly as we like. Together. With love. And... With laughter."

Major props to the author here. I sometimes have issues with the whole age gap/virgin trope but this was believable - yes it was instalove but it made sense.

All the pieces were crafted to perfectly slot together so it felt natural. Believable. Age here is just a number. Tiff is mature beyond her years.

The obstacles they faced - they faced together - as a team

Okay, Jean-Mi has a bit of a command problem but Tiff knew how to deal with that. She didnt roll over to his every demand she carefully balanced her play and reacted accordingly. I really liked her strength

These two complimented each other so well

An exciting blend of suspense, drama, and mystery wrapped in the sweetest romance - again these two fit

Great secondary characters like Jean-Mi's daughter and her bestie ... sheer perfection

His confident and efficient admin Marie, who looks to be the next to fall to the love bug

His diabolical ex. Or is she? That is a story that I look forward to

Tiff's mom who I so badly wanted to medicate

and so many more

This ends with the cutest HEA

I am looking forward to the next in the series as well as going back and checking out some of this author's other works
