Helena Hunting returns with another irresistible installment in her Toronto Terror series, delivering a romance that sizzles with passion and heart. “If You Want Me” dives deep into the forbidden allure between Peggy Aurora Hammerstein and Hollis Hendrix, her father’s best friend and a member of the Toronto Terror hockey team.

From the moment Aurora steps into her internship within the team’s front office, Hollis starts seeing her in a way he never did before. Their chemistry is palpable, drawing readers into a story that blends longing, humor, and emotional depth flawlessly.

What stands out most in this novel is the authenticity of Aurora’s character—a strong, independent woman who knows what she wants both professionally and personally. Her determination to forge her own path resonates powerfully throughout the story, especially as she navigates her feelings for Hollis.

Hollis, on the other hand, is portrayed with equal parts charm and integrity. His struggle to reconcile his growing attraction to Aurora with his loyalty to her father adds a layer of tension that heightens the emotional stakes of their relationship. Watching him wrestle with his desires makes his eventual surrender all the more satisfying.

The supporting cast, including the vibrant friendships among the Bada$$ Babe Brigade and the camaraderie within the hockey team, enriches the story, providing both levity and depth. Hunting excels at creating a world where relationships—romantic and platonic—are celebrated and cherished.

Overall, “If You Want Me” is an amazing addition to the Toronto Terror series. With its blend of witty banter, undeniable chemistry, and heartfelt moments, this novel is a must-read for fans of the genre. Prepare to be captivated from start to finish.
