Unravel Me (Playing for Keeps #3) by Becka Mack

 


Can he leave the past behind to forge the future he's always wanted? When it comes to dating, Adam Lockwood wouldn't know luck if it hit him in the face. After a failed relationship and a string of dates gone wrong, the thought of being vulnerable with someone is terrifying- most women only see his fame. But when his dog runs into Rosie Wells, a beautiful woman with a blush as pink as her hair, she doesn't seem to have a clue who he is, and Adam seizes the opportunity as a chance to finally be himself. Rosie has her hands full as a single mother and fourth-year veterinary student, and she certainly wouldn't know a hockey player if she ran into one. She doesn't have time to date, and she's fiercely protective of her little family. But when a chance encounter leads her to Adam, she knows it's worth risking her heart. Unravel Me by Becka Mack was published in August 2023. This is the third book in Playing for Keeps series. 

I absolutely loved Adam in the first two books in this series. He made me chuckle at how he treated his friends. I thought he was one of the laid back. This book like the others have a great flow in the books it ebbed and flowed. But it was not instant love at first sight. There was lots of build up which is great for this book. I absolutely fell in love with Rosie from the beginning of the story. I felt like her and Adam had a reason to be together. I felt like their personalities fit perfectly with each other. As well as Rosie with the other teammates girlfriends. This book made me smile so much and it was worth reading over and over again. I had a hard time putting it down to take care of my children. Sorry kiddos. The smut in this book is light but it's still there. It isn't off putting and really flowed with the rest of the plot. 

Quotes That I Loved

"I, um....I liked walking with you. And talking with you. And eating you. No, fuck."....."Fuck, no, that's not what I ---eating with you. Your sandwiches. Not your..."

"Thing is, Rosie....I don't like to share.......They can't have your noises....They can't have your mouth, the way it opens just for me.....And they sure as shit can't have your eyes.....Because I'm not. Fucking. Sharing."
