ARC Review:Superfan (Brooklyn #3) by Sarina Bowen


Coming June 25! Preorder at: Amazon | Apple | Kobo | Nook

Sometimes lady luck shakes your hand, and sometimes she smacks your face. Sometimes she does both on the same day.

Three years ago I met the most amazing girl in the world. We were both down on our luck. Then I got that call—the one that tells you to get your buns on a plane to go meet your destiny.

But the girl was left behind. I didn’t have her phone number, and she didn’t know my real name.

While I became a professional hockey player, she became a superstar, with platinum records and legions of fans. And a slick, music producer boyfriend who treated her badly.

But fate wasn’t done with us yet. When Delilah turns up at a hockey game, I can’t resist making contact. The internet swoons when I ask her out on a date.

She might not remember me. But her jerkface ex does. He’ll do anything to keep us apart.

Good thing athletes never give up. This time I’m playing to win.

What I thought about Superfan 

Silas Kelly met the beautiful and talented Delilah Sparks before he started playing for the Brooklyn Bruisers, but he hasn't forgotten her.  When the opportunity to see her again presents itself, he can only hope she'll forgive him for standing her up years ago.

Delilah is a rising singer/ songwriter who got mixed up with a bad deal, bad manager, and bad boyfriend all wrapped up in one. She's broken it off with him, and when Silas suddenly shows up in her life, she remembers how he made her feel. It doesn't take them long to pick up where they left off, even though their circumstances and situations are very different from when they met. They really are just perfect for each other from the minute they share the page together.

There's a bit of suspense when situations from Silas' and Delilah's past collide and threaten their joint happiness. They have a few hurdles to get through before they can make it to the final pages of the story and their happily ever after.

This is a sweet second chance romance -- Silas and Delilah couldn't be much better with each other and they truly deserve another chance, which comes about in quite a cute and humorous fashion.  There's a heaping helping of characters from other books in this series and their significant others which I always love in a series and I'll admit I just had to go and re-read Bountiful again just because of one adorable scene.

Superfan can absolutely be read standalone, but I definitely recommend this entire series. While some of the conflict was predictable, it was overshadowed by the romantic elements of the story because Silas and Delilah are just so cute together! Another winner in this series!

An ARC was provided for review.

I like this author. I'm glad to see this one was great so far into the series. Fantastic review! It's kind of Carrie Underwood IRL, although I have no idea how she and her husband met. I just mean the singer / hockey player.

I adore this author's stories (as you can tell by my goodreads account)...They are always entertaining and have become my comfort "read" when I need something to soothe my soul. I didn't think about the Carrie Underwood connection, but now that you mention it :-)

I'm never disappointed with anything by this author! Thanks for stopping by Anne!
