It's here my friends! The newest addition to the Boston Hawks series is HERE! The Trailblazer by Gina Azzi is a second chance romance slash marriage of convenience. Declan and Vivi are just wonderful. They've touched my heart. I now have a soft spot for them.
Second chance romance is toward the top of my tropes I love list. In The Trailblazer, we find out right away that Genevieve's (Vivi) grandfather has just passed away, and he changed something in his will. He said that for Genevieve to continue with her current role within the company, she needs to be married by her birthday. If not, then things will be shifting. This immediately throws Genevieve for a loop, and she doesn't know what to do. A marriage of convenience will have to work. Now she just needs to convince her best friend to marry her. Flash forward a couple weeks. Declan is about to take the ice when his dad calls. It is then that Declan is filled in on the passing of his mentor, and also that his Vivi is getting married. That prompts Declan to head to Tennessee. Returning to Tennessee changes everything for Declan and Vivi. And it's all for the better.
This story, oh this story. First of all it should be obvious that I loved it. Afterall I have loved all the stories with the Boston Hawks team, so I knew it would be fabulous. Declan and Vivi have wormed there way into my heart. I will say I was a bit worried toward the beginning that maybe it wouldn't work out. There was just so much pain and heartache that Vivi was dealing with. Plus the secret she had been keeping was digging at her. Yet she knew that she still loved Declan. After a little bit of time they were able to work through the issues of the past,Vivi was introduced to a fantastic group of women, and she was loved on. Having Vivi back in his life was a good thing for Declan too. I think it relaxed him, it settled him. He had someone he loved at home that he was excited to return to. That scene before the team left for Cali...I knew something was going to happen. I knew what was going on with Vivi. I wasn't prepared though for how everything played out. The tears flowed. Kleenex were required. Oh my heart. I just love these characters. Absolutely love them. Now don't worry, everything is fine with our characters. Their lives continue on, and they find their HEA. We also get a glimpse into their future, and oh what a future it is.
If you're a hockey romance lover, and haven't read the Boston Hawks series, please do. The characters are amazing, and their stories are everything. Now naturally I am going to say to start at the beginning with The Sweet Talker, because that's just how I am. But really these are standalones, so you can jump in at any point. Go read this series. Go fall for the team, and their love interests. You won't regret it.
Thank you for taking time to read my thoughts on The Trailblazer. I love this book, these characters, and the entire series.

I always knew I’d marry my first everything, Declan Yaeger, the Southern boy with Irish roots. That was before he became my first heartbreak, a NHL superstar with a playboy reputation I no longer recognize.
The summer he left our small, Tennessee town, to pursue his hockey dream is the summer my life changed. That was seven years ago, before he became a defenseman for the Boston Hawks. Before I became fixated on my career, losing pieces of myself along the way.
To protect my grandfather's legacy, I agree to marry my oldest childhood friend, Henry. But when I enter the Church on my wedding day, the grey eyes piercing mine aren’t my fiancé’s.
They’re Declan’s, the last person I expect to show up with an offer of his own. One I can’t refuse even though my heart should know better than to accept.
Will my marriage to Declan heal the broken between us? Or are we destined to repeat the mistakes of our past?
