Just when you think that the Chicago Thunder series of books can’t get any better, Jodi Oliver delivers us another novel that is so amazing it bursts though the stratosphere!
Like most readers of the series, I am awaiting Elliot’s story (which should be the next in the series); having said that this novel I eagerly devoured even if I ended up ugly crying a lot!
Power Forward is the story of Jackson- a newly single dad on the team trying to juggle it all, while also trying to come to terms with his ex from the past Hayden; who’s now a sports agent managing several people including fellow Thunder hockey players and thus their paths soon come across once more.
The best thing I can say about any book is how “real” it feels; as in do the characters feel like people we could know in our lives and do their actions feel like its something we could do and as per all of Jodi Oliver’s novels thus far it continues to be so- in this case perhaps even more so.
Without spoiling much, your heart breaks and feels for both Jackson and Hayden and their past- the feelings are incredibly visceral that it almost becomes too much (in a great way). Jackson and his children are just so loveable and when we dive into Hayden and his past, we just want to hug him soooo much and protect him (and of course Jackson).
This is worth spending your money on!
