Synopsis:

Defenseman. Devoted. Dad.

Player on and off the ice, Russell Stewart’s life was upended when his girlfriend got pregnant and left him holding the baby. Two years later, he’s finally moved on, gotten back on track, and is balancing his life as a father, student, and hockey player like a professional juggler.

His daughter Jude is his entire world. He has no time for distractions. Especially a funny, brilliant, and bubbly woman with a penchant for musicals.

Regaining trust after heartbreak is hard. Can Russell protect his daughter, and his heart, when his past comes back to haunt him?

Review:

I've enjoyed this story so much, the single dad trope is one of my favourite.

Russell is a college student, a hockey player and a single dad of a little girl. He has so many things on his plate he doesn't even imagine he could have a relationship. When he met Sabrina, a fellow student, he uselessly tries to resist their attraction.

I liked Sabrina and Russell relationship, they are sweet and funny, but at times I thought they weren't the best choice for each other because I was scared that Sabrina was too kind and not very assertive to stand up to Russell. In the end they succeed to understand each other mitigating their flaws and trusting each other with their hearts.

Two for Holding is a well written story that kept my interest, fortunately I already have next book in the series and I don't have to wait.
