I’m so happy the Reapers are back! Sterling is the next installment of Samantha Whiskey’s Carolina Reapers series which is one of my favorites of all time.
Jansen, a goalie has returned to the Reapers after being traded during the expansion draft a few years earlier. London is a recent college graduate who has been hired as a game day coordinator for the team. They meet on Jansen’s first day back at the arena in a malfunctioning elevator. He helps London through her extreme claustrophobia and quickly falls for her. The feeling appears to be mutual. But once they’re rescued, she immediately falls into the arms of Jansen’s archenemy - his half brother Maxim. He and Caz, London’s brother and Maxim’s best friend, have also joined the team via a trade. Jansen backs off as he believes Maxim wants her and he doesn’t want the added stress of starting anything with a teammate’s sister.
London’s job is to coordinate publicity for the team. The team’s campaign is centered around the two brothers getting along on and off the ice. Jansen isn’t interested but agrees to help London out only if she agrees to let him help her with her claustrophobia. It’s a win for Jansen as well as he wants to see if what he felt in the elevator was real. As expected, their chemistry ignites and they quickly become more than friends and fall for one another. Unfortunately London fears that her achievements at work will be overshadowed if their relationship is made public. This plays up on his greatest fear of being someone’s dirty secret. Although they love one another, their relationship is tested by the stress of hiding their feelings from the world as well as the escalating issues between the two brothers.
This book had it all. Great character development, excellent (ok hot) chemistry between our hero and heroine, and just the right amount of drama to keep it interesting.
Once again, it’s another winner for Samantha Whiskey! Let’s hope we get books about Maxim and Caz in the near future.
I am thankful to have received an ARC from the author in exchange for my honest review.

Two Brothers ~ One Love
Jansen Sterling - well what’s there to say about this character. Fans of the Carolina Reapers Series have been waiting to read his story when he first showed up a few books back and we got a small glimpse of his story with Max, I loved it as I knew I would.Sterling may have been close off with certain parts of his life when it came to his father and Maxim for that matter but when it came to London he was all in as quick as that elevator stopped.I loved reading this story even when I wanted to hurt London for not wanting to shout from the rooftops that she was with Sterling for fear of her brother or work. It took her what seemed like for ever to come to that realization that things weren’t going to blow up if she just took that step.The secondary characters in this book where so great and I can’t wait to see what books come from Samantha next in the Carolina Reapers world. Caz or Max would for sure be on my list along with Briggs but hey that’s just me ☺️I received this book as an ARC from the author for a serious review and I loved it.
