Thea Jenson has her future meticulously planned out. Graduate from college. Get a job. Marry her high school sweetheart and have two beautiful children. When she decides to transfer schools, her brother suggests she move in with him and his unruly hockey roommates. Everything in her life is going according to her plan . . .

. . . until she bumps into Kyler in their kitchen and sparks fly.

Kyler Rose, the starting center for the Northport University hockey team, is done for the moment he lays his eyes on Thea. But he can’t allow her to become a distraction. He’s determined to make it to the NHL. That’s if he doesn’t get booted for failing grades first. And even though he’s on scholarship, it doesn’t pay his bills or provide for his family. Neither do the tips he earns from his bartending gig. When an offer to make some fast cash falls in his lap, he takes it, thinking no one will care if he gets hurt . . .

. . . except Thea does care.

But just as Kyler finds a way to navigate his feelings for Thea, an unexpected link to his family comes to light and he finds himself in the fight of his life to protect those he loves the most - his family.

Everything We Are by Darby Blake and Sienna Ray Review

Everything We Are by Darby Blake
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Darby Blake and Sienna Ray have a game-winner with EVERYTHING WE ARE. In this story, Thea Jenson transfers schools when she decides to switch her major from prelaw to nutrition and diet. She will attend the University of Northport and live with her brother Jude and three of his hockey teammates. Her and her boyfriend of four years, Adam Nelson, decide to pursue a long-distance relationship. She befriends her brooding roommate Kyler Rose, which Adam does not accept.

Thea is a wonderful heroine. She grows a lot through this novel. I have a nephew named Kyler, so of course I instantly liked this character. He is a mysterious loner. He is on scholarship. He is a star player on the hockey team. He is a bartender to make additional money to help his family and pay for essentials. Kyler is really devoted to his sister Ally, niece Lacey, and his mom. He is protective of the people he loves.

EVERYTHING WE ARE is a heartwarming a realistic story. It has interesting twists and is attention grabbing from start to finish. I love how the characters in the story are intertwined. I would love to see a sequel to this story with Thea’s friend Millie Kennedy and their roommate Nolan Fisher. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.
