New York Gods Book 4: The Substitute by Andi Jaxon & JR Gray

New York Gods Book 4

Competing with my step-brother for my roommates attention makes me hate him so much more than I already do.

I saved his life the same night I burned mine to the ground and now the guy who’s haunted my dreams for months is my new roommate. This should be great except I met him on the worst night of his life and all he sees is that I’m a hockey player.

Only made worse when my cocky, confident, infuriating step-brother, Savage, decides to flirt with Tobi to get under my skin.

Jealousy eats at me when I see life coming back into Tobi’s eyes when he smiles at his phone.

Savage knows it too, pushing me into competing for Tobi until my head is so twisted I don’t know what or who I want anymore.

Now I have to see his pretty face at my door and on the ice.

I can’t have my dream and both of them. The media will eat me alive.

Right?

My Review: 5/5 Stars

With the way the last book ended, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on Tobi’s story. And it didn’t disappoint! Tobi has felt alone and invisible for a while. And it breaks him a bit when he finds out that his best friend, who he has feelings for, has been seeing his brother behind his back. He’s hurt and confused and feeling a lot. And it’s overwhelming to a really bad point. But someone stops him from doing something on his darkest day and months later that person shows up back into his life as his new roommate. Ambrose never thought he would see Tobi again and kicks himself for not getting his name or number. But what are the chances of him being his new roommate? Feels like fate. But this time Tobi doesn’t want much to do with him since he learns Ambrose is a hockey player. Doesn’t mean he’ll stop trying. Even when his stepbrother, Savage, starts hanging out with Tobi too. It’s a fight for Tobi’s affections between them. And as for Tobi, he can’t really choose between them. He starts having feelings for both. They all know about one another. They all know the stakes. Yet…the three of them can’t stay away from one another. I really liked this story! It’s clear that Tobi needs both Savage and Ambrose in his life. They care about him even when Tobi doesn’t know how to believe or handle that. And neither are letting go. It’s a MMM story with a slow build up for the the three of them to become more. But it’s an emotional journey as all three have things they have gone through. They work best together in more ways than one and I loved watching them fall in love and realize they finally found what they’ve been looking for. Another great story in this series and I can’t wait for the next one!

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
