Fragile Hearts

by R. Sullins

Holly

When my dad, and boss, announced I’d be interviewing Trent Frost, I wasn't sure how I could pull it off. Trent was the hottest hockey player both on and off the ice. He was also notorious for his staunch refusal to allow any journalist near him. But my dad made it very clear my future in the company which had been in our family for generations was on the line.

Trent

I had no intentions on ever breaking the rule I had for reporters. To me, they were some of the worst humans on the planet. But one look at the beautiful woman, was enough to break me. I'd never wanted anything as much as I wanted her. I knew once I had her I would never be the same again.

We just hadn't realized how our one amazing night together would ruin us both.

Please this story was previously published in the 2023 Santa Baby Anthology. It has been updated, but the story is the same.

This is a short but sweet and spicy secret baby insta love romance by the amazing R Sullins. Don't let the length fool you, it's a great story and very well written. The fmc Holly, is forced to get an interview from the famous Hockey Player Trent. Her father tells her she has to if she wants to keep her job. She arrives at the interview only to find out that there was a goof by his assistant because Trent does not do interviews. But the attraction between Trent and Holly is instant and the two share just one amazing night together, only for Holly to disappear the next day. Trent wants to find her. But when their paths cross again, things aren't what he expected. They're better. I really liked this story. The spice is good for a quick read but it isn't one of those that feels like it is just smut with very little plot. It's got a good amount of both spice and plot. Add in a dash of sweetness and you have a great book!

Super cute, sweet and short!
Holly's been manipulated by her parents all her life, so unlike her older sister, she’s done everything they’ve asked her to.
Trent is a hockey player that never accepts interviews but once he sees Holly he’s gone and rapidly says yes to an interview with her at his house.
They have an incredible night together and in the morning get separated (neither wants to be away from each other). They stay apart for 4 years.

Safety gang:
- Both virgins.
- No OP drama. Only drama with his publicist, an old woman.
- Both faithful during separation.
- Epilogue a few moths later.

Holly's parents own only claim the daughters that are perfect and do what they're asked. Holly's mission is to get an interview with hockey superstar Trent. After they see each other for the first time, sparks fly. Trent knows she's the only one for him. However someone comes between them and Holly is forced to leave him the next morning. 4 years go by before they reconnect, with secrets that Holly has never been able to tell Trent.

This story was so good but heartbreaking at the same time. Definitely worth the read!.

Holly has to interview Trent the famous hockey player who hates doing them. Trent’s new assistant makes an appointment with Holly and then when she gets there he explains he made a mistake. Trent sees Holly and there is an instant attraction on both of them. They have one beautiful night, and then Holly disappears. Can he find her and make Holly his forever? Great characters and storyline Highly recommended Amazing book. I love Holly and Trent and their dynamic and character development. This book is short, sweet, and the spice is so good. I love this book I wanted more.

The way the MMC talked and acted gave me the Ick. I didn't like him or the way he was written, but because of the fact it is a romance book, and he was involved in a good chunk of it I overall didn't enjoy it. He was gross because he was fetishizing a pregnant woman's body and was sad he didn't get to see her breasts when she was pregnant or when she was nursing, he also was like I need to see them so bad Imma put another baby in you. Gross.

Holly's father gave her the task of interviewing hockey play Trent in order to keep her place in the family journalist buisness, only Trent doesn't do interview. One look and Trent know Holly was the one for him, giving into desires only to be torn apart the next day. Now 4 years on their paths cross and secrets unravel. Well written steamy fast paced, quick, hockey romance.

Sweet and Spicy
I loved all of it! The storyline, the characters, and everything in between.

Filled with spice, drama, and so many feelings.

There was an instant connection between Holly and Trent. The passion and love between them was a chef's kiss.
As Holly says something similar...their beginning was amazing, their middle was heartbreaking, but their ending was a new beginning to something beautiful.

I liked this sweet romantic story. Holly is hesitant and powerless, forced into a role she didn’t like or want. She meets Trent and thing change dramatically.
This is a good story about misunderstandings, true love and sweet romance. Honestly, I thought Holly should have made Trent work more for their reunion.
This is a good 4 star read.

The author has given us a heart wrenching story that pulls us into the lives of Trent and Holly. The fast-paced story keeps us turning the pages with connection, obstruction, heartbreak and steam.

This is the fifth book in the Sweet & Spicy Insta Love Shorts series. This is a very sweet secret baby romance. I loved Trent and Holly. My heart just broke when a meddling witch broke them apart. Even though it a short story, it’s still has a solid storyline. I enjoyed it so much!
