Gah, Silas! Cinnamon roll of all cinnamon roll heroes!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sarina Bowen\u2019s SUPERFAN<\/a>, her latest set in the Brooklyn Bruisers world, finally gives us the lowdown on Silas Kelly\u2019s longstanding crush on pop star Delilah Sparks. In this second chance romance. Delilah Sparks is the one who got away. They knew each other before either one was famous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Dark<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Three years have gone by when Silas spots Delilah at an LA\/Dallas playoff game, rooting for and wearing a Dallas<\/em> jersey. He pulls a few strings and a Bruisers jersey is delivered to her at her seat along with a bet for a date. Silas\u2019 crush on Delilah has always been adorably cheesy, it\u2019s a fitting (re)meet cute. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As usual, there\u2019s great chemistry between Silas and Delilah. We get a look at how they first met. He\u2019s super supportive of her dreams and her career from the get-go in a way that her douchebag boyfriend Brett actually is not. And then Silas totally blows it. It\u2019s only because he\u2019s such a good guy otherwise that I gave him the benefit of the doubt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For me, SUPERFAN ends up being more of a rockstar romance than hockey, so if that’s your jam, you’ll be happy. There’s a lot of focus on Delilah and her issues with her record label and management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I liked that Silas and Delilah are both committed to their careers (on opposite coasts), and for once, it\u2019s the dude making work sacrifices for the relationship, and doing it willingly. At the same time, I just didn\u2019t really care about all the music industry business and drama with trying to get her album released. (Just personal preference). And there\u2019s a scene in a Starbucks that had me giving Delilah big time side eye. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

No one has said it\u2019s the last one, but if this ends up being the last Bruisers hockey book, it is a fitting ending. It\u2019s great to see Silas get his HEA. The whole Bruisers crew makes an appearance, Delilah totally gels with Rebecca, Georgia and Ari. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And we definitely get some set up for what looks like it’ll be a romantic suspense spin off\u2026Moonlighter<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3.5 stars<\/p>\n\n\n\n
