Olivier by Brenda Rothert
Available Now | Chicago Blaze, #9
Daphne
I knew who I was before Olivier Durand came along. Despite growing up among the privileged elite, I never cared about corporate ladders or dream weddings. I proudly wear the label of social justice warrior. Until a car accident changes everything overnight.
A video goes viral: Chicago’s Hottest Bachelor, billionaire Olivier Durand pulling me from my burning car. When he sets his sights on me, the whole world is watching.
He can chase after me all he wants, but my answer will be the same: I loathe the ultra-wealthy. Even when they’re handsome, persuasive and...I have to admit, charming. It’s a hell no from me, though. Until suddenly, I’m not sure I’m the woman I thought I was.
Olivier
Now I know how the players on the NHL team I own must feel. Relentlessly hounded. Once the video of me pulling a woman from her burning car goes viral, privacy becomes a thing of the past. For what-ever reason, Twitter has collectively decided this woman and I should become a romantic thing. A hashtag combining my name with hers is trending daily.
Absolute nonsense.
But then I meet her, and realize Twitter got it right. Daphne Barrington is beautiful, funny, brilliant and sweet. Now I just have to convince her to date me. Easier said than done.
She’s maddeningly stubborn, and my deep desire to be with her soon has me writing massive checks. Not for jewelry or cars, but to charities.
Winning Daphne’s heart is going to cost me, and I’m not sure even I have enough money to do it.

This is the finale of the series and you can easily read this as a stand alone. I don't know what that says about the book. It was an ok way to end the series. We see a few of the players from previous books. But this book is about the owner so there is very little hockey happening.
Daphne and Olivier meet in the most tragic of circumstances. That day allows for a niggle of energy to run between them. Little does Olivier know, but he has his work cut out for him Daphne is not about to get involved with anyone who represents her parent's lifestyle.
There was some chemistry there but I got more of a sense of common ground between them vs actual lust/love happening. Things improved by the end of the book. They seemed more connected.
I am a fan of reading series completely through. So I won't say to just skip this book. It was my least favorite of the bunch.
