Sarina Bowen

Three years ago, hockey player Silas Kelly met the most amazing woman. They were both down on their luck. Then he got that call-the one that tells you to get your buns on a plane to go meet your destiny. The girl was left behind. He didn't have her phone number, and she didn't know his real name. But fate wasn't done with them yet...

Superfan had me grinning from beginning to end! It was so entertaining and had my heart fluttering, thanks to our hot hockey player, Silas!

I'm not a major fan of musicians so I was slightly wary on reading this one. Sarina Bowen had my interest completely when it came to the musical aspect of the story. Delilah is so wonderful and down-to-earth. I love reading the flashbacks of when she first met Silas, and all those moments they would spent together at the bar way back before either was famous.

“Just so you know? You were kind of a big deal to me then. And you still are now.”

I loved seeing Silas so infatuated with Delilah years after they met. It was so adorable and sweet. I loved how Silas treated Delilah. To me, that's what made my heart flutter and had me with a smile from ear to ear.

I was glad to see this wasn't a typical romance when it comes to a Rockstar romance and a sports romance. It had much more depth than I had anticipated. And the characters were so likeable! There wasn't one single moment where I disliked Delilah, even though I for sure thought I would hate her. She truly was so sweet and caring and giving! There was only character I despised with all my being and that was Delilah's ex/manager. Man, that guy had me seeing red. Other than that, I enjoyed everything! Even Mr. Muscles! He melted my heart a little.

“Guy like that you hang onto. I would if he was mine. Hot and super nice. If he’s also good in bed, that’s like a unicorn right there.”

Overall, Superfan is a great second-chance romance that's very feel-good and will have you so giddy!

I LOVED this book! I love Sarina and this was a great addition to the Brooklyn Bruisers.
Silas is incredible. He is so sweet and gentle. It’s nice to see a male character like that, you don’t see so many of them. He’s definitely being added to my book boyfriend list.
Delilah is sassy but has a vulnerability about her that is refreshing.
This whole book is refreshing. I did get a bit confused at times with all the characters, but I did manage to get them straight eventually.
This is a great book, that can be read as a stand-alone if you want, but the series is awesome too, go get reading!

CW: a character is roofied

I always put off reading a Sarina Bowen book for months after it’s release, and when I finally do, I wonder what the hell was I thinking. The same thing happened here, but I’m also glad to have read it now because I need a little happiness among all the intense fantasy books I’m planning to read this month.

I’ve wanted to know more about Silas since we met him last in Overnight Sensation and I thought he was a wonderful friend to Jason. And he is just amazing. We have this impression of what a jock in a romance will be like, and he is exactly the opposite of all our assumptions. He is the sweetest and nicest guy I’ve read about in a long while and I fell completely in love with him from page 1. He is a great friend, a very thoughtful and supportive boyfriend who will do absolutely anything that his girlfriend needs and a good hockey player without any pretensions or ego.

On the other hand, Delilah is a rising pop star but has some severe phobias and low self esteem issues due to past trauma and a very toxic relationship. Even when she is being unfairly treated by her label who’s executive also happens to be her douche ex, she always maintains her dignity and handles herself with grace and poise. She is a lovely and immensely talented young woman and I loved watching her work through and overcome her issues slowly as the story progressed. 

Theirs is a love story about missed connections and destiny and how sometimes life comes full circle. While the majority of the story occurs in a short timeline, the feelings they have for each other are quite old and have been lurking in a corner of their hearts - so this feels more like a slow burn than instalove. I loved their initial meeting years ago and their absolutely adorable twitter meet cute in the present day, and the story just goes on to be more wonderful from there on. 

As I mentioned that Silas is a great friend, its impossible not to find him surrounded by the whole Brooklyn gang and I loved watching them all together. We get to meet Leo and Gigi, Heidi and Jason, Becca, Ari and few more of the team and it was a joy to be among them all again. Their dynamic is hilarious and they also connect with Delilah almost instantaneously, so it was lovely to see her make some friends. Her only closest friend is also her PR manager Becky, and she was a great support. And her new manager Charla is this fierce powerhouse of a woman who scared Delilah as well as me, but was just the right person she needed to negotiate the best deal for her career. 

I’ve read so many books by Sarina but I’ve hardly reviewed any, and I don’t even have a logical reason for it. Maybe it’s just that I fly through her books and they make me very happy but I’m at a loss for words when it comes to describing my feelings. It’s nothing different this time because I didn’t wanna put it down once I started reading, and stayed up very very late to finish. Despite being part of a hockey romance series, hockey takes a backseat here because the story takes place during the off-season. Also, it’s Delilah’s story that’s at the forefront and Silas is present to be her emotional support. The pacing is perfect, the love story is very easy to connect to and while it might not feel relatable, it’s very aspirational and beautiful. The only thing missing was a conflict because they both are too perfect for each other, and while the villain was kind of a cliche, I guess he was needed to up the stakes a bit. 

What more can I say about this book. It’s a beautiful love story and I believe something you should read when you need some sweetness in your life. I don’t think it works as a stand-alone because many previous characters make significant appearances, but if you are a fan of sports romances, you must checkout the Brooklyn Bruisers series from the beginning. This one is not particularly angsty but it was perfect for me. And one thing I promise, you will find an amazing book boyfriend in these pages.

I've been eager for Silas' story since his interest in a certain musician made for a really interesting secondary storyline in Overnight Sensation. I smelled a setup for a second chance romance and, well, that's my catnip. I'm really glad Sarina didn't make me wait all that long before giving me Silas and Delilah's story in Superfan. I needed it and it was 1000% worth the (short) wait. 

I enjoyed the backstory between Silas and Delilah. The snippets I got in Overnight Sensation left me with a lot of questions and a burning desire for more. The way this story was structured gave me the glimpse into the past I needed, while giving me the chance to watch these two come back together in the present day. They were the type of couple you just couldn't help but root for, all the while being just a little sad they didn't get it right the first time around. 

I love love loved Silas. He made it onto my ultimate book boyfriends list for sure. I appreciate a man who doesn't pull any punches. He knew what he wanted and went after her unapologetically when given a second chance. He wore his heart on his sleeve and that made it all the easier for me to give him mine. I loved Delilah as much as I did Silas. She'd found her way into one hell of a pickle with her career, but she wasn't going to sit back and be taken advantage of. I enjoyed her spunk and strength. And she and Silas made a fantastic pair. I loved their story.

I received a complimentary copy of this book for review consideration. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

Some memories are sweeter if you don’t ruin them by hanging on too tightly.
