Book Review: So This is War

I can’t believe I’m at the end of the Vancouver Agitators series. If I had read So This is War earlier, I would’ve included this series in my recent post about completed series I will always recommend. This series is so funny and spicy – I love it.

This final installment in the series follows Levi Posey and Wylie Wood. Levi is probably the goofiest of the guys in the series and is known to be crazy about bologna. In the previous books, it’s been hinted that he had some kind of secret crush or something going on. We find out in this book that a year ago he met a girl at a bar and really hit it off with her. They were about to go to his hotel room when she abruptly left before Levi even learned her name. He’s been pining for her and searching for her ever since.

That girl was Wylie and she left because even though he had no idea who she was, she knew who he was – a hockey player for the Vancouver Agitators, the team her dad coaches. She saw her dad walk into the hotel bar so she left before he saw her with Levi. Fast forward a year and Wylie tells her dad that she doesn’t want to continue pursuing her masters degree in business and pursue a career in art instead. Her father will have none of that and makes a “deal” with her. He’ll get her a job so she can see what it would be like to have to work while she tries to make it as an artist. If she can prove to him that she can make it work, he’ll support her decision. But, if she fails, she’ll have to go back to school. What Wylie doesn’t know is that her dad has a plan. He is going to make Posey hire Wylie as his personal assistant and make her do ridiculous tasks to ensure she fails. Tasks such as retyping whole books into a font he likes and going out to buy him fresh bagels at 1am every night, etc. Posey doesn’t need an assistant, but if he doesn’t listen to his coach he will make his life hell. Little does he know the coach’s daughter is the girl he’s been looking for for the past year.

It doesn’t take long before Wylie realizes what Posey and her dad are up to, so she begins torturing Posey back by using their shared attraction for each other to make him go through “erotic torture” i.e. walking around without a bra etc. Before long, the war is on between them.

I loved this book! It was funny and I loved Posey and Wylie. Posey is so funny and ridiculous, but I loved seeing how much he cared about Wylie and how much it really tore at him to have to ask her to do absurd tasks. This was a great book to end the series, but I do wish there was a little more of the other guys in the book although I did love seeing the girls helping Posey out with his war.

Since all of Meghan Quinn’s books exist in the same universe and there have been cameos from other characters in her other books including this series, I’m hoping it’s not the last we see of these characters! She has said that there will be a book about OC in the future and I know he’s cousins with Lottie and Kelsey from the Cane Brothers series and there’s an Almond Bay connection too so I’m hopeful this isn’t the last we see of this cast of characters!

Read this book if you want a spicy hockey romcom with the age gap and forbidden romance tropes.
