When professional hockey player Sig Gauthier’s car breaks down and his phone dies, he treks into a posh private country club to call a tow truck, where he encounters the alluring Chloe Clifford, the manic pixie dream girl who captivates him immediately with her sense of adventure and penchant for stealing champagne.
Sparks fly during a moonlight kiss and the enamored pair can’t wait to see each other again, but when Sig finally arrives to meet his dad’s new girlfriend over dinner, Chloe is confusingly also there. Turns out the girlfriend is Chloe’s mother. Oh, and they’re engaged.
Sig’s dream girl is his future stepsister.
Though the pair is now wary of being involved romantically, Chloe, a sheltered harp prodigy, yearns to escape her controlling mother. Sig promises to teach her the ins and outs of independence in Boston—but not inside his bedroom. They both know there can never be more than friendship between a famous hockey player and his high-society, soon-to-be stepsister. But keeping their relationship platonic grows harder amid the developing family drama, especially knowing they were meant for so much more…

It’s official. Tessa Bailey has become one of my favorite romance authors. Dream Girl Drama had so many things that I love about romance, but I liked the fact that this story had so much more than romance. I loved how Sig convinced her to follow her dream and become more independent. However, part of me wondered if he did it because he wanted Chloe to be closer to him. It didn’t take me long to see how much Sig cared about Chloe. I have been curious about Chloe and Sig since they were introduced in the 2nd book. I was curious about how they met and what had happened since then. I was excited to read their story, and I knew from the first page that it was going to be a story that I would have a hard time putting down.
Most of the book captivated me to the moment where I only put it down when I had to. I liked Sig and how he cared for Chloe; however, I did feel that he was too possessive, which was one of the qualities I didn’t like about him. It just didn’t feel right to me. I couldn't help but wonder what would happen between them, given that their parents were getting married. Their attraction was obvious from the instant they met. Despite their complex relationship, I found myself cheering for them to find a way to be together. Based on how she acted at the beginning of the book, I thought I would have a hard time liking Chloe. Out of all characters, Chloe is the one who took me by surprise with her transformation and ended up becoming one of my favorite characters. That is what I love about this book, most of the characters stand out, including the minor characters.
Wells and Josephine were my favorite couple from this series; Chloe and Sig are now my second favorite. There was something about the two of them; just the way they were with each other, I knew they belonged with each other. Even though there were times that I got annoyed with Sig, I could see his reasons behind it. Big Shots has definitely become one of my favorite sports romance series, and I am excited to read Robbie and Skylar’s story in Pitcher Perfect.
