I liked this one because the H really did need forgiving. It was his own bad choices and insensitive self absorbed douchiness that led to her leaving him. And he honestly faces these truths and makes an effort to change himself and be a better man for her (and himself too).

It's a simple plot. H had a bad childhood that led to his current messed up view of relationships and women. He wants to be with Elizabeth and works at seducing her past her better judgement (all the blatant evidence of his man-whore ways). I loved how Elizabeth was a nice person to him despite his questionable moral compass. I think it annoyed him that she didn't sit in judgement of him.
Anyways, of course they get together and he stays true to her except that he still lets female fans touch him inappropriately at every opportunity. He keeps Elizabeth like a dirty secret.
One day he goes too far and she was already getting fed up with his hypocrisy.
So she leaves, finds she's pregnant and has even more reason to not settle for less when it comes to relationships. She's a sexy nerd who is awesome in the kitchen. He is a self absorbed hockey star who loves his work but soon comes to love her more.

He really does change his ways and I believed his redemption arc. There's also good side characters and humour to keep the story from getting too 'Harlequiny-serious'. Elizabeth was quite slow to forgive but I was good with that, because the best forgiveness is the kind well groveled for ; )

Safety is technically good. She lives next door for a few weeks before they become an item and sees lots of puck bunnies doing the walk of shame from his apartment in the mornings. He has no sexual interest in other women once they are together and even a bit before that. But he lets puck bunnies paw him and kiss him and he kisses them on the cheeks and puts his arms around them. But just before Elizabeth finally looses her shit over this, he provokes her by kissing one of the women on the mouth, AFTER she begs him not to. He goes on a bit of a bender after she leaves but even then he doesn't cheat on her. He just got in a lot of fights. Of course he gets his act together to win her back...

This story had so many feels. Rig letting the puck bunnies touch him and kiss him inappropriately was horrible, but Rig refusing to allow anybody to know that Elizabeth was his girlfriend, and keeping his relationship with her in the shadows, was just devastating. This story had a bit of knife to the gut angsty feels, a secret pregnancy, some serious epic grovel and a beautiful ending. Love, love, LOVED this one.

======================
There are funny scenes, but the hero is a douchecanoe and our heroine is an adorable nerd.

[Laura · Rating 2 out of 5]

***TRIGGER WARNING: Book opens with a flashback scene of child abuse where Elizabeth gets thrown against a wall by a foster parent. ***

**Safety: Questionable cheating: MCs were sleeping together for months but Hero refused to label them as a couple, so they weren't technically together. Cheating-ish moment happened when he deliberately kissed a girl in front of the heroine for two seconds. During their time together, he continued his habit of letting "puck bunnies" sit on his lap, touch him, and he kissed their cheeks for pictures/fan service. Neither of them slept with anyone else after their first time together.



I'm not too sure how I feel about Rig; he gave me a bit of whiplash. In the beginning, he was very conceited and was generally the kind of guy that you'd want to gut-punch for his thoughts and his actions. In the middle, he was transformed by Elizabeth's disappearance into a drunken, brawling tornado, and then he's suddenly transformed again into a caring, dedicated man who's in love with Elizabeth. I didn't feel it and I wasn't convinced. I think if there had been one chapter in Rig's POV within the 6-month time-jump when he was constantly drunk and going crazy over Elizabeth being gone, getting into his thoughts might've convinced me more of his feelings for her. Either that or if the story itself had been longer to give the MCs more page time together as a couple after they're reunited.

Elizabeth put up with a lot regarding Rig. I'm honestly not sure what else to say about her; I feel neutral towards her.

There's one part of this that's probably going to piss people off one way or another: Elizabeth doesn't tell Rig that she's pregnant based on his behavior. Her friend/foster sister Willow went behind her back and took the decision out of her hands by inviting Rig to the hospital where Elizabeth was admitted for random bleeding in a late stage of pregnancy.

I guess to wrap this up, I'll just say that I can see the potential in the MCs as a couple, but Rig's turnaround was a little too sudden and there wasn't enough showing to convince me, despite the words and grand gesture. Bottom line: more suffering and groveling required.

Trigger warnings: Physical cheating (the MMC kisses OW in front of FMC when she expressed she didn’t like that. He has been physical with fans and didn’t respect the FMC’s boundaries. Physical as in letting them sit in his lap, touch his abs, kissed their cheeks and they kissed his), foster care with verbally and physically abusive parent, mention of drugs, mutism

Note: The author who has added the books to Goodreads is not the author who has written these books (the account is not theirs, this has been verified by the author on Wattpad). Out of respect for the author, I won’t post detailed reviews for these books. I’ll add trigger warnings for those who wanna check them out as well as the link to where to read them. I’ll have personal ratings for me but I won’t be posting them either. I have already read a lot of their books and might have to copy and paste some portions of this on other "reviews" since I do wanna add these books to my shelves. But their books are freely available on Wattpad, they are kind enough to let their stories be free for us all to read. Unfortunately, a lot of people have plagiarized from this author and have tried to add their books to pay-per-chapter apps. If you can help and report this when you see it, that would help a ton.

Link to book: https://www.wattpad.com/story/3046245...

Elizabeth is in a friends-with-benefits relationship with Rig, who is a famous hockey player. He refuses to label their relationship. He has always had no boundaries with fans. When he is supposed to meet Elizabeth, he comes late with fans all over him. Elizabeth wanted to tell him something important but didn’t end up getting to. She sees him being physical with fans again and tries to confront him. He then kisses a fan in front of her and Elizabeth is done and leaves him. She disappears but 6 months later and he finds out she was pregnant.

Happy reading folks. I love GroveltoHEA and they have surprised me by making MMCs do TERRIBLE things and have me forgive them with grovel. And y’all know how much I love grovel. There are so many things I’m against but they somehow manage to make it work. And even if I don’t forgive the MMC entirely, the stories are so well-written.

This story is posted on Wattpad and can be read free there.
Please be aware in all these books the Hero messes up in varying degrees from saying something very disloyal to full out cheating, each story is different.

Just to clarify in this story the Hero meets the heroine and they start having sex with no labels, he still flirts and allows puck bunnies to kiss his cheek etc, despite the heroine saying it bothered her.

Then when she does try to push he kisses another woman on the lips in front of her.
I felt she was a bit of a push over throughout tbh.

Note from the author.

Here's what you'll get with my stories:
A strong h.
An H who messes up (never the h!) with either cheating (and I consider kissing OW cheating) or some other betrayal.
An H who gets his a$$ handed to him for said mess up.
An H doing the grovel to HEA! (Always, always, always have to have an HEA between the H and h, but the H has to really work for it.)
And, in cases of nasty OW...karma will be stopping by to say hello.

What you'll never get:
An h moving on to another man in a serious way.
The h having revenge s3x (it's just not going to happen).
The h and OW becoming friends (that is also never going to happen).

[Danny Lea · Rating 4 out of 5]

I seriously must be desensitized because this H wasn't that bad at all. I mean he did mess up, but he changed and had personal growth I would say if you compare him to the previous heroes in this series. Thankfully Elizabeth didn't annoy so much. Though her treatment of Willow was shitty. Everyone in the comments on Wattpad loved how Willow was getting chewed out by everyone. I thought it was distasteful and threatening to disown her after she told Rig that Elizabeth was pregnant with his child. Look I hate when heriones refuse to tell the heroes in books when they're pregnant with their babies. Unless he's a mass murderer or something. It's a pet peeve of mine. I find it extremely immature and childish and know people in real life this has happened to. And suffice to say it destroyed the child's life. So a star is taken off for that. Especially because Elizabeth said her daughters life would be in danger...from what exactly? Having all the money she'd have in child support payments? Rig was no serial killer for crying out loud you drama queen 😂. Good lord these foster sisters are dramatic 😂

3.5✯

-dual POV
-insta attraction -> love
-Elizabeth is a virgin, Rig is a hoe
-Rig was with others after meeting Elizabeth/he wasn't with anyone else after having sex with her
-Rig was afraid of commitment due to the trauma he experienced in his childhood so when he started hooking up with Elizabeth he didn't want to make it official, he refused to call her 'girlfriend' and whenever they were out he would introduce her as his neighbour, he panicked every time she tried to talk about the future or her feelings for him
-Elizabeth had a problem with how touchy Rig was with the puck bunnies, he would let them sit on his lap, he would kiss their cheeks and let them touch his abs, she told him it made her uncomfortable but he said he was just being nice to the fans, that it was part of his job... the big drama happened when Elizabeth went to see him after a game (they had been hooking up for several months at this point), he didn't notice she was there and she saw him with 2 almost naked girls under his arms, one of them reached up to kiss his cheek and then nuzzled his neck 🤢, she whispered something in his ear, the idiot laughed and pressed a kiss to her temple after whispering into her ear 🤢🤢, she then reached up and kissed him on the lips that's when he locked eyes with Elizabeth, she tried to leave but he stopped her and told her not to make a big deal out of the situation, that they had been over this a hundred times and that he'd already told her it was his job to be nice to the fans, Elizabeth was hurt, she told him she thought they had something special but he said that they had made no promises, he told her that the woman had kissed HIM, that it would've been different if he had kissed HER, he told Elizabeth 'now this is something you can fault me for, this is MY decision' and just to prove his stupid point he grabbed the woman by the waist and kissed her on the lips, and he did this after Elizabeth begged him not do it 😒... he deliberately kissed that girl (just for 2 seconds btw) in front of Elizabeth to prove to her that he was still in control of his life, he said he knew he'd fucked up the moment his lips touched the OW's lips
-separation: Elizabeth left Rig after he kissed the OW, she went to London and stayed there for 6 months, during this time she found out she was pregnant, when she came back her friend/sister Willow told Rig where she was (Elizabeth was furious with her because she wasn't planning on telling him about the baby)... she didn't forgive him right away, he took care of her during her pregnancy and completely changed his lifestyle (he actually started making those changes when she left him), he groveled for several months before she forgave him (after the incident with the OW, he stopped flirting with the puck bunnies and enforced a hands-off policy)
-I really disliked Rig at the beginning, he was such a douche, I thought I was gonna hate him til the end but he grew on me, unlike the last 2 books I felt his regret which I really appreciated, the groveling was also so much better than the last 2 books... another thing I liked was that Rig was planning on proposing to her before he knew about the baby
-good epilogue: many years later - married with 6 kids (I loved that they named their first kid 'Funfetti' 🤭)
-----------------------

"You never give me a break about the fans, Elizabeth. This is part of my job." "Maybe if your job title is man whore." "We're not exclusive, Elizabeth. You're not my girlfriend." I almost choked at that. "You've been sleeping with other women this whole time?" I was horrified. Maybe I could hire someone to throat punch him for me since I was going to be too busy getting tested for every STD known to man. "No, but I could have been. We made no promises." I waved my hand at their clasped hands. "So we're nothing to each other? We're just casual? We're both free to sleep around? You kissed her and are currently holding her hand right in front of me. Is that OK, Rig? Because it's not OK in my eyes. With all your talk of me being patient with you because you'd never done this before, I thought we had something."

*******************************************

"It's hard watching them put their hands on you and seeing you kiss them." "It's not like I'm kissing them on their lips, Elizabeth. It doesn't go any farther than that. Just typical fan stuff." "It's just that...the way you act with them makes me feel like you could be here with any girl right now and it wouldn't matter to you, as long as you had a warm body beside you." "Not true," I argued, but refused to give her more. I would not give her that power. Don't let one tie you down. "What am I to you? Anything special?" she asked. "Or just one of the crowd?" "Why do we have to label this?" I demanded, panicked that she was trying to back me into a corner, feeling like a noose was tightening around my neck. "Why can't we just enjoy this for a while without worrying about anything else?"

*******************************************

"Am I the only one starting to have feelings?" "I'm not ready for anything committed," I told her honestly, refusing to answer the feelings question and hoping like hell she didn't run out. "You try to push me, Elizabeth, that's not gonna work out well." "Are you...are you doing this," she waved her hand between us, "with anyone else?" "No." But I was tempted, every single day, to go out and prove Elizabeth didn't have me by the balls. Walking away from the puck bunnies and their offers was difficult because it meant I was choosing Elizabeth every time I turned them down. Show her she doesn't own you, the little devil on my shoulder said. Fortunately, up to this point, I hadn't yielded to his prodding.

*******************************************

I was so pissed I couldn't even think straight. Rig's Twitter feed had apparently blown up last night and when I checked it this morning, it was all girls tagging pictures of themselves to Rig's account last night showing Rig and his two wingmen at a bar. They were all over him; numerous pictures included the usual Rig kissing their cheek shots and even a few where the girl was pulling up his shirt and feeling his abs. Abs I'd been kissing, that had been pressed intimately against me just hours before. #Kissin'Carson, #bestabsinnhl, #lovehiskisses, #number1fan, #Rigismine, #Rigisamanwhore OK, that last hashtag was my own invention, but it was right on target.

*******************************************

"Seeing girls sitting in your lap, you kissing their cheeks, them feeling up your abs – that's not fooling around? We have really different definitions of that then. That's not how you treat fans; that's how you treat cheap whores. You left my bed and went drinking with at least twenty different girls who all tagged you in their tweets and all of them show some kind of touching or kissing." "I can't help what people tweet about me." "No, but you can control what happens. You don't have to let the girls touch you and you sure as hell don't have to kiss their cheeks, let them touch your abs or sit on your lap. You can maintain a distance." "They're fans. They don't mean anything." "And I obviously don't mean anything to you either, Rig. It hurts me. You won't define what we have – you won't say we have anything but sex, and that's on me for letting you get away with that and for putting up with your sleaze brigade. But your behavior hurts me. A lot."

*******************************************

"So, after telling him you'd blocked his number and deleted his contact info, I asked why he needed to apologize. I swear he started to get tears in his eyes, Elizabeth. For a minute I thought I was going to have to smack him, but he pulled himself together. I asked him if he thought an apology could ever take back what he'd done, choosing his slut brigade over you and demonstrating that you were nothing to him. He looked gutted, like totally defeated. He said he needed to apologize and he'd spend the rest of his life making it up to you, but he couldn't take losing you. So I just looked at him – and remember I was still really pissed – and said, 'It's too late, motherfucker, you've already lost her.'" "Truth." We fist bumped. "After that I went into your apartment and I watched through the peephole. He stood there for about five minutes with his head hanging then he went back into his apartment...and he bellowed your name and then I heard crashing and slamming, like he was destroying the place."

*******************************************

Since I'd blown it with Elizabeth, the last six months of my life had been shit. That moment of self-destruction had just snowballed into the hellhole my life was now. My game was suffering, my life off the ice was spent burying the pain in booze and fights. I'd give anything to take that moment back, to rewind, to not throw away the one person who mattered to me, who got me. She'd been my peace, the woman who settled my soul and made me want to be a better man and I'd treated her like that. Her words replayed on an endless loop. "Don't, Rig, please." But I'd done it. I'd kissed the puck bunny, right in front of Elizabeth. To prove a point. And what point had I ended up proving? That I was the biggest prick to ever walk the face of the earth. The second my lips had touched the nameless blonde's, it was as if I'd been struck by a skillet to the face. Except my moment of realization had come after I'd bent my head to kiss the girl. There was no kissing if it wasn't Elizabeth. There was no one but Elizabeth. I felt nothing for this girl, no desire, no attraction, nothing. In the two seconds I'd had my lips on the blonde's, Elizabeth had taken off.

*******************************************

"Are you sorry?" His voice jolted me back to the present. "Not at all. You and I may have been the world's biggest mistake, but she's not. She's going to grow up knowing how much I love her and how much I wanted her." "We weren't a mistake," he glared at me. For a second I thought he was serious, but then I burst out laughing when I realized he had to be joking. "You're right. We weren't really anything. But it gave me this baby, so that's the one positive thing that happened between us." "Us, Elizabeth. It gave us this baby."

*******************************************

"She's sucking her thumb," the technician grinned at us. Our daughter. Our daughter. Our daughter. The refrain played on an endless loop in my head, and I stared in awe as the technician moved the wand to a different place showing her little legs pulled up and her tiny feet crossed. This tiny miracle was curled up inside Elizabeth. She was carrying a new life. Our daughter. "She's amazing." My voice was rough, husky with the realization that I was looking at my daughter for the very first time. Elizabeth beamed proudly – and squeezed my hand before she remembered and released it quickly. At that moment, I wanted to get on my knees and beg her forgiveness. To thank her for not ending the pregnancy and for loving our daughter and keeping her safe. And for doing it all on her own up to this point. Ask her to marry me.

*******************************************

"Just remember to keep her calm and as happy as possible when you're around. And seriously, if you upset her with a random skank, I'll kill you." I hesitated at the door, jiggling my gym bag. "Willow, there've been no other women since I met Elizabeth." She rolled her eyes at me. "Oh, so Elizabeth just imagined you kissing that blonde?" "That was the only time, and it never went beyond a two-second kiss. And I regret that like you wouldn't believe." "That was one too many! And you've also missed the important part about keeping the skanks off of you. That always hurt her and you refused to stop that behavior. Telling her it was part of your job and you had to be nice – what a crock. You can be polite to fans without letting them get handsy. You didn't have to kiss their cheeks or put your arms around them or let them run their hands all over you." "I know. I treated her terribly and I can never make that up to her. It's something I have to live with for the rest of my life."

*******************************************

Instead of getting mad, he bent over me, putting his hands on either side of my head. "I get it. I do. I deserve every jab you take at me, every bit of anger you throw at me. I'll take that as my due because I know I hurt you horribly and treated you like shit." His voice was low and rumbly, but it dropped even lower. "I'm so sorry for every single way I wronged you and I'll regret my actions as long as I live. But at some point, Elizabeth," he was so close our lips were barely separated, "at some point, I'm going to make you see that I've changed and I'm going to earn your forgiveness. I'm going to marry you, Elizabeth, and we're going to be a family and I'm going to enjoy giving you all of those babies you want."

*******************************************

"Not going out tonight?" she asked, a slight edge to her voice. "No," I said, making my voice soft, hoping to soothe away that spark of anger she just displayed. "One, I don't need to be around alcohol, and two, I have no desire to be in bars." "Quite the change." "It needed to happen. I want to be the very best husband and father I can be." "Rig –" "I don't care how long it takes, Elizabeth. We will be getting married, and we'll have lots of babies so you can be the mom you always wanted to be and have the family you always dreamed of having." "Rig." Her voice was softer as if she wanted to believe me but was scared to trust the man who had hurt her so badly.

*******************************************

"Rig, I don't understand." "It's simple, Elizabeth. You being worried is not acceptable to me. The fact that you think I could slip back to my old ways means my changes haven't been enough to convince you, so that means I have to work harder, do more, be better. And I realized that because I was such a fucking dick when we first met, living the hockey star life, taking you for granted, being a cocky asshole who was stupid enough to kiss another woman in front of you -- that you were always going to be suspicious of me being a hockey player and the female fans because I made you feel that way for so long. So the simple solution to help you stop worrying is to give up hockey."

*******************************************

"The only thing that's not right, Elizabeth, is you thinking I'd ever let another woman ruin what I'm trying to build with you. I want you in my life, today and for the next sixty or seventy years. I'm serious about marrying you, keeping you pregnant with all those babies you want and raising a bunch of nuggets together. That's what I want, more than hockey. One I can live without, one I can't." Rig leaned down and kissed me on the lips, his mouth conveying every word he had just said to me. Then he leaned back and gave a gentle tug to one of my curls. "So I choose you, Elizabeth, and I will choose you day after day. It's no contest. Making you happy, making you feel secure in my love for you is my number one goal and I'll do whatever it takes."

Elizabeth was my fave of the foster girls. Her snark was hysterical, and I loved that she continued to be petty through most of the story. I don't always feel like a woman should continue to be petty after the guys keeps trying to make amends. Like at some point, you need to decide if you're willing to move forward or be done, but after what Rig did to her, she had every right to continue being petty. Glad I read Willow's story before this one because I wouldn't have read it otherwise. Not sure I've hated any character as much as I've hated her, and she wasn't even the other woman or the female lead in this story. She didn't have to agree with Bet's decision, but it was Bet's decision not hers. Willow didn't apologize, and even said she knew Bet was mad but "sorry not sorry". She laughed off the situation and kept insisting everything would work out and that she thought this was the best option. She kept telling Rig he needed to act right because it's not about him, yet she constantly made it about her. Because she never knew her father that automatically means everyone should be forced to know their father, no matter if they're alcoholics or abusive?! Rig started drinking too much and was always getting into fights on and off the ice after Bet disappeared. And before she left, he insisted that he had to keep his fans happy which included sleeping with a different puck bunny or bunnies every night, allowing them to rubs his abs, kiss him and he also got to kiss them. Yes, totally the guy I want my child to have as a father. Never mind Bet's past with an abusive foster father wasn't taken into consideration at all. I'm sure she could attest to having no father was better than a shitty one. Willow's lucky Bet forgave her cuz I would hold that grudge forever, and she would have been cut out of my life completely. Honestly, after reading what Willow did, I don't think what happened to her in her own story was enough. I think she deserved far worse, and it made her look like a total hypocrite.

Unplanned pregnancy trope. If there was no baby, tell me you actually think the H would give a damn. I mean he saw her at the hospital pregnant and decided he wanted to marry her. Dude 6 months ago you couldn't make it clearer that you both were "just sex".
And seriously why tf does every h wants to keep the baby?? "I just knew i wanted to keep it" Lines like these make me cringe so bad. Like girl you also thought you knew the baby daddy would never hurt you but here we are. Fucking hater Willow. People need to start minding their fucking business.

Save yourself. Don't read this series.
All the Foster Girls are really pathetic and easy to gained back.

Dude kissing other girl in front of her and said "when other girl kiss me it doesnt matter, but when i kiss them then its my choice". HAHAHAHAHAA AND HE DOESNT NEED MUCH GROVEL. not to mentioned the birch Willow betraying her by telling where she was to this asshole breaking all the trusts. GOD. Foster Girls are the shittiest series among all groveltohea books so dont bother

The third enjoyable instalment of the foster girls, and I liked this because we’ve moved away from the MC Background although all 4 sisters are mentioned in the story. I like this because being the tech nerd Elizabeth is, she has no idea who “Rigs”is to begin with and that’s refreshing. The whole storyline is different as Rigs falls apart when Elizabeth disappears but there is a happy ending I think this is the best one yet but I still have Willow To go.

I like Groveltohea but sometimes the sl*t shaming can get real immature and pathetic. I’m all for reading about a woman feeling wronged by puck bunnies especially when they make fun of her. But when you’re hearing sl*t, sl*g and sk*nk in every other paragraph it becomes very cringy. Generally my only complaint about the writing everything else is amazing.

[Debbie DiFiore · Rating 4 out of 5]

Hero made me so mad at the beginning. But he made up for it somewhat. He didn't cheat while they were apart. I loved the scenes where she got medication and flipped out in a funny way. Funetti is a perfect name for a baby. Lol Funfetti Fluffernoodle. That was great. And he really reformed too. I liked that.

Rig is definitely the worst hero in this series. He kissed another woman (who was a total stranger btw) in front of Bet after Bet pleaded “Please Rig don’t” just to prove a fucking useless point. I can’t find myself to forgive him (even if I’m not Bet) and he was just ew bye

Thoughts after 2nd reading - I think this is my second favorite in this series. Rig totally sabotaged himself with Elizabeth, and he knew when he did it that it was not what he should have done. I loved that she didn't give in too easily when they finally reconnected even though she loved him.
