This book was fine I guess? Just another basic romance revolving around hockey. I was surprised it ended when it did, like I just figured there'd be more to it but I guess it's a short book. But like, Colt has so much unresolved shit around his dad still??? He did so much to help Ash but the boy needs to heal too!

This book did the thing I hate where it's a mediocre book but did a good enough job teasing the next couple in the series that now I want to read the next one. 

🎧 I really liked both narrators, and they aren't names I'm familiar with already, so that's nice to have new ones to look for.

🌶️ 3.5/5 Open door, several sexy scenes, nothing groundbreaking.

I finished this book in 1-2 sittings. It was a little cheesy, but well written. The conversations and reflections of the characters felt authentic. I may have felt called out by some of the advice given lol. 

Fast pace and fast burning romance, with a dash of unrealistic. Although, college romances can move quickly.

There were around 3 shorter sex scenes. The majority of the spiciness was in the build up and desires expressed through dual pov.

Loved the mmc. Fmc was a little too exaggerated in her naivety, but the trust issues and core belief issues were handled well. 

Overall, very cute and definitely recommend for a healing romance read.
