This book has been on my TBR forever and I’m so glad I finally read it. It was everything I wanted it to be and more
I was a little hesitant when the prologue jumped right into the spice (I need a much slower burn) but was thrilled to see how it backtracked and everything played out. All the longing and pining (even though their physical relationship isn’t slow to begin, it still has everything I look for in a slow burn romance). Fellow slow burn lovers, if you’re reading this and wondering whether this book will work for you, I’m betting it will!
Otherwise I really have no notes. This was such a captivating story and I can’t wait to jump right into the Long Game (I’m afraid I’ll be skipping the rest of the series for now because I just can’t wait!)

This book is the king of hockey romances for a reason.
. I love a book written by a 🇨🇦 author which is set in 🇨🇦, especially in Montreal and a bit in Toronto.
. A proper ennemies to lovers for years, with enough time to build their relationship and makes it believable for their feelings to grow through 7 years.
. A gradual acceptance of themselves as gay/bi which feels realistic in a sport still very much homophobic.
. No outing as an easy twist. 🏳️🌈🎉
. No third act breakup.
. A HFN very satisfying and perfect, but I won't complain to have an extra book for them to get their HEA. Thanks Rachel Reid. 💖
. A loooooooooot of 🔥🔥🔥 s3x.
I've read it, while in Toronto in september 2022 and finished it back in Montreal, made the experience
even more special.

Re-read it in dec. 2022-jan. 2023, and as amazing & hot as the first time. 💖

The first time I've read the ebook version, while in Toronto in september 2022 and finished it back in Montreal, made the experience even more special.
Then I've re-read it in dec 2022-january 2023, and last year for the third time by discovering the paperback (with the bonus chapter). It was as good, if not even better, annoting and adding fan-arts inside my book, making the re-reading experience even better.
So for this 4th rereading, I enjoyed listening to the audiobook while rediscovering all the fan-arts/annotations inside my paperback. 😍 Now on my way to read The Long Game for the very first time for a bookclub.
