Honestly it was good plot for the most part and I liked it. It was worth the read and I think I will be looking to get the book in a physical copy. I just liked that she put herself first and set the boundary like books with boundaries like that make me happy.

I loved this book so much. It made me sad when Ethan and Lilah weren’t together. Then when he came back, it changed everything for them. I did like however that Ethan gave space to Lilah when they broke up because it got to open his eyes that he is a good hockey player with or without Lilah and it gave them some time away from eachother to be apart and focus on themselves. The ending was great when they finally got back together because Lilah couldn’t be without him.
The shock when I read that Lilah and Carmen have a half sister. I did like that the three of them spent time together and got to know eachother and spoke with their dad.
Overall I loved the romance, their connection, the love they have for eachother…either for the wrong or right reasons. They were eachothers good luck charm

This was actually my vacay book back in July when I went to Rome, but I had ample time to read and try to get into this book. I couldn't, I hated the characters and I just couldn't relate to them. They were very 2 dimensional. It could have been a "me" thing and not a "book" thing but like, it wasn't working for me at all.

Usually I would never forgive a guy who leaves the “love of his life”, especially one who ends the relationship over the phone, but Ethan might have won me over.
Parental intervention and reverse psychology sometimes causes unintended consequences.
Nevertheless, how many millions is it worth to be in a LDR?

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4 stars.
I love me some hockey romances. Actually who am I kidding I just love sports romances. After reading the Shacked up series I was wanting to read Pucked which was okay for me, but I loved this book!
It was the perfect mix of sweet and dirty.

One of the things I’m finding I enjoy the most about Helena’s writing is how she incorporates characters from her previous books. Definitely my favorite Author for angsty, swoon worthy, comical, passion filled, true love romances!!! Helena if we ever met in real life we’d be BFF’s!! Seriously, if you need any potential story ideas I met my husband through Match and moved from OK to Chicago when I was 35. (which was 7 yrs ago)

I wasn't intending to read this book, but my library had a copy available and I was looking for some light fluff.
Well, that's definitely what I got.
I was intrigued by the "going home" and "second chance romance" vibe of this story, and those bits were great.
This book is steamy and honestly a little bit of a trashy romance. The main characters are both just perfect sexual specimens and insanely hot and attracted to each other (of course). They're fit sexy people (cue eye roll) and they just can't keep themselves from each other because they're both just so hot. Ugh.
I mean, I love a good sexy romp, but this one seemed a bit cliché and over the top. There wasn't much else to this story other than 2 horny people just constantly going at it.
There is a subplot that's introduced as a bit of a twist near the end that was definitely interesting, but it's very quickly dealt with and feels like almost an after thought in relation to the rest of this book.
I hadn't read anything by this author before, but apparently she is really big in the hockey sex, puck bunny subgenre of romance novels, so I guess I should have done a bit more research before picking up this book.
I didn't dislike it, though I didn't find it all that memorable. It was a nice little sexy escape. Which I guess is all it needed to be. I just wish there was a little more weight to it.
It's probably a 2.5 star read for me, but I'll bump it up to a 3 because the steam-factor is through the roof!
