So sweet and precious and adorable and wonderful! I cried so much but all because of how much these two people loved each other. I just simply loved it!

There are no content warnings of any kind in the description or beginning of this book so I assumed (since it’s a hockey romance) that there wouldn’t be any triggers. You simply cannot make someone’s backstory be that they were in a school shooting without warning people about that.
(also i’m 10 chapters in and Nothing has happened)

Their time in Alaska was cute but the whole “lie for a lie” premise didn’t seem reasonable to me.

Also wasn’t a fan of the guy.

I definitely guessed the “twist,” or Lanie’s secret pretty early, but since it isn’t revealed til the middle of the book I won’t reveal it here. It’s not my favorite trope to read, and this book is very insta-lust, insta-love, but it was cute and a decent read.

I didn’t like the lack of female empowerment - Lanie gets a job as a marine biology researcher at a zoo, and everyone keeps calling her a tour guide. Why do we as a society feel the need to belittle smart women? She had three master’s degrees. She’s earned the acknowledgment of her own damn job title.
