The book is probably a little long for what it is. The plus of that is that you get a good amount of actual hockey time. This isn’t just a romance where one of the love interests happens to play hockey; you actually get the ins and outs of the games and what happens in each period which is what I live for.
There were elements of the story that I think we could have explored further, including Chase’s father and the way he processes
There were also several sub-plots that were fairly brief and therefore now feel unnecessary as they didn’t add a great deal to the plot or at least set us up for a sequel, e.g.
Another thing that, now that I’ve finished, feels like it was unnecessary if it wasn’t going to be explored more is
I’d also like to know that

It’s definitely a bit of a slow burn but it was wonderful to see relationship and character development as the book went on. Chase is truly everything book boyfriend dreams are made of.
There were two things that kept me from giving this book 5 stars and that was Chases excessive use of the word “hot” and the fact that the book was about 150-200 pages too long. There was a lot of unnecessary fluff throughout with classes and games that didn’t add to the story. Also I understand Chase is supposed to be a college guy but my goodness pick another way to describe Bailey other than “hot”.
All in all I really did enjoy this book and am excited for the next in the series.
