I went into this book basically blind and like by 10 minutes in I'm:
[looks at the Matthew Tkachuk hugging David Rittich embroidery I
 am working on while listening to this] [looks at audiobook] [looks at reference picture] Hm.

It's great though! This is not a complaint. It should come as no surprise that within those same ten minutes I was ready to die for Casey.

An excellent introduction to Rachel Reid. Time to Shine was an excellent romance, with a solid undercurrent of learning how to be who you want to be. The characters were lovable and the plot was enjoyable, even for this non-hockey fan. I think I might have learned a thing or two about the sport. 

I liked how a character was depicted as being on the asexual spectrum, since that is rare representation in romance novels. 

Thank you to Carina Adores and NetGalley for the free eARC.
