This is the least strong book in the series in my opinion. Don’t get me wrong though I still enjoyed reading this book. I just found the antagonism between Stevie and Greer to be annoying, I felt her reaction didn’t match what he did. As their friendship grew and their relationship evolved I enjoyed their dynamic more. It was fun seeing how Greer who thought he was anti-love and anti-kids, fall in love with Stevie and her daughter Macie. After binging this entire series I can’t believe I have to wait a few months for the next one!

I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought i would. I mean, it was ok, but just not for me. For me the plot was too fast. It has some potential, but i didn't like the characters.

Between his father's six baby mamas and his mother's three ex-husbands, professional hockey player Jacob Greer's parents managed to turn him off relationships entirely. His mother recently announced that she's getting married for the fourth time and Greer worries that she's destined for yet another heartbreak. The more immediate problem, however, is her insistence that he bring a date to the wedding. Not wanting to lead anyone on by thinking that he's offering a shot at a real relationship, he decides to take a more businesslike approach, offering single mom Stevie Thomas private hockey lessons for her daughter, 10-year-old Macie, in exchange for accompanying him to the wedding. Who cares if he doesn't really like kids? It's just a temporary arrangement, and everyone wins. Besides, Stevie would never date someone like Greer for real - or would she?
After the hints that were dropped in Stevie's sister Scout's book, I was really hoping Stevie would end up with Greer. Their story was worth the wait! I adored their intense chemistry and witty banter as well as the sweet relationship that developed between Greer and Macie. He may have thought he wasn't good with kids, but he was certainly good with her, and his increasing comfort level seemed to carry over into his interactions with other kids, too. When they were out to dinner and he gave the little boy his hat, I wanted to swoon!
Overall, I loved this funny, sweet story and highly recommend it for all fans of contemporary/sports romance and romantic comedy. I look forward to the next book in the series.
