If you’re looking for a quick steamy romance with a cinnamon roll MMC, marriage of convenience and he falls first tropes, then you might like this novella. 
 
I like how supportive and patient Sumner (MMC) is towards Britta (FMC) who had trust issue with family and relationship. 
Although, I admire Britta for having a close relationship with her half-brother, Bryce. It was a difficult decision especially remembering her situations and she handled it really well.  
 
While I do like the sweet and supportive romance in here, I’m not entirely sure with the steamy scenes. It feels a little bit weird, especially the dialogue between the main characters during that part... 
 
The problem with novella is that it’s usually too short and I was always craving for more out of the book, the same happen with this one. 
I kinda wish the length is slightly longer to give room for the story and the characters to developed. 
Moreover, I kinda wish the hockey part was shown a little bit more in this novella – I would like to know more about that. 
 
Nevertheless at the end of it, I feel happy they got the ending they deserved with Britta finally ready to step out of her comfort zone and Sumner finally got his dream. 
 
I received an advanced review copy for free through Netgalley, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. Huge thank you to the author and publisher!

I wish the book was longer but overall it was adorable. These characters were very lovable and their story was sweet. P.S. don’t read the extended epilogue. It ruined the novela for me…
