Cute romance novel about music-y girl and a hockey boy. Deals with some real world issues (trigger warning: sexual assault and physical / emotional abuse) but mainly sticks to the lighter stuff. Also has some spicy scenes.

3.25 stars. my first official foray into hockey romance and that honestly wasn't too bad. pretty great spice and very tropey, which works for me because i am absolutely a trope lover as long as it doesnt affect the quality of writing, and even though this was nowhere near a masterpiece, i'll look back on it fondly and i understand all the hype that i used to see about it. maybe i will tune in to that tv show at some point.

I really loved this book and this couple! This is my first time reading Elle Kennedy’s work and it certainly won’t be my last. The banter was so fun and sexy. I’m excited to read the rest of the series and learn more about the background characters of the book.

really enjoyed this book. garrett is perfect (audiobook actor garrett sounds perfect too). hannah is complex but relatable. no complaints. spicy scenes weren’t very graphic and there wasn’t a lot of them. what is there is lovely though 2.5/5. 

lots of talk about rape so be prepared for that.

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!

GARRETT YOU ARE ON MY TOP BOOK BOYFRIENDS LIST!

The spice is something else, the push and pull for the both of them is so good. 

He is such a flirt 😌
Always throwing sexual tension when he can, and my girl can't fight it anymore!


MMC 
Garrett in the first pages are such a normal hockey player type in books that kinda plays a lot but focuses on his sports. The way question himself around our girl is so funny 😭 like he's hot for her but can't do shit 😭


FMC
Our hot genius girl ❤️. Her backstory is really sad and i hope that ahole can just disappear on earth 😬. Parehas lang sila ni Garrett na nag aangingan 😭 like anoba gusto nyo naman isat isa bat ayaw nyo nalang ituloy!

5/5
