The beginning of this book really bummed me out. It felt lazy, it didn't build background like I was hoping, and the character development left a lot to be desired. I had a hard time caring about Bryce, and a hard time believing Hunter's feelings for Bryce. Around the 68% mark, once they were properly together, the relationship felt more real and sturdy, and it makes me think that the author just wanted to rush through the building phase and get to the good stuff, which I can understand, but it leaves me feel the book was lacking. Excellent writing where the hockey elements came in, though. I felt like I was watching a real game, and the excitement and tension were very intense during the games! Overall, I liked this book, just wished it had taken the time to give us the peeks into the characters at the beginning that we needed.
