This book took a whole lotta tropes and just threw them against the page to see what stuck. We have brother’s best friend, fake dating, childhood crush, and on and on it goes. Though this story was cute, I didn’t get some of the drama. It seemed like there were almost too many details but some different exactly connect. Like the scandalous pictures that caused such backlash for Ian he was forced to transfer to another hockey team for 6 years. They sounded pretty tame considering some of the jokes and spice through the book. Also, why had Ian not interacted with players on other teams for those 6 years even though they were all actively playing? 

Overall, the romance was sweet. The spice was spicin’. But the drama was hole-y.
