I really enjoyed this touching and swoony romance! This is the second book in the new series from Sarina Bowen's World of True North. It is Kaitlyn and Lex's funny, and moving story about redemption, forgiveness, and finding true love. I was captivated by this story right from the start with it's rich characters, compelling storyline, fun banter, and sizzling passion! Kaitlyn is trying to find her way at the new college in Vermont where she just transferred. She lived a priveleged life, but after problems at her school in NY, her father, who is a retired famous NHL Hockey player has limited her income, forcing her to look for a job. She reluctantly takes over as the equipment manager for the hockey team. Being raised on hockey, she loved it, until she was used one too many times to get to her dad. She turned her back on the game years ago, but is finding her love of the game again. But she still doesn't want to date a hockey player, for fear they only want her for her connections. Lex is from Arizona and got a late start playing hockey. He lives and breathes the game now, always working to get better, never taking a day off. He feels like he's always playing catchup compared to his teammates and his equipment is old. When Kaitlyn helps him with his skates, he is intrigued by the standoffish woman. He tries to get to know her, but she doesn't make it easy. But Lex is not deterred by a challenge, he eventually wears her down, and she falls for his sweet, kind, and swoony charm. But Kaitlyn isn't confident that Lex or others like her for who she is. Especially after making some bad mistakes in the past. But Lex sees her for who she is now and is determined to make her see that, and that they are meant for each other. But when her father comes to town and meets Lex, can she trust that she wasn't played, again? I really loved Lex! He was so kind, honorable, and swoony. He really cared about his friends and teammates and was so sweet and protective with Kaitlyn. I loved Kaitlyn's growth from lost in the beginning to a strong, confident young woman. She and Lex were so perfect together. I also love all his teammates who were funny, supportive and loyal. This is a great addition to the Moo U series!
