For starters, I didn't know what to expect from this book, but this book surprised me - in a good way!
This is a college romance in which Grace had moved to Dallard University to play on the women’s hockey team only to meet Sebastian, the men’s hockey captain. What ensues is a fierce rival turned enemies to lovers relationship that had me laughing, swooning, and cheering.
This book is cheesy, funny, angsty, riveting, interesting, romantic, etc and etc. I found myself unable to put it down. I was so invested into the storyline. It’s written in dual POV and was easy to read and follow along. The story got better and better as it went along.
The characters were wonderfully thought out and plotted. They had their faults and nuances which is understandable-they both had trauma and stuff to work through and unpack. It was very realistic in it’s nature.
I found the enemies to acquaintances to lovers trope wonderful. Seeing them develop these feelings and fight it, was satisfying, especially once they stopped fighting and gave in to their feelings.
The angst was angsty…the steam was steamy (very well written steam), and the enemies to lovers was enemies-to-lovering in the best of ways that made me not want to quit reading.
This book is also very funny. I was hollering laughing at several parts. Kudos to the author on the humor front.
All in all, if you like hockey romance, I think you’d like this one. It’s got a little bit of everything to satisfy all tastes I think.
I’d love to see another book in this series…maybe with some of the other characters in the book.
