like both Kip and Scott as characters and together but their relationship moved too quick. So many things happened and they haven't even been dating for that long. 

Could have been rated higher for me if the story didn't move too fast. I wish we got to see the characters yearning for each other or chasing each other. Everything felt rushed.

A very heartfelt story. The art style and writing was beautifully done. I love the disability rep that in manga. I can't wait to read more from this author. My old complain is that one of the character looks a little too young in contrast to the other character.

This book was such an enjoyable read, it hooked me right from the start! I loved that it was set during the Winter Olympics and that the author included a good amount of on ice scenes. The two main characters were super different but both really likable, which made their dynamic fun to read.

That said, here's why I ended up giving it 3.5 stars instead of something higher, even though I did enjoy it.
First, the relationship felt a little rushed. There wasn't enough time for their connection to grow naturally to the level we saw by the end. I think if the author had added a small time skip showing them together after the Olympics for longer it would've made the ending feel more believable.

And then there's Connor's dad, like come on. No GM has that much power in the NHL, even if they're a former player.

Overall, I still really liked the book! If you're into rivals to lovers, don't mind a bit of insta chemistry, and just want a fun read without thinking too hard about the details, you'll probably enjoy this one too.

I'm definitely planning to read the next book by this author! 

Thanks to Storm Publishing for providing me with this ARC at Netgalley.

Honestly this book had me going through a lot of emotions. At one point I was getting annoyed with both Travis and Jacob (mostly Jacob) and the storyline itself. This might have been a me thing but I found the storyline to be weak, for a romance novel I wanted to see why two characters to be together longer. When I reached the 90% marked I felt like the HEA that was going to happen shouldn't have happened because in my opinion it wasn't earned by Jacob and the storyline itself felt rushed towards the end.


Thank you to the publisher for giving this arc via Netgalley. All opinions are my own.

It was okay, nothing special. The epilogue should have just focused on Travis and Jacob through their point of view not someone else. They could have just done a different chapter to introduce the next couple. One thing I give them is that the next couple seems like they going to be interesting.
