I liked this book more than I expected to. The development of the romance was heartwarming and I liked the way Shane’s coming out was handled. My favorite parts were all the very subtle signs at the two main characters falling in love in the mid section. I also thought the character development was very consistently balanced and executed with both Shane and Ilya. That is hands down the biggest strength of this book. It felt like the book was very well written as a whole!
I found only a few cons with the book. First, I expected there to be more emphasis on hockey drama. I never felt excited with the brief descriptions of games. Pretty minor thing since that really wasn’t the point of the book, but I was a tad bit disappointed.
My other con can hardly be counted as a con, since I absolutely knew what I was getting myself into, but I didn’t like the smut very much. This was definitely a personal preference. It was too much for me and I thought it quickly became repetitive. But if you’re someone that actually prefers there to be smut in a book, you’ll probably like this.
I didn’t expect myself to be a fan but it was a good book!
