Jamie Sullivan does not date hockey players. As the PT for the Bringham Bobcats, he knows they're loud, cocky, and more trouble than they’re worth. Not to mention painful reminders of the career ripped from his grasp a decade ago—a past he’s desperate to leave behind. All he needs to do is finish his business course and open his own practice to be free of hockey forever. It’s all going according to plan, until a dirty-mouthed young hotshot who won't take no for an answer waltzes into his office, and Jamie’s forced to reconsider whether he’s ready to give up on the game.
They call him a rising star, so why does Archie Bowman still feel like a rookie? Maybe it’s the number of times he’s been traded in his short career. Maybe it’s the homesickness for the family, biscuits, and rugby he left behind in Britain. Or maybe it’s how, despite everyone else buying his cocky act, he still isn’t sure he belongs in the big leagues.
When an old shoulder injury resurfaces a few weeks before the season starts, Bowie's dream is at stake, and Jamie is just the doc to help him get it back. That is, if their blossoming relationship doesn't cloud their judgment ...

Very cute and lighthearted MM hockey x physical therapist romance. Silly and cute.
Bowie and his English phrases were fun, and Jamie's serious perfectionist antics were a total opposite.
They complimented each other well and gave the other a balance. Bowie has no filter; and maybe a bit over the top. Jamie is maybe a little too serious but necessary because he's trying to be professional in the workplace.
If you suspend disbelief that a relationship between team doctor and his player-patient is appropriate or would be allowed to happen, it was a funny, cute story. Bowie's over-the-top sexual advances and jokes felt a bit too immature after a while. I thought the book would address the age gap / forbidden romance aspect a bit more. Some of the scenarios they were in felt a little too out there to be really believable (a multi-hour tour of a trolley museum? Weird). Character development fell a bit flat, too. But it was a quick hockey romance for times you want to turn off your brain and have a little fun. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series. Also, the cover is cute.
