I loved this. It's nice to meet a hockey romance hero who's not all about sleeping with random girls every chance. Wesley seems like a regular guy who happens to be a professional athlete. He's focused and dedicated and seems just... normal. Josey is a type A, nerdy girls girl who loves books and is trying to get her first professional post grad degree job.

I liked both these characters. The author sold me on their romance and chemistry. It was the perfect balance between steamy and romantic. I even choked up a little when we learned about Josie's relationship with her aunt Greta.

Will certainly be revisiting more work from this author!
