I absolutely loved this book, I could not put it down. I needed to know what happened next. It was so well written that when you thought you’d figured it out at twist happened and you realised you hadn’t had a clue what really was going on. It was just so fun.

I reviewed this book to review on Netgalley, I requested this because the title and the blurb caught my eye. Hockey romances are always a good read, so I thought why not. I was expecting a silly romance with not a lot of heartbreak and I kind of got what I wished for.
I really enjoyed this as a light read, there isn't too much depth to it, everything is kind of right there in front of you spelt out. There were many cute moments, cheesy flirting, and chapters that just had you squealing in delight.
However, I do think the character's voices weren't very defined. There wasn't much thought put into them, they felt slightly flung together. There were moments where I felt like I was reading about a completely different character than I just spent the last one hundred pages getting to know. At times it felt like their voices were changed just to fit what the author wanted to happen in the plot. Things were resolved too quickly so the plot could be progressed. It meant most of the pages were filled with just cute romance moments, which I am not complaining about.
