romanceschmomance's review against another edition
3.75
Overall, I did enjoy this one, but didn't quite hit as much as Rachel's previous reads. I loved the intro to a new couple and the dynamics were so different. And they really had to work some of their differences out. We really get to see them growing through all of it, individually and as a couple. I took some time for them to see them as a couple, but as you get further into the book, it's wholesome and sweet. Can't wait to see what else is to come from Rachel.

Re-read, first time listening to the audiobook. Loved it as much as the first time. Audiobook is good.

What a fun hockey romance! This is the first book I’ve ever read in the hockey romance sub-genre, and this is truly everything I’ve always wanted to read regarding my two loves: queer romance and hockey! I think that Rachel Reid blends the lives of hockey players both on and off the ice so well that it didn’t feel like either parts of the plot were being neglected. What I mean by this is that I’ve been scared to pick up a hockey romance because I thought it would leave out the hockey aspect to have the romance shine through, but this was the perfect blend of both! I honestly didn’t think I would like Casey, but I realized how much of a loving person he really is and not just an eccentric himbo. Landon was the character I related to the most because he has a fear of intimacy and is battling with a lot of self-esteem issues, and who doesn’t relate to that in some ways? Both men help one another see their full potential and that they can be loved for who they are, and if that’s not the best concept for a romance then I don’t know what else could be better! Reid knows puck and she also knows how to write about gay love, and I have to commend her wholeheartedly by thanking her from the tallest building for writing this beautiful story!
