I wasn't sure I was going to like Harper. When you first meet her she's a little harsh and brittle but Meader makes sure that you understand that most of it is a front. She's under a lot of stress, with a lot of insecurities from her youth, and being thrown into the same orbit as her half-sisters and the man that she can't have isn't helping. Before too long I found myself with all sorts of feels for the poor woman. But you can't feel too bad for her once Remy turns his attention her way!
The youngest with a whole passel of sisters and nieces, Remy was guaranteed to be perfect hero material ... even if he is surrounded by testosterone as a hockey player :) He's patient and understanding, but also with a streak of charming bad boy in him. He's the perfect balance of Alpha and sensitive. He's good for Harper, supportive & caring, and he keeps her life from overtaking her.
My only trouble was with the ending because it's just hard when Harper has been so adamant about how she is perceived. But you knew it was going to work out some way and I'm pretty sure that this is the only way it would have been satisfying.
Definitely an engrossing read and I'm so intrigued by the other sisters & where there stories are going. Meader did an amazing job of giving this group of people complexity and depth. You can't help but want to get to know all of their secrets!

I love a good sports romance--especially hockey though I've never actually watched the sport. This was my first book by Meader, and I really enjoyed it. I wasn't sure at first, with the "half sisters who don't know each other but have to do something dictated in a Will" trope (not always my favorite) that spelled angst from the start. And the forbidden nature of the relationship between Remy and Harper.
But the banter was great. Remy was sexy as all hell; there's just something about a Cajun southern gentleman. Their chemistry was off the charts, and Meader did a great job showing that. Yes, I wanted to shake Harper sometimes for keeping Remy at arms length. But the slow burn of the romance really worked.
I liked the cast of side characters and I'm looking forward to reading more of the series.

This book was a great start to a new series. Harper and her two sisters have control of their recently deceased father's hockey team. Harper recently acquired Remy in a trade hoping to give the team, who has been floundering, a chance at winning the cup. Of course, sparks fly and Harper tries not to fall for Remy, who is charming and hot. I really loved this story and look forward to reading the rest of the books in this series. A 4 star read.

adored how the MCs relationship developed throughout the book! just enough "bubog" to give depth to the plot.

I found the characters and plot to be poorly developed and annoying. I kept hoping I might start to like or care about either of the MCs, especially because I saw a lot of positive reviews from readers I follow, but it never happened. At the 65% mark, I finally gave up.
