Very easy-going read and I genuinely enjoyed myself the entire time <3
It is much hornier than expected in parts but I shouldn‘t be surprised by this trend

Ok this one was really stinking cute!! A team PT and a professional hockey player start fake dating…but they have been friends since high school 🥰 MMC was such a golden retriever and FMC was so supportive/encouraging of his growth. Dealt with some body dysmorphia/unhealthy food relationships (FMC’s mom), harsh results-focused father (MMC’s dad), and even a second chance romance. No third act break up. Spice was spicing 👌🏻🔥🥵

“Keep being  safe place for her to land…everyone’s journey moves at a different pace”
“I always want you to know you’re loved”

This was the second of this interconnected hockey romance series and I was SO excited for it to come out and it DELIVERED.

I'm not the biggest hockey romance girl, but I am a big fan of Stephanie Archer.

What I love about her characters is that they feel super real and genuine. Believable conflict, and no third act breakups

This is much more what I was hoping for when I read the first book in this series. I liked this book so much more, and even though there were a few things that still bothered me, I was swept away by my enjoyment so I didn't care nearly as much. I really enjoyed the antagonistic relationship between Rory and Hazel and the love and support they build with each other. While I don't usually care for "loved them since forever" tropes, this one didn't have that person placed on a pedestal to be worshiped, they challenge each other and earn their way into each others hearts.
