Bal Khabra does it again in the 2nd book of the Off the Ice series.  This book was such a fun read and the banter and dirty jokes between our FMC and MMC are great - having you laughing out loud.   It’s a found family that comes from a fake relationship that is constantly keeping you turning the page.   And the slowest of slow burns with the most nerve wrecking tension that just drives you crazy but you can’t stop reading.   And when the tension finally gives - because it is so amazingly written - oh it is all totally worth it!!!!

I do feel like some of the challenges and problems that our character came across were poorly or rushed to be resolved or just brought up and forgotten - so I felt that the plot aspect of the story lacked some.  

Overall though it was still a fun read and I definitely enjoyed it.  I will continue to read Ms Khabra’s books and hope her stories with our Dalton Boys isn’t done yet!!!! 4⭐️

Very cute, and with good spicy scenes as well. Nothing too intense on either end, but just the pick me up I needed this week.

Elias is a rookie NHL player struggling in his first season. Sage and Elias fake date to help each other careers. Elias !!! The man that you are!!! The sage tattoo 🥹and taking care of her when no one else has put her first before. Cute book but characters POV fell flat at times.
