This was an enjoyable read but it was honestly just like any other hockey romance I have read. It wasn’t disappointing cause I didn’t expect much going into this book. However I do have a few things that I would like to comment on:
First of all, personally, I feel like the third act break up was stupid and a bit dramatic. I mean I get it, he picked you up two hours late, but he literally told you why and it was reasonable
AND JAX also proved her a million times that he wasn’t like her father

I'm really enjoying the work of this author. This is my 3rd book from her and everytime I'm amazed and I can't put the book down. This book brought me giddiness, laughter, butterflies, tears and everything in between. I cannot wait to read the rest of this series and more. Jax was absolutely incredible, he did no wrong. The way he cared for her and constantly put her before everything else is the bare minimum. All characters are really well written and I can't wait for Mia's book. Sidney was a great MMC. I get why she was scared to open up but I think she did hold herself back too much from him but she was really smart and funny.

it was so cute, i liked how Jac was obsessed with her and how their relationship was built. i didn’t like Sidney’s behavior tho, always running and trying to end their relationship bc she was scared; i get it but if she explained that her trust issues came from her father, an NHL coach Jax could have handled things better and prevented them from breaking up.
otherwise it was good even tho i’m in a slump

So I had to think about what I wanted to say about this book. I had feelings. I got all moody like I knew these people. But I don’t. Because they’re not real. But oh the way I wish they were. Jax and Sidney made me use my cold, dead heart. This is a book I’d read again.

We were two trains heading toward each other until their inevitable crash. Unable to stop, no matter how hard they break, the impact leaving the wreckage of us.
I am entirely and passionately captivated by Jax. He was nothing like I expected but everything I didn’t know I needed! He wasn’t the usual cocky, player that most college pro-sport mcs are. Instead, he had his own identity, his struggles, and dreams and along with his teasing smiles and confidence, he won over both Sidney (fmc) and me!
This was a slow burn of a doomed, intense attraction between two mcs with big dreams, that were not in the space of mind to sacrifice or compromise their dream lives for each other. Was I frustrated at times with both of them? Yes. But their struggles were genuine, justifiable obstacles that could occur when the right people meet at the wrong time. The low-angst played a big part in the plot as did their chemistry. This couple had a very tender push-and-pull and along with their playful banter, their relationship impossible to resist.
Jax was what you could call a golden retriever mmc with a slight possessive trait. He adjusted his needs, his life for Sid, and bravely put his heart out there. If Jax wasn’t that specific, glorious way, I am pretty confident their relationship would’ve failed.
Sidney, had me struggling a bit. I had that tense need to shake her. However, I admire her hard work, her devotion and her royalty. Sid’s past had left a big stain on her present. Gradually but beautifully, the intensity of her scars and insecurities is revealed. In retrospect, Sid planned her future and reacted to the world around her and to Jax in the most genuine for her way, even if it led to self-sabotageand wreckage.
It was a cute story of two lovely characters attempting to live their lives and feel for each other, sprinkled with a generous amount of soft-angst. I would love to read the story of Mia, Alex, and River. These three had me in a chokehold -especially River- and we only got crumbs, so fingers crossed for their book.
