3.5. It was a good story but some parts were lacking in this crazy tale.
medium-paced

This was fine, but Bowen is capable of writing with more depth than this.

Wow! I love, love, love, love, love this book! It’s a perfectly written romance that has all of the elements necessary for a feel-good love story. A rough around the edges but gooey in the middle hot guy… check. A beautiful and vulnerable woman with a bit of a spitfire personality… check. A great theme… check. An intimate situation that sends their bodies in to a confused frenzy… check! Ramped up sexual tension… double check!! Throw it all together, and in the end, it’s perfection.

The story of Patrick and Ari is wonderful. It’s exciting, sweet, and the two of them have tremendous chemistry. I can always count on Sarina Bowen to concoct yet another wonderful romance that’s impossible to put down!

***I read and reviewed a paperback copy of the book in exchange for an honest review. All conclusions reached are my own***

Kay so this is my favorite book in the series, yet. I loved them but I totally identified with Ari the most and for goodness sake, O'Doul will make any girl's heart skip a few beats.

If you're looking for your next hockey romance with a he-falls-first hero and a little crime thrill/drama - look no further. Pick this one up next!
