I really enjoyed reading The Puck Drop , it shows a different side of hockey than you usually read in romance books.

super fun quick read! i love hockey romances, and this fit that bill <3 especially loved how it was so much more about the romance, the focus on the fmc and her struggles with her family felt so relatable in certain ways

Great start to the series. We met Michael in the Moo U World, and this is his story. I love the dynamic of the story as it introduces a whole new Hockey U Team. The characters are great and the story is wonderful.

Jacqueline Snowe pens wonderful sports romances as she delves into the dynamics of the game with her conflicted and endearing characters.
Michael Reiner loves hockey and his internship with Coach Simpson is a dream come true. His days of playing hockey are done which makes it hard to sit on the sidelines, but his fellow intern and data analyst, Naomi Fletcher-Simpson makes for great company. The problem is she is Coach Simpson's daughter so they need to stay just friends. Tell that to the hot chemistry between them.
Naomi chose to do her data internship with her estranged father in order to get to know him, but he's just as removed from her life as always. Hockey tore their family apart and her mother has a new family, her twin sister is off serial dating and ignoring her, and she's left alone dealing with her own life once again. However, Michael is a great friend and confidant who listens without judging and gives her great advice. Too bad he wants to be a hockey coach like her dad. She doesn't want to be the second choice to hockey anymore.
I love Naomi and Michael as a couple. They are very comfortable with each other cracking jokes and confiding their innermost thoughts and feelings. Their attraction is strong right from the beginning and no doubt they will become more than friends, but their issues with abandonment and heartache are hard to forget. Neither of them want to love someone and lose them again. Michael lost his parents in a car accident four years ago and Naomi was left alone after her parent's divorce. With Michael's undying support, it was good to see Naomi finally step up and confront her sister and her father. I also loved Michael's mature and kind approach to coaching as he bonds with one of the troubled players and helps him out of his slump. There is no doubt Michael will be an excellent coach and he is such a good guy. One of my favorite characters actually. Naomi is a sweet and kind person in her own right. Having to be called the less pretty twin could really do a number on someone. Don't worry. There is a HEA ending that had this reader tearing up.
Naomi's sister, Cami, definitely has some serious issues going on with her wild serial dating and bad choices. I think Naomi is who grounds her and they are finding their way back to each other. I can definitely relate to Naomi's dad because my own father was a lot like him. His guilt made him afraid of saying something wrong that might push Naomi even further away, but to Naomi, it looked like he didn't love her. Her confrontation with him was a tear-jerker.
I highly recommend this beautiful and funny sports romance filled with charming and strong characters and forbidden love. Read my review of Ms. Snowe's Best Player for more great sports romance.
Thank you to Ms. Snowe for giving me the opportunity to read this book with no expectation of a positive review.
