The love story was sweet and the author did a good job to showing, rather than telling, us the friendship and relationship was evolving in the first half. The second half of the book was too long. It leaned too hard into miscommunication and female insecurity tropes. Also really heavy on the lengthy speeches and internal monologue.

i figured out what makes this so long is the fact that there's one spice chapter for every three chapters LOL but with that much quantity, it's not repetitive and well always... interesting. i know we're reading this book for the romance and definitely not to know more about hockey as a sport soo not complaining !!! the only ick i have is how they have a name for everything, i'm not even gonna talk about it. it's realy funny though—i laughed A LOT, hot, and yet still so angsty. i love jenniegarrett and their friendship with each other + with the others <3

So much spice, it’s getting old. I only wanted to see how the characters from the first book developed.

God where do I start? First I thought I would enjoy this book bc of the good reviews on this app but boy where they wrong. I almost dnef this book bc of the cringey charachters/conversations. 60% in the book I was like okay this is not that bad, but still. I didn't had a problem with the FL nor the ML (only that the personalities switched up midbook what confused me) i have a problem with the side charachters. I would like to throw Carter from this planet. He just a child, like act you age ! Loved the plot, only cared for princess bubblegum but the story on how she got lost it was just boring. Like give me drama :) This book could be 200 pages shorter in my opinion bc there was a lot of repetition ....

This series is the first one that represents healthy communication for me. Usually I have to resist shouting 'just tell him you feel that way!' to romance books. Whereas here, they do just that and work through it. It's refreshing. The banter is awesome! The teasing, the 'touch her and die' and the 'you'll be safe with me' (both ways!) made me smile throughout the entire book. Loved it and can't wait to read the next one in this series!

”A love above the rest. That’s what a soul mate is. Someone with smooth edges to soften our sharp ones. Someone who fits us so perfectly, vibrates on the same frequency, makes all our best paths shine. And together? Together, everything is exactly the way it’s meant to be.”  

What I really liked about this book was the fact that Garrett ”Gare-Bear” Andersen helped Jennifer ”Jennie” Beckett work on realizing her worth, but that at the end of the day is was Jennie herself that had the realization, if wasn’t that Garrett convinced her of that, but that she realized that he was telling the truth. She did what she wanted, and went for it. I loved Garrett’s character - he’s so unlike the typical hockey player we read in books. Garrett is gentle (not in the bedroom though), and he’s shy and rambles around Jennie because he finds her beautiful and intimidating!

Tropes:
  • Hockey romance
  • Best friend’s sister
  • Friends to Lovers
  • Friends with benefits
