Disappointed that this didn’t have the tension I need from romance. Felt overprocessed.

Been a little while since I indulged in an ice hockey romance and this was a fun read.
I liked that the dynamic between Julien and Isaac wasn’t stereotypical and a bit different, it worked well.
Overall though this book was soooo much longer than it needed to be whilst simultaneously rushing things. The speed at which they went from ‘shouldn’t date a team mate’ to boyfriends was about 24 hours and I’m not entirely sure what the rush was when the book was like 500 odd pages. A little more build up please

DNF 30%. Prose is good. A bit of an age gap and the older one is the sub are not really my thing. The way the rookie was introduced led me to believe he was the sub. So when the sec happened it felt jarring.

This book is long, far too long.
I liked some of it , it definitely had some good potential but it felt like these MCs were quickly drawn together into quite a serious relationship and then just pages and pages of no real substance.
Sadly I had to DNF because I was bored.
