I didn’t love offside but wanted to give this one a chance! It’s a brother’s teammate and friends with benefits romance set in college. I might be nudging out of the NA romances but I just didn’t feel like much happened. Seraphina (chase’s sister from book 1) moves in with the hockey guys while her mom battles breast cancer. She is also dealing with the potential of having th BRCA 1 gene.

Tyler is a goalie that is destined for the NHL and doesn’t have time for relationships. He recognizes Sera (Tink) from when they hooked up at a party where things were kept anonymous. They start to become friends, then friends with benefits to more.

I just didn’t feel like much happened. Sera had a bad friend and this friend’s brother kept hitting on her. She had to deal with school, her mom, and her own health.

I don’t know if my opinion will change with time, but the writing was good and the author made this one shorter than offside (thankfully).

3.5 stars.
I enjoyed the first in the series much more. I’m not really sure why because I usually love roommates/brothers friend romances. But something about this one just didn’t grasp me as much as the first. It was still a great story and I love how it all ended.

Sometimes I read so many bad books I ended up desperate for a good read and try books I wouldn’t read normally.
This time it was a sports romance.
Insta love is normal for this type of read? I don’t know, but I got confused when I started this book because it reads like a pt 2 of a fanfic when I missed the first one. Or when a one shot turns into a long fic but you didn’t read the one shot so you have no idea why the characters are so in love and obsessed with each other from the beginning.
I enjoyed but it felt too much frequently (a bit like when it’s a fantasy and they are only capable of wanting each other and no one else but without any explanation as of to why and we’re like 13% in the book)
In conclusion: so yeah maybe sports romance are not for me.
