Meghan has always been the feistiest out of all her friends, and is quite happy livcing life by herself as an independent woman. Until she meets Sebastian LeBlanc, the goalie of the Minnesota Sleet hockey team. There is an immediate sexual connection between the two but Meghan is fcusing on her friends getting their happy ever after to worry too much about hers, and when her friend gets hurt while she's distracted by Sebastian, she can't forgive herself.
This was fun and a bit more daring and out there in some ways than the other books as we are dealing with characters who both a little bit extra than other romantic couplings we have followed in this series. There is a definite chemistry between Meghan and Sebastian that is so palpable, it practically drips of the page and I didn't mind the nickname Banshee as it definitely suits Meghan a lot (I just don't think I'll ever be over how overused Kitten was in Sleet Kitten).
As in other books, this is fun and enjoyable for a quick read with a hot romance but the writing/editing in it isn't always the greatest. I do often find some parts are overwritten, characters over explain themselves or just talk too much at times in a way I feel identifies a self-published novel from a traditionally published one but once you know to expect some of these things, you can ignore them and focus on the story. I would have completely scrapped Meghan's diary entries as they feel they gave nothing to the story and could have just been usual POV chapters.
I did find the first act break up in this book a bit much and over dramatic from Meghan and there are times when there is miscommunication among several of the characters that could be easily solved. I also feel the 'don't want a relationship' is sometimes an easy thing to use in a romance as a blocker and I just never believed this from Sebastian as every single action of his contradicted his words so I would have liked to have seen a better obstacle in the way between these two and really, there wasn't really anything there - they were just being stubborn.
Looking forward to the final book in this series!

This book's writing and editing is a lot tighter than the previous in the series. Meghan is amazing and Ash is a great character too. They were sooo spicy together and I wish we had some kinkier scenes with them. I feel like SJ Tilly threatens kink a lot (spanking, them liking a bit of pain, sex toys etc.) And then doesn't really deliver. It was awesome to see their relationship come together and to have some more lovely family involvement lol.
I love the friendship between the girls but I wish Steph hadn't been totally waysided this book!

It’s not a bad book or series I just don’t think I liked it as much as I could’ve especially compared to other hockey romances
