I love the 'next generation' concept of the book. Although I do wish i read 'the deal' to get a backstory of all the characters. I think if I read the deal I'd have liked it even more.

Gigi and Ryder's relationship was very healthy and mature which i was glad to see.

I hope Will and Beck get a book (maybe where they end up together). 

I also can't wait for the next book (which i surmise is about Diana and Shane!)

However, i think the guy Gigi kissed before getting with Ryder (not naming who) was hot but a bit unnecessary.

I also think the book was a bit too long which was probably down to the fact they had to keep their relationship a secret from everyone- especially her ex- for such a long time. Gigi's people-pleasing kind of annoyed me in this way but that's one of her flaws she manages to overcome! 

Unpopular opinion - I hope that Case does not get his own book because the guy was a bit of a dick and I got quite irritated seeing Garrett give Case a hug despite knowing he cheated on his daughter.

This is my first hockey romance book, and I now see what all the hype is about. I love the characters so much, the author has really set herself up to be able to write a ton of books with this group. Even characters that were “the bad guys” in the beginning are able to show us they are good people. I just love all the bromance. GiGi and Ryder are just delicious together, I think enemies to lovers may be my favorite trope.
