Great start to a series!
I loved this book in so many ways! The characters brought life to the gorgeous settings Savannah wrote. I look forward to continuing with this series as it is published.

Older brother's best friend and a hockey story is a good combo for me.

The pages of this books flew by so easily and effortlessly! It was actually among the most enjoyable reads I have had! I loved this book right from the very start, I loved the heroes, the way the events unfolded and the way they were narrated and explained. Everything was so smoothly described that I found myself unable to put the book down!

It all starts when Leila, a young girl, who is quite more innocent than what she might originally seem to be, approaches Henrik, her four-year crush, hoping for an one night of no strings attached, right after her painful break up with her boyfriend. The womanizer Henrik cannot decline this offer, being aware of the deep attraction he feels for his best friend's little sister! But, what starts at this night as a harmless one night stand, will soon evolve to be something more for both parts!
Henrik soon starts to realize that he wants to spend more time with Leila, even if that means no sex for them, and a strictly friendly relationship. I just loved the way he tried to prove to her how honest he is and how he feels about their arrangement. Both characters reacted very realistically, with Leila at first being doubtful a relationship like that could work between them, considering his previous womanizing habits. After a while, she becomes thoughtful, but more open to the concept of spending more time with him. The whole process of the evolving of their relationship was so realistic and truthful, it made me connect with both characters and realize the way they felt in more depth!
I loved Leila's strong personality and the way she endured her condition, considering the fact she knew all along that she suffered from it and needed to take medication, but at the same time, she didn't want anyone to know about it and quite possibly pity her!
Henrik was a very nice character, and all this effort to convince both Leila, and her brother and his best-friend, Austin, that he is not willing to hurt her feelings, just made him all the more adorable in my eyes! And, I also loved the way he accepted his brother and didn't mind his keeping his sexual orientation a secret from him for so long!
All in all, 5 stars for one of the most enjoyable and adorable stories!
