I really enjoyed this sports romance and it was a great follow-on book to Sleet Kitten with Jackson and Katelyn being side characters in this one. There are a few spicy scenes in this story but I don't think it was overdone, and the chemistry and connection between Izzy and Zach was really believable and they were easy to root for. I also preferred the nickname of 'Sugar' to 'Kitten' (in Book One) as the latter had given me the ick a bit but I liked how Zach used 'Sugar' with Izzy.
The lack of over the top complications and drama in this story was actually really nice, and I enjoyed that were wasn't a forced or silly 'third act break up' like in many romances. Izzy's initial reservations about dating Zach are very easy to understand from having to see him all the time if it didn't work out, and of course, her dad essentially being his boss and how that could make things difficult. Not to mentions she's had bad experiences with hockey players in the past.
Zach's maturity and emotional depth actually pleasantly surprised me in this one as well. I was really ready to read how Zach's relationship issues with his parents and his hard childhood meant he would never be good enough for Izzy and he could never fall in love as this is the exact formula I've seen with similar male leads in other books but no, Zach was all in for Izzy and ready to love her and I loved it.
This was so easy and enjoyable, and while parts of it were slightly over written at times (I don't think Izzy needed to explain everything in so much detail all the time to her friends, it wasn't a realistic way of talking), I didn't mind it too much. Looking forward to reading Sleet Banshee and see what's in store for Meghan!

I kind of love the chase and that he was always into her! Izzy is the cutest character too.
