I really loved Sera and Tyler together. The struggles they both work through are so realistic and I felt like they had a genuine connection. I loved this story and really really really loved that there wasn’t a 3rd act major conflict (won’t call it a break up since they weren’t official)

this was cute! your typical best friends brother romance flic mixed with hockey, super sexy, main characters have a past together but don’t know at the start of the book.

This book had me screaming, I love the tension and banter so much. Tyler and Sera meet at a Halloween party, and assume they will never see each other again. They never exchange numbers or names, so when Sera has to move into her brothers apartment imagine her surprise when Hades from Halloween lives there too.

I absolutely devoured this book, and cannot wait for the next one.

tyler and seraphina(sera/ser). they first met on halloween and hooked up, but they didn't know who each other was. she is chase's, tyler's best friend and roommate, sister, who is coming to live with them after their mom got diagnosed with cancer. she recognized him from his tattoo and he could tell it was her. they plan on keeping halloween as a one time thing, and a secret, but they couldn't stay away from each other. they end up sneaking around because they both didn't want a relationship. chase finds out at the bar when tyler beats up rob, someone from sera's past. tyler pulled away because he thought he couldn't handle hockey and her, but it messed with his head through hockey anyways. sera finds out she has the cancer gene and breaks down. tyler found her and then told her he loved her. they started dating...

Cute, quick read


The cancer talk hit a little close to home with recent personal events and made this more emotional tho so don’t mind me crying with what should’ve been a fluffy hockey book
