If this book is an indicator of the author’s works to come, I’m excited to see them! The second chance dynamic set up from the first scene had the tension perfectly building throughout the whole thing. Though I wish we had some more indicators of what these characters had in common, I do see the charm in the grumpy/sunshine dynamic for Nash and Violet as a balance. The author handled the more emotional scenes of this book with great care and attention, really helping us understand the pain and healing of these characters. Overall, maybe my favorite work of her’s so far. Keeping an eye out for her upcoming expected 2024 releases!
My only request would have been for even more spice in the spicy scenes! After building up so much storytelling around their kinky sex, and as a kinky person, the scenes were still pretty tame after waiting so long to see them. Their chemistry was sooooo good though so not any major complaints, really!

🌶️🌶️
College hockey romance
Second chance, forced proximity, daddy issues, copy-and-paste
He was her first love/lover and they talked more about them being adventurous/rough in bed than any of the spicy scenes had

I liked it. Although, one of the downfalls of being a book lover is reading all these different books and loving some of them and hating others but finding those books that just kind of stay in the middle of the pack and you compare them to similar books in that genre and they don't live up to it. This was one of those books. I enjoyed it, but there was a lot of toxicity and I feel like the ending was so lackluster. The end of the book was his debut into the big leagues and it was just eh.

The premise of this book was amazing. Second chance college hockey romance? Sold. Except there wasn't a lot of push back from the FMC to getting back with her ex. They glossed over what broke them up in the first place and I just felt like it definitely needed more depth.

I'm normally not a big second chance romance reader because there are usually a lot of flashbacks. Thank goodness this one didn't have any since there were only two years between them breaking up and getting back together. I loved Nash and Violet's romance. I felt a true connection between them. They had their issues, especially moving on from the past, but they worked hard on them together. Sometimes Nash drove me nuts with his avoidance of stuff, but he was trying. Their relationship was really passionate, too. Although, I could have done without the "petal" nickname because it made me want to gag. And I wasn't bothered by what both Nash and Violet did when they weren't together, but it will rub some people wrong. They weren't saints. That made their romance feel more real to me, though. Overall, a great start to the series. 

Note: I was disappointed to find out I couldn't binge the rest of the books, as they seem to be unavailable anywhere. :(
