I loved this so much. It's so adorable, all of the characters are such cuties, and I wasn't bored for a second. I was laughing so much at this.

This was just ok for me. Nothing seriously problematic although the writing felt like YA at times but they were in their 30s. I love YA but it is a different experience to adult.

It felt like 65% sex and 25% hockey and 10% friendship. The friendships were my favourite part 🤣 it go to a point that I was bored of them having sex tbh and wanted more plot

It had its cute moments but they seemed to get together very quickly and it was a bit unrealistic how lovey they were.

genuinely this was such a silly goofy fun time, i was giggling and kicking my feet and laughing out loud throughout it all. the chemistry and banter between Emmy and Maverick was off the charts i loved it. They both have such big hearts and just want to be seen, to be loved and to have a home. I thought they’re chemistry was organic and believable and ahhhh i just loved them. the side characters i also loved, so many of the teammates were making me laugh and the little girl group they had was so cute. 

*NO THIRD ACT BREAKUP!!! WE LOVE TO SEE IT!!!!*

some of my fav quotes

“I have a past, but I have a future now too, and that future is with you.” 

“For so long, I’ve felt like I was alone. Chasing after something I couldn’t quite reach and running until everything in me ached. When I’m in Maverick’s arms, I think I’ve finally put my feet on the ground. I think I’ve found someone who might help heal that loneliness that’s followed me for years.”

“To find someone who wants to keep me—not Maverick Miller the hockey player, but Maverick Miller, the fuckup kid without a family who tells jokes so no one knows he sometimes feels dead inside.”

Nice easy story. I did like that there was no third act breakup but I do wish there was more conflict, it did feel like it dragged on.

I loved this book so much. I can’t decide if I’m more excited to read Hudson’s book or Liam’s book next.

It’s been a while since I’ve stayed up all hours of the night to finish a book, but this book? Good lord I could not put it down. I have said it multiple times and I’ll continue to say it: I freaking adore Chelsea and every single one of her books. I swear each time I read one, I add another book boyfriend to the top of my list. If she writes it, I’m going to buy it no questions asked. 

I knew when I first met Maverick Miller in Behind the Camera he was going to ruin me and ruin me he did. This man. THIS. MAN. I just have no words because he is everything and more. And Emmy?! Gosh darn it, she is fiesty and takes no sh*t and I freaking love her. Put the two of them together and 😮‍💨. Their chemistry is off the charts and their banter is top notch. I was uncontrollably giddy, kicking my feet and squealing throughout reading this and I’m glad I read this in the confines of my home because I could not control it. 

I cannot wait to see what else Chelsea has in store for us with the D.C. Stars and I will be (im)patiently waiting for the next book 💙
