Oh. My. God! This was so good, I’m almost in tears over it. The angst, the love, the building a solid relationship foundation. Just. All of it was so, so good. 😭❤️

I loved that this book didn’t hold back on anything. We got to see both Alex and Eli’s struggles with health issues and their mental health. I loved that we got to see them face all of those hurdles and not let themselves be broken by them. And the amount of character growth was just amazing! I loved seeing the support that Alex received from his team and the team’s (hilarious) retaliation for all the homophobic comments that were thrown their way on the ice.

This was genuinely such a great read and it’s getting a solid five stars! And now I’m gonna go scream into the void about this series.

They’re such a cute and healthy couple.

Their communication as a couple throughout both books *chefs kiss* and the way they grow and learn together *swoon*

Definitely would read again and I can’t wait for future books in this series.

Hello E.L Massey just cannot write a bad book? I have so many thoughts on this one but I cant write them all down because I can’t write eloquently. This is one of my favorite reads of the year, it was so cute and romantic and also so gut wrenching. A very important read for me  and I’m so glad I could read this <3 there’s something so lovely about seeing yourself in a book ALSO TEAM AS FAMILY?! CRYING. SOBBING ON THE FLOOR. THEY WAY THEY CARE SM ABOUT EACH OTHER!! GOODBYE….

Read For:
Idiots in Love
Domestic Fluff
Hockey Romance
Mental Health Rep
Wholesome Friendships

This book was absolutely amazing.  The characters, the relationships, the humor, the mental health rep, it all was SO good.

Eli and Alex are such absolute idiots for one another and I am here for it.  I really liked seeing their bond grow.  Their characters and overall relationship was written so well, there were flaws and it wasn’t always perfect but they had great communication and worked so well together.

I’m still laughing at how extra Alex was when it came to Eli, just proving to be a total lovesick idiot for him.  Like going and buying so, so, so many bananas only to realize too late that he needed plantains instead.

Hawk and Bells are so cute as well.  I loved how all the Hell Hounds’ just wanted to pet Hawk, and as soon as her vest was off they gave her all the attention.

The Hell Hounds’ are all so loveable.  Kuzy and his WhatsApp group chat… that “isn’t” a cover for the Russian hockey mafia.  Jeff who reminds me of the team's mom, who is so tired but always there even if there will be sarcastic comments made.  Rads having so many wholesome dad moments.  And how they all were so supportive of their teammates.  Ugh, I love them all so much.  Though, Jessica definitely needs a raise at this point.

This is hands down one of my favorite comfort series.
