I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I do feel it should have been marketed as a dark hockey romance versus just hockey that I had a bit more idea what I was  getting myself into. 

That said the FMC was easy to connect to and start rooting for from the beginning. All I wanted was to see this girl win.

The MMC was a bit of a surprise like I said earlier I did not expect this to be dark romance. However, I enjoyed that he was instantly hooked and obsessed.

TW: SA

This is a dark “romance” where the MMC happens to play hockey. There’s no tags or CWs anywhere in sight and it’s very poorly written. There’s a whole host of issues with the book itself but also this author behaves badly. Reporting low reviews and bashing bad reviews. Towards the end of the book she tells in no during a sexual encounter and he continues on. It is not CNC it’s straight up rape. Just because it’s not explicitly physically violent doesn’t make it something else.

Even knowing the CWs for this book, I wasn't totally prepared for *how* dark it got. Stalkers are not my jam, the hockey itself was mediocre, the romance had nothing for me. The author did give the FMC (who was *barely 18*) some personal agency, and there was recognition that she didn't totally feel great falling in love with a hockey player who basically held her captive...so it gets 2⭐️ and not 1⭐️. But oof this book was NOT for me.

CWs are all listed at the beginning of the book and are very helpful!
