I may be biased when it comes to hockey romances now, but I absolutely loved this book!! Stassie & Nate are just the cutest! And they are a real power couple! I also loved all the side characters (besides Aaron obvs 😂) Lola, Robbie, Henry, JJ, just all of them! The support they show one another is incredible! I can’t wait for Russ & Henry’s stories, & I hope there’s more after that!

I found this so hard to rate because is it a good book? No. Did I enjoy it? Yeah, it was cute and fun! 
Not much of a real plot but also somehow lots of topics covered? SO many characters which I enjoyed but it’s also frustrating to know so much about them and have nothing happen to them!! 
Fluffy, kinda spicy, lighthearted, but not a serious hard hitter that would stay with me. Definitely a ‘brain break’ book!

The most fun thing about this book was ripping into it with my bestie after the fact. It's romantic and spicy and fun, but it was really too long for what it was. It took me so long to finish only because I couldn't be bothered.

A quick love story, nothing to be amazed about it, but everyone needs a little bit of a simple romance sometimes. No complex characters here.

I had such a hard time reading this book. I started reading it six months ago and was in the DNF stage for a while. Then I started it again and stopped after two days. To finally started reading it again a month ago and finished it.
I wouldn't particularly call it a bad read because it's not; it's just that I couldn't relate to the story and main characters whatsoever. But supporting characters were another story and the main reason why I continued reading the series. 

Anyway, overall I see the appeal and why it's so popular, and I do recommend it to readers who like fun and spice (good spice ;))...

If you’re like me and liked those Disney channel movies, this feels like a grownup version in a book. It’s funny, flirty, sexy, with surprisingly a lot of emotion depth (I was wrong to think it was just about sex and skating). Nate is a green flag and I was pleasantly surprised by how mature and well handled these character were about their relationship! I had a good, fun time and really recommend.
