Good book. Standard hockey romance. 
Spicy 🌶️ spice 😉

I liked the discussions about therapy and normalization of that. 

Lola is my favourite character.

I picked this up from my friend as a joke but unfortunately, I kind of liked it. Mostly in part because the male love interest parallels my boyfriend in many ways and he’s perfect and hot and talented sooooo…. duh. But the plot was interesting enough and the tension throughout the enemies to lovers trope was enjoyed more than expected.
Be warned that this as close as a book can get to being p0rn basically lol. But ya know what… I wasn’t mad about it 🤷🏻‍♀️ 
The maturity of the writing was the hardest thing to see past. There were several times throughout the book where I was like “oh, I’m actually physically cringing”. There were also times where I said to myself, “I could’ve written this in a fanfic when I was 14.” So it’s kind of bad and juvenile but I stuck it out bc the main characters were hot sue me
Also the ending was catastrophically unsatisfying!!!

Stas just gets knocked up and basically her whole career is gone?! Be for real girly!!! Did she even want a baby?! Did Nate? It’s just annoying like WHY did they have to get pregnant why can’t they just be successful and chill out

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!
