ashleykat7's review

I had to DNF this book. It’s supposedly a spicy hockey romance book. It’s basically straight up p0rn with very little hockey. I didn’t realize it was about a poly relationship between a girl & 2 guys. And the sex scenes are very graphic and it gets very cringy very fast. Not for me. I’m all for smutty books but this was way too much. And the main character, Rachael is annoying.

This book is effortlessly sexy and sweeps you up into the characters world. I don’t think I knew 100% what I was getting into when I started this book, but I loved it! A perfect mix of spice and relationship building between the characters.

This book was freaking amazing!! Honestly I loved it, it was something new and exciting!! It’s basically all smut, but the plot is still there! It was definitely very educational (if you know what I mean) and even if you maybe get scared because it’s kind of big 😉 it is definitely worth reading!!! It might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but I think you should still give it a try, cause you’ll probably love it!!🔥🥵♥️

I would say this book is like 80% sex and 20% hockey. Some chapters its just sex after sex after sex, and as someone who loves a bit of smut, it was a little too much at times. It felt like they had sex sometimes just to have sex and it didn't really add much to the plot.

Poor Caleb, man. He kept getting the short end of the stick. 

Rachel cries too easily. The zodiac stuff was annoying.

I think Jake was left out of some sex scenes for no reason...like Mars and Caleb definitely got more action than him—but Jake arguably had more of a connection to Rachel.

Anyway, it was a fun and cute read. The first 20 or so chapters made me want to pull my hair out with how emotional Rachel was...and how she kept calling Caleb "daddy"...and the stuttering. But it got better.

Caleb is revealed to be queer at the beginning of the book, but it doesn't come into play until around 50% of the way in. Definitely thought the author made him gay just to have a gay character and be "inclusive", but I'm glad it actually went somewhere and was useful to the plot.

VERY sex positive.
