The only good remark I'm going to have is that I'm happy that a main character I'd featured with a disability in this book. Corey is a paraplegic and it was refreshing to know that there was representation in this romance novel. HOWEVER, it was just... not good. So cringey and not well written and frankly, quite boring. Not to mention that the main character cheats on his girlfriend, and the main female character knows this and goes along with it. Also, toward the end, there is a comment about another hockey team being "sissy men" that was just so uncalled for and unnecessary.

Amy Jo Cousins recommended this author and the book was free via Kindle promotion, and thus I read it. I found the repeated references to the "hope fairy" (or whatever it was) really annoying and this was yet another M/F romance where the M is experienced and the F is not at all.
Aside from that, I found that both characters were dealing with new disabilities (one temporary, one permanent) interesting and not often a topic explored. And I couldn't put it down, so that's saying something.

Didn’t like some of the words they used for people with disability.
For some reason I did not think I would enjoy this story as much as I did, but I had great fun reading this story and plan on devouring the rest in the series probably quicker then is good for my plans to get anything else done.

Okay, so I was going through goodreads to find books that fit with this month's Diversity Challenge, physical disability, and this one popped out on a couple lists. After checking it out I realized I already owned the ebook, and the audio version was only a couple dollars more... so I got that as well. This is who I am as a person. Oh, and Lenore from Celebrity Readers also recommended it to me to read this month, so that sealed my choice.
It's been a while since I've read a new adult romance. I don't know why I keep forgetting how much I love these things. The drama is so high, which is great! I needed that more than I realized.

Wow, did not expect to enjoy this one so much! Loved the characters, romance, and friendships :)
So sweet. Perfect book to read in an afternoon. I really felt able to connect with Corey after her accident, and I love how the characters developed a real friendship before they had a relationship.
