Thank you to Maren Moore and Valentine PR for an eARC copy of this book. Fake-dating, good girl/bad boy, enemies to lovers romance about a hockey player and an ice skater. I really enjoyed Saint and Lennon as characters, I thought they had great development alone and in their relationship with one another. Also no 3rd act breakup!!!
I have only one small complaint. While I love a nickname for a character, this one was so overused to the point that I started counting pages WITHOUT the nickname used, lol. But other than that a very fun spicy, but also sweet read!!

MMC Saint is a grumpy, arrogant bad boy college hockey star who doesn’t want a relationship. FMC Lennon is a former competitive figure skater trying to find herself and break free from her family’s expectations. Both Saint and Lennon book private practice time at the skating rink but due to a mix-up they have to share the ice. These two cannot stand to breathe the same air, but their chemistry and banter is on fire. Lenon eventually proposes a fake dating arrangement, telling Saint if he helps her and attends a couple of events with her to get back at her dad, he can have the rink time next semester. Little does she know, Saint has it out for her dad and wants revenge for what Lennon’s dad did to his family so he’s all in, even if it means Lennon will be collateral damage. But of course, as they spend time together their relationship deepens and Saint helps Lennon through a panic attack, and he stands up to her father and her terrible ex. Saint is really a broken person due to his own father’s abuse. He doesn’t let anyone get near him and never lets anyone see him vulnerable. These two MC’s took care of each other and their relationship was well written and the story evolved at a natural pace.
