I know nothing about hockey, but you know what? It became my favorite sport. In the world. I say this as someone who was born and lives in Italy—the land that thrives on good food, art and soccer/football—and it’s all because of this book. Well, actually this entire series. By the time I’m writing this, I already finished the second book so…
This was the perfect Meet Cute romance. Katelyn attends an important party for her cousin’s political career at a private home, where she spots her horrible ex. She finds somewhere to hide, and runs into the very handsome owner of the house, who’s also been hiding from the very important people upstairs. A boring night turns into the best as they make conversation. The next day Jackson sends her tickets to a game and a jersey with his name on it, and Katelyn realizes he’s the captain of the local hockey team. And the fun begins.
Despite he’s a celebrity to all hockey fans, Jackson is a down-to-earth guy with a heart of gold. Add that to the fact he’s insanely hot, it makes him irresistible. And he’s the perfect match for Katelyn, who is sweet and smart. Their banter and chemistry was perfect from their first interaction, and every interaction since were fun, sweet, sexy, or emotional. It’s impossible not to root for them to be together.
I also loved the girl squad in this group. Katelyn has an amazing longtime best friend, Meghan, but they grow close to two other awesome ladies: Steph, Jackson’s sister, and Izzy, the Coach’s daughter. They were friendship goals! And coincidentally, Izzy is the protagonist of the book 2, while Meghan stars in book 3. Here’s me hoping that we also get book 4 with Steph.
I binged this in three days. It would have been two if life hadn’t been its wonderful self. It’s that good. And fun! If you’re looking for a cute romcom to read and take your mind off things, please give this series a try! You won’t regret it.
Thank you to the author for sending me a copy. Opinions are all my own.

S.J. Tilly has quickly become one of my favorite romance authors with the first installment in her Sleet series. It was my first experience with a sport romance, but it certainly won’t be my last because I’ve grown an odd appreciation for athletes thanks to this book! SLEET KITTEN follows Katelyn, a young copy-editor, and Jackson, a famous hockey player. Their meet-cute happens during a party organized by Katelyn’s cousin in Jackson’s fancy penthouse. During this dinner, Katelyn sees her horrible ex boyfriend with his new flame, and instead of risking confrontation, she seeks refuge in the basement…where she finds Jackson, even though she has no idea that he’s a famous athlete. The two are starstruck by this encounter, and they immediately fall into a comfortable banter that would have Taylor Swift writing a ballad in her bedroom. Jackson is able to get Katelyn’s contact info from her cousin, and the next day he has a package delivered to her with tickets to his next game and a jersey with his name on it. To find out what comes next, you’ll have to read the book!
Sleet Kitten has everything I look for in a rom-com: the hilarity that makes you cry while you read, the banter that keeps you flipping through the pages without end, and a romance that made me swoon at every turn. I absolutely adored Jackson and Katelyn—both as individuals and as a couple. Jackson was the perfect balance between sweet romantic and hot alpha personality. Katelyn, on the other hand, was super relatable: sweet, but sassy, with a love of books and a heart of gold. Their romance is a bit of a fast-burn, but I didn’t mind at all! It made sense, their chemistry was fire, the build-up to sexy times was a slow torture, and I was giving my soul to the Book Gods to have them be together. Special appreciation also goes to the secondary characters! I loved Jackson’s mom with all my heart, but I especially adored Katelyn’s girl squad, which is composed of Katelyn’s best friend, Meghan, Jackson’s sister, Steph, and the Coach’s daughter, Izzy. There’s nothing I love more than a group of women who support other women, and this group was simply fantastic. Book 2 will be Izzy’s story, and I can’t wait to dive right into it!
Super recommended to lovers of rom-coms and sports romances!

So Sweet!
This book was adorable and so funny. I loved the chaos of Katelyn and Jackson. Almost every moment left me laughing or with a goofy grin.
This was such a cute read.
Spice wasn’t very intense or often but it was good.

no cause you know what would have made this book 300x better? a 300% decrease in the use of the word "Kitten". it was unbearable. occurred like 6 times a page. i get that i am not the intended audience for this book but like?? ugh. 2.5 stars.
HUGE thank you to this incredible author for gifting me a copy of each book in this amazing series in exchange for an honest review! All besotted thoughts expressed below are admittedly my own.
Oh.My.GOD. I am fully and completely, head-over-heels in love with this author and the Sleet series!! Once I started, I COULD NOT STOP, Y'ALL. Like, reading under the covers on school nights obsessed!!
What's the farthest thing from a hockey fan? It's me, I am. But it literally does not matter because this book is EVERYTHING. I think I'm on my way to becoming a certified hockey fan now, it's cool. Katelyn and Jackson's love story presented a beautiful connection devoid of any toxicity, but still somehow included the hardcore alpha male love interest as a central trope and it was absolutely perfect.
I think what I appreciated most about this installment was the flawless pacing of this slowburn romance. This is what kept me burning page after page with reckless abandon. There's tons of buildup to the smut, which I sincerely loved, and ultimately adored the picture perfect happily ever after for these two that left my heart totally soaked in bliss.
The side characters Izzy, Meghan, and Steph made me SO damn happy and left me pumped to read the sequels! Romance fans, TRUST ME--this is the best possible series for you to dive into this Valentine's season, or literally ANY time of year--you need these characters in your life ASAP!

Great book, awesome plot!
Love the meet cute, like the banter between the characters. The side characters make me want more stories! A bit of angst at the end, but resolves for a great HEA.
My only complaint not enough sexy time!
