Such a cute story. Easy to follow and read. The banter was great and the spice was right on point. Love the character development/growth. I truly enjoyed it and it's a great addition to this new series!
I cannot tell you how much I adored Bleacher Report!

tysm to chasingbooks pr for this earc!!
I loved this book so much, it was so fun to return to the Hawkeyes! Hunter was so cute to Peyton and I loved their relationship. The build up to them actually getting together was so cute and even though they didn't become a real couple until more than halfway through the book, it actually felt like they had a solid relationship that could survive past the end of the book.

I devoured this book in one sitting. Anything Kenna King writes has me utterly captivated. I read Match Penalty and absolutely adored it.
Once I discovered the possibility of reading the second book, I rushed to sign up as quickly as possible.
Hunter, the hockey bad boy (which I loved), was a complete sweetheart when it came to Peyton.
Peyton, oh my goodness, I adore her. I loved how she stood her ground with Hunter. The banter between them was so entertaining that I couldnāt get enough. They had me laughing and tossing and turning at night.
I cannot wait for the third book.
This was an incredibly enjoyable and quick read.
I am incredibly grateful to Kenna King and Chasing Books PR for providing me with the opportunity to receive an ARC.

I had no idea what to expect from this one going into it. Hunter has the reputation of Hockeyās bad boy, but honestly I donāt see how anyone who knows him could possibly believe that. He was honestly such a sweet little cinnamon roll hiding behind that cocky veneer.
The way Peyton absolutely laid into Hunter in that first bar scene really just set the tone for her. Like yeah she is a pretty girl & a sports reporter, but she will not take crap from anyoneā¦even if she really needs to get them to do an interview to save her job.
Watching their friendship & relationship unfold was truly amazing. I almost hate that Iāve finished this one because I wish I could go back and experience for the first time again. This series so far has done such an amazing job of showing that itās not enough to just choose someone as your person onceā¦you have to keep choosing them & showing up for them everyday!
Iām so grateful to Chasing Books PR and Kenna King for giving me the chance to read an ARC copy of this book. I cannot wait for the rest of this series!
