One of the better hockey romances that I’ve read on KU. The story was funny and heart melting. There was some good tension between Jax and Sidney. I loved the banter and the way Jax treated Sid (like she deserved). I wish the reason for the third act was brought up sooner BUT the end was adorable and had me swooning!!

I adored this book and I wish I could experience the love between Jax and Sidney for the very first time. Although romance books often try to give the impression of real life choices that their characters have to face, I feel like Jessa did a fanatics job showing us the choices that Jax and Sidney made for themselves and for each other.
Young adults in college have dreams and they want to achieve them! So many college sports romance books suffer the "I bet they broke up after the book ended". But these two? Never. They're the real deal. They love each other, but they love themselves. They're striving for their dreams and they don't want the other one to resent them for letting go of a dream.
Please read this book for the romance and the spice and the love between Jax and Sidney. But please also look at two determined college students who work every day for their success.
"Whether it's a lifetime or a moment, not a second of what's between us could ever be a mistake. Love is moment to moment. It's not dependent on how much longer you're together, and I fucking love you. It's going to hurt like hell, but it'll have been worth it"
