This is a dark “romance” where the MMC happens to play hockey. There’s no tags or CWs anywhere in sight and it’s very poorly written. There’s a whole host of issues with the book itself but also this author behaves badly. Reporting low reviews and bashing bad reviews. Towards the end of the book she tells in no during a sexual encounter and he continues on. It is not CNC it’s straight up rape. Just because it’s not explicitly physically violent doesn’t make it something else.

- Ice hockey
- Obsessed hero with psychotic tendencies
- If I can't have you, nobody can
- Wrong number/mistaken identity
- Virgin heroine
- OTT & protective hero
I saw this allover BookTok and I always get nervous about reading its recs because I worry that they won't live up to the hype. Rest assured, this definitely did!
I can sometimes struggle to get through ice hockey romances because they can be really long or slow paced, but this was literally everything I needed and more. I did it in one sitting, and now I'm annoyed that book 2 isn't available yet. Roll on book 2!

TRIGGER WARNING.
Maybe this is too harsh, but I just feel I need to say it: I feel like the way it was written could really fuck with someone who is processing their own sexual assault. Because it’s all like “I tried not to enjoy it, but my body betrayed me”. But the facts are you can not want something and have your body still be aroused. It’s biological and something that happens more often than we realize. Which then makes survivors of assault feel like their claim of rape is invalid. Leads to internalized slut shaming and so on.
