SWOON okay the author described this as idiots-to-lovers and I FUCKING LOVE THAT
2.5. cute, but the premise is paper thin bc of how the author handles it 10% in. not satisfying lol
⭐️⭐️⭐️.5/5 Stars. Rounding up.
This is the story of two idiots in love. Those aren’t my words but those of the author at the end of the book. I couldn’t agree more. Idiots to lovers. A trope I can support.
I’m going to start by saying that if you are going to enjoy this book, you have to suspend A LOT of disbelief. There are many things that are not realistic. I don’t want to get into them because some are spoilers. Some are more the world the book is set in. But you’ll need to be able to move past those. Or, at least, I did. There are also some poor communication issues. If these two ding dongs had simply used their words, almost all of their problems would have been solved.
And yet...
If these two idiots had communicated better, there wouldn’t be such a beautiful and pure love story. I found myself smitten with Dima and Rory and totally rooting for them. They made me swoon and sigh even as I rolled my eyes, yelling at them to get their acts together.
Friends to lovers is a favorite of mine. This one has that plus a fake relationship. Another trope that I go crazy for. The reason for the fake relationship is one of the things I had to get past.
This had pining and feels and it was an incredibly sexy, slow burn. I wouldn’t put it at the same level as some other hockey series I love. But I think it has potential and I won’t hesitate to read the next book. I’ll also be checking out some other books by this author as this is the first I read from them.
**This is not a book with shifters. I thought it was from the title alone and nearly skipped it.

I’m sucker for hurt comfort and memory tropes. Easy to read. Not totally accurate medical wise but meh still entertaining enough.

So good! A little angsty, but good! A great fake relationship, friends to lovers, mutual pining set up. Really hit on my favorite tropes. I love gay athlete stories. Rory and Dima are both well written and so are their teammates I was really rooting for them. Overall really enjoyed it! 4/5
