Rory e Hazel são intensos!
Ele é uma estrela do hockey e muito charmoso e lindo, mas que está meio perdido na vida.
E ela é linda, mas muito mais do que apenas isso, muito mais do que as aparências mostram, uma mulher maravilhosa.
O Rory era meio apaixonado por ela desde sempre, mas a medida que eles vão se aproximando e se conhecendo como adultos, um sentimento indescritível começa a crescer entre eles. Amei ver as brigas e discussões do começo, mas amei mais ainda ver eles se ajudando, se apoiando e se tornando um casal de verdade.
Um romance clichê com final feliz pra deixar o coração quentinho!

Excellent hockey romance. Fake dating and sorta second chance.
Hazel was Rory’s tutor in HS. He has always had a thing for her. Fast forward a few years and she works for the hockey team he was traded to. He tries but fails to convince her to date him. Then comes her ex that broke her heart to the team. Commence fake “ish” dating. Definitely recommend!!

Hazel and Rory have known each other since high school, when she used to tutor him. Now he's the captain of the hockey team she works for as a physiotherapist. Hazel thinks he's too cocky for his own good and avoids him but that doesn't stop Rory from flirting with her and pushing all her buttons.
Her cheating ex also gets traded to their team and assigned to her. During their first session, he assumes that Hazel must still be hung on him and acts smug and condescending. Which leads to Hazel telling him that she's dating Rory – his biggest rival and the top scorer in pro hockey.
Rory is only too happy to oblige and be part of this scheme to help her get back at her ex. This would also help his image now that he's the captain. But the biggest reason being, so he can be close to Hazel.
Now they're having too much fun faking it and spending time together. But as they get to know more about each other, the lines begin to blur and they don't know what's fake and what isn't anymore.

READ. THIS. NOWW!!!
I absolutely loved thissss. I'll give it alll the damn stars. I genuinely didn't think I would love this as much as I did.
RORY MILLER, YOU ARE THE BESTTTT.
Rory was absolutely unhinged, in the best way. He was freaking hilarious. Made me laugh sooo hard. He was so cocky and competitive but also so damn loving, caring, protective, supportive, hot af and just beyond wonderful. And the schemes he came up with to piss off her ex had me crackling. He was sooo gone for Hazel from the start and the way he would take whatever she was willing to give was so cute. He was so patient with her and loved spoiling her.
Hazel was such a brilliant character. I loved how she didn't give up on the people she loved and stood by their side and kept trying. How she saw that there was so much more to Rory than what meets the eye and supported him so freaking much.
These two were soo meant to be. The banter between them. Their planning and scheming. They really were a team. The way they know exactly what the other needs and give it to each other. How they both were a great influence in each other's lives and helped in their growth and supported each other to take the steps that were needed, no matter how difficult they seemed. Also... the SPICEEEE
