4.5
I absolutely loved Ryder and Gigi together. And when he calls her ‘my wife’ I just about died. I don’t make the rules but this book will make you blush. The banter is superior, I was laughing throughout most of the book, either between Ryder or Gigi or just Ryder with anyone really. There is such good development character and I am so happy to see cameo from other favourite couples from Elle Kennedy’s series.
This is by no means a slow burn which means we get to see the main characters get together quite early on. While I am all for the buildup, it means we get to see them together for longer so that is a plus. My heart absolutely broke for Ryder’s back story so now I think ‘found family’ is slowly becoming my favourite trope.
Overall a fun, fast paced, banter 10/10, spicy hockey rom com must-read if you love Elle Kennedy’s books.
Tropes:
-grumpy x sunshine
-found family
-forced proximity
-sports romance
-2.5 🌶️
If you enjoy these tropes, be sure to check out the book! I am so happy that Elle decided to do a ‘next generation’ series and can’t wait for ‘The Dixon rule’ coming out 14/05!
