Very cute grumpy to sunshine tripe. Good story line. Very clean (no spice).

I absolutely devoured this closed door hockey romance! The male main character, Mitch, is an NHL player with a hot temper. To help his public image, Mitch coaches a kids team for a month and sees himself in one of the kids. Fortunately for Mitch, this kid’s legal guardian is his very attractive sister, Angie. 

I haven’t read a book this fast in ages. It’s fast paced, and shows a vulnerable side in all the characters immediately. Despite this, the focus is all around healthy habits and lifestyles in a way that I found really positive. 

Favorite quote: I release a deep breath. I hadn’t noticed I’d even been waiting with bated breath, but I had. I can’t even breathe correctly when it comes to Andie.
