5.0

I finished this book in 1-2 sittings. It was a little cheesy, but well written. The conversations and reflections of the characters felt authentic. I may have felt called out by some of the advice given lol. 

Fast pace and fast burning romance, with a dash of unrealistic. Although, college romances can move quickly.

There were around 3 shorter sex scenes. The majority of the spiciness was in the build up and desires expressed through dual pov.

Loved the mmc. Fmc was a little too exaggerated in her naivety, but the trust issues and core belief issues were handled well. 

Overall, very cute and definitely recommend for a healing romance read.

I liked this more than I thought it would. Not going to rate it, but do I feel the need to move on to the next couple? Yes. Between 50% and 75% I did start to wonder if I wanted to create my own end because it just moved slow. If you enjoyed the first half, just keep going.
Hockey college romance where hockey jargon isn't really in it until the epilogue.

4.25 Stars. It was really good. I loved their connection from the beginning. I absolutely hate the cheating trope. I hated Logan and was happy towards the end when he got what was coming to him. I was also shocked when he stood up to her parents but I'm happy they stepped up for her too. Should have happened sooner! Can't wait to read Blakely's book :)
