I LOVED the first book in this series, so I dunno what happened here but this fell flat for me. The writing style felt so different from the first book. It was incredibly cheesy and just really unbelievable for a lot of it.

This book was somewhat entertaining but overall unremarkable and highly predictable.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

This was my first Maren book I read, and from the moment I started it I was hooked and went back and read all of her books leading up to this one!
Maren does a great job of writing characters that are so right for each other that it’s *chefs kiss* And she knocks it out of the park with hockey romance with all the right tropes sandwiched in there, this one being accidental pregnancy.
Briggs and Maddison have a one night stand that leads to a forever commitment even though it wasn’t planned. *cough cough* Baby Olive… Maddison and Briggs are trying to navigate co-parenting without having a intimate relationship themselves. Let me tell you the way that this man shows up and tries his hardest to be the best daddy is, OMG so good! Like can Briggs be my baby daddy? But through their ups and downs they get to know each other and find that they actually enjoy spending time together not just because of Olive. But Maddison has a secret that could unfortunately change everything..

I highly recommend this book if you love hockey romance, Maren is the queen of it!!

really cute book

I enjoyed reading this book!

i loved the relationship between Madison & Briggs

it gave me slight Gossip Girl vibes because of the blog that Madison ran!

i do wish some things would have been a little different, to me it felt like they were still really nervous and it kind of felt like Briggs was hesitant to help out … just with some ways the dialogue was when he helped with Olive - gave me the vibes that they were still coparenting not as a couple

i wish we could’ve gotten to see more of them together once they made up as well!

overall really enjoyed this book!

Hockey romance sign me up. I absolutely loved the main characters and their banter was so fun and witty. I normally don’t like when it’s an instant love trope, but for these characters it worked then the twist to a second chance love. It worked so well. Briggs Briggs Briggs omg Briggs. Why is he so damn hot and respectful. Y’all I love that man. The way he stepped up to being a father perfect. The scenes with the big ole hockey players and the baby OMG my ovaries couldn’t take it.
