What i liked: 
- the suspense was what the hockey romance let hit you differently, loved it!
- found family, i even had a tear in my eyes when they reconnected
- that birdie figured out herself before really committing to lonan, that she wanted to find her independence before giving it up to him. She safed herself
- the spice was hot
Something wich nagged on me since reading: 
- he ‚overheard‘ her talking with her friend and manipulated her to live with him. This act was too possessive and manipulative for my liking. Big 🚩 

Though would i recommend this book: yeah, if you want a good and relaxing time!

Wow! I would have never known this was the author’s debut novel! The author nailed it, hitting it out of the ballpark! I was intrigued after reading the blurb. The FMC was kidnapped as a child, and her family was left devastated, trying to find her. The way she puts the clues together and finds her family and reconnects with her childhood crush is unique and amazing. The spice is great, and the narrators do a fantastic job of bringing the story to life. Definitely recommend!
