4.5 stars

This was my first book by Sloane St. James and I am now obsessed with this series. I can’t wait to read the rest of this series. I’m series going to cancel all plans and binge them. In this book we mean Birdie and Lonan. They were childhood friends but Birdie was kidnapped as a young child and returns as an adult. The FMC is relatable in her insecurities and vulnerability. Lonan gave off “it’s always been you energy” and I was totally there for it. What a great start to a series. Very excited to read Mickey’s story in book 2. I like the side characters and look forward to reading their stories.

When I started reading this book I wasn't expecting for it to have such a dark beginning, however I really enjoyed it. There were a few things that I think were missing that would have made this a 5 star read but the romance was very good.
I couldn't put the book down for a couple of days and I can't wait to read the next book.
This is, so far, the spiciest book I have read this year.

OMG it’s been a while since I’ve read a book that quick. I was in a mood for a romance involving hockey and some mystery and damn I’m sold 😍😍😍 I loved that book from the beginning to the end.

Lonan knows what and who he wants and boy, that guy will do anything for Birdie 🥹🥹🥹 she’s her childhood crush and he couldn’t let go of her. So the man has done anything he could to show her how much he loves her and what he’ll do to keep her happy beside him 😭😭

Like I’m a sucker for love and I could not not stop reading the book: the tension between both of them was actually amazing and so thick 🥵🥵🥵 and the smut damnnnn. I felt like I was there with them and oh boy, it was getting hot 🥵 

The mystery and the suspense was a bonus honestly and I think that’s why I loved it even more. 🥹🥹
