I wanted to read this book because I enjoyed Meghan Quinn’s Cane brothers’ series and was wanting to read more of her work. I love hockey romances and I enjoyed the first book in the series, but the second and third book is just so frustrating and annoying and pissed me off. It was so damn long with little plot. 

This book has two points of view. The first is Ollie Owens and she is overworked and under-paid and now it’s getting worst, whilst she was trying to enjoy her night out with her best mate, she runs into her nemesis, and she is sleeping with her ex-boyfriend. Now, Ollie is in a state of sheer panic and reaches for the closest guy at the bar and kissed him, and to her delight he was easily the most attractive man she has ever met. The only problem is when she tried to walk away and carry on with her night, he stops her and says three life-changing words . . . “You owe me.” What did this handsome stranger want? A fake relationship to help keep his ex-girlfriend away from him. What she didn’t know is that the person she kissed was professional hockey player Silas Taters. The second point of view is Silas Taters. He is heartbroken, after his childhood sweetheart has been cheating on him for months. He is quiet and he doesn’t trust anyone anymore or let anyone in. This all changed once Ollie entered his life, they have an arrangement that works for both. The college girl keeps his cheating ex who is now working for the team which he plays on. He helps her with her journalling internship. They become fast friend. It wasn’t until Silas started staying the night at Ollie’s dorm that the rules of the arrangement become complicated. Now feelings are involved and even thought they kissed at the right time, Ollie is worried he’s just waiting for the clock to run out.  

Again, as with the first book, I loved the bromance between the boys, and I would die for any of them. I love how they all call out each other’s bullshit and make sure they are responsible for the shit they do especially when they aren’t communicating correctly. I love how the boys came together to help Silas to trust again, and that Ollie was the girl for him. I love Ollie’s best friend and how he got more into hockey that Ollie did. That was about it. I liked the lads. 

I hate the cheating trope, there is just no need for it. Both main characters were a bit wishy-washy at time, which made me want to smack them both. For someone who is supposed to be the “young one” Ollie was very old for her age and Silas was a child. I hated the miscommunication, and the third-act conflict wasn’t needed at all. For the whole book being about trust and patience, no one had trust and patience. This book should have been smaller than the first book and I would have preferred that compared to whatever the hell this one. I thought it was weird that Silas wanted to spend so much time in the dorms and the classes instead of trying to get Ollie to hang out with him in his domain.  

The boys saved this book, and I would like to hope that Halsey’s book is so much better otherwise I'm about to jump off a cliff. Also, Ollie is my male dog's name, and it was just bizarre reading a main character with the same name as my dog.

A sweet, fun romance! This was my first Meghan Quinn book and I had a really good time reading it. Even though it is the third book in a series, I didn’t feel lost or confused.

Silas and Ollie were so sweet together and I loved their relationship. I also really loved Silas’ interactions with his teammates (although for a hockey romance, this was fairly light on the actual hockey) 

The Spice was also really well done but I could have done with a little less. It got repetitive and if I hadn’t been listening to the audiobook, I definitely would have started skimming. I will say though their chemistry was great

All and all I really enjoyed this book and plan to read more from this series

A bit of an age gap - mfc is 21 and mmc is 31, and that's talked about early in the book. While age gap isn't my favorite trope, I kinda like how it was handled. The mfc is mature and confident, and makes emotionally mature decisions most of the time, and doesn't need to lean on the mmc for anything.
