This was my first book by this author. It was well written & edited. I thought the storyline was interesting and I am very glad that the author didn’t make any of the hockey players jerks (even the side characters).

This was a spicy and fun, albeit shallow read. It was a good palate cleanser, and I don’t think it was trying to be anything other than a feel-good junk food read. My primary annoyance was the author’s overuse of what I would consider incorrect colloquialisms (ie “home in” instead of “hone in”— which I now know is also used after looking it up, but since it was used several times in a short span, I found it irritating).

I liked this book, but this is not my favorite hockey romance that I've read. Some of the inner monologue for the characters was cringey and boring to read. Also, for some reason I just really don't like the name Trina.

In this one, we follow Trina's story after discovering that her deadbeat boyfriend has been cheating, but I loved how she found out! Her dog was eating the other woman's panties! It was a hilarious way to start a book, and I loved it so much! I hoped the comedic vibe would continue throughout the story, but we lose sight once the trio hooks up. Don't get me wrong, there were still a lot of funny moments, and I was rooting for Trina throughout the book. Still, I needed a little more in the end, especially on the dramatic side. We had so much potential from both Jasper and Selena. Still, in the end, they fizzled out instead of fulfilling the chaos they were eluding to.
I get why this book blew up like it did because when it first came out, it was EVERYWHERE, and I didn't hate it. It was okay, but I just wanted a little more from it. I was kind of sucked into all of the hype that was centered around this book when it first came out and I did really enjoy the first half of the book and I didn't hate the second half, I just wanted more from it.
