Ben and Aleks have a lot of reasons to stay apart despite the universe keeps bringing them together. Their one night stand won't stay in the past so now they have to figure our what to do from here. The book is entertaining and the characters are likeable.
I went into this book thinking there was going to be a lot of conflict between these two, but I was pleasantly surprised that both Ben and Aleks were both pleasant and mature kind of guys. They were both outgoing and the giving kind of people. Ben's only flaw was that he definitely judged Aleks too quickly. They already had insane physical chemistry and enjoyed each other's company, so I was happy they went all together with themselves and the project. Just a little family drama which was actually kept pretty tame to make this a more heartwarming read with a nice dose of spice!
THE NIGHT BEFORE was a cute book and I liked reading a hockey romance that featured someone other than a player. Instead Aleks is an equipment manager and Ben is doing research on CTE to improve safety in hockey and other contact sports. Both men were sweet, caring, and a touch nerdy. Most of the angst comes from the history between their respective families and everything resolves itself pretty easily. I don't know that this one will be overly memorable but it does have me interested in reading this author's upcoming hockey series.
