Received this book for free for my honest review.
I enjoyed this book. It is a little on the smutty side but the book just pulled you in and you fall in love with all the characters. Tanner and Kate were college lovers who split as Tanner went to the NHL. Kate moved to Chicago, started her own business, forgot about Tanner and no longer paid attention to the NHL. Kate is hired to be a wedding event planner and it is one of Tanners buddies getting married. Very cute story and lots of passion :)

After reading Top Shelf a while back, I didn’t hesitate when I saw this one on Netgalley, because I really liked it, and I wanted more of that world. I’m so glad I did, because this book was awesome, I really like this Hockey world that Jamieson created with this series, and I can’t wait to read the other 2 books that I haven’t read yet.
I loved the writing on this one, the book is told in dual POV, third person, but it’s that sort of third person POV that has a unique voice, you know? It was just fast and fun to read, even in its emotional moments.
I’m a sucker for second chance romances, I just love the idea of them, so when I realized that this was one, I was ecstatic. I loved Tanner and Katelyn, they were both well rounded characters, who had clearly grown up a lot since they were last together, and they both also grow considerably during the duration of this book. Both of them are pretty scared to get hurt and hurting the other one again, but their chemistry is amazing, and they are just so darn cute when they finally get together.
I loved the inclusion of their friends and Tanner’s team during the whole plot of the book. This is a major thing, because it goes to Tanner’s fears and his strengths and my heart was just so happy with all those amazing friendships.
I really liked the plot, and how for most of the things, Tanner and Katelyn actually talked about their issues. They both make somewhat dumb choices at one point or another, because they were scared (mostly), but I was happy that those dumb moments didn’t overextend, and I was very very happy with the resolution.
I have to recommend this series if you’re into hockey romances, because it is a delight. I love the group of friends, their connections, the writing, the romance, the characters… everything! Give this a chance.

This was kind of "meh". So far it's my least favorite in the series. I'm excited to hit book five.

I fell in love with this series via Max's book, and I am determined to work my way through them all, because I'm a fan of the Aces. This was a second chance romance, which is a favorite of mine, and I adored all the history Tanner and Katelyn shared.
You could tell what they shared in college was the real, and I kept rooting for these two to just accept that they were destined to be together. They had great chemistry, great banter -- essentially all the things I love to see in a good romance, but it was the way they really saw each other and shared each other's joy and sadness, which got me right in the feels.
Tanner's deep rooted fears made my heart ache. When he revealed these well buried insecurities, I was quite shocked, and yeah, I really wanted to give him a hug. I was trash towards the end of the book as he and Katelyn were working through all that, and yes, there were some happy tears. Especially during that A+ epilogue!! Seriously, it was fantastic.
So, I will continue to work my way through the earlier books of these series, because after 3 books, I am a solid Aces fan.
