One of my favorite hockey romances. Was super cute and spicy and real.

Tropes/Themes:
-MF new adult romance
-Sports romance (college hockey)
-One night stand to roommates
-Brother’s friend/teammate
-Grump x Sunshine
-Forced proximity
-ADHD rep (heroine)
-Dual POV
-Book #2 in an interconnected standalone series

My biggest issue with the first book in this series was the page length, so I was very happy that this book was significantly shorter. I ended up really enjoying this one. I liked the grump x sunshine dynamic and how infatuated these two were from the start.

“Why can’t I quit you” - me to hockey romances. This was a fun one though.

This was basically the same plot as friends with Monica and chandler start of their story but throw in hockey. Secret romance with brother’s BF. First half is the sneaking around then about 20% was just like the one where everyone finds out. No third act breakup which I thought would happen, but was pleasantly surprised.

I liked this better than her other one.
