I loved it so much! This story was so adorable and perfect. I did get confused in the beginning by all the French but it became a lot easier to understand throughout the story. I loved their love and everything about the characters. It was so fresh and different that there wasn’t a power dynamic between the two as one was idolized by the other. They were truly equals and I loooooved the team and everyone involved in the story. So beautiful
I was not prepared for this book. It pulled me in and didn’t let go. First of all I love hockey - the play by plays were amazing. Such great detail. Loved the Quebecois French used throughout the book. Being a Montrealer myself it was wonderful to experience a little bit of home again.
Now to the story- these two main characters are so lovable. There desire for the game and need to understand their connection to each other is just palpable. You can feel their angst, their heartbreak, their passion, their exploration as the navigate through all of their challenges.
The character development is top notch. You learn so much about the team in general and it does not feel overwhelming - it feels necessary.
I loved this book so much. I laughed, I cried, for a few chapters I was on the edge of my seat and overall it is just a warm and fuzzy love story kind of like enjoying a cookie fresh from the oven.

Just...so beautiful. Tal Bauer just knows how to write romance.
So much love and romance, no third act break up and still you feel like crying and read until your eyes bleed.
Forever one of my favourite authors.

The instant love, the French, the cheesiness. There's only so much I can take.
4.25 stars.
Some bumps in the road along the way but this a feel-good, too-sweet-to-be-real, hockey romance that is 1/3 game play-by-play and all Tal Bauer. Her writing is so beautiful and descriptive and the romance so sweet.
Note: I know almost nothing about hockey and don't feel like I was lectured on the game play but I also was able to understand what was going on.
