The FMC was written as a pick me. In a “Look at me, I’m different” type of way. She doesn’t do “glitz and glam”, hates makeup, falsies, only drinks dark roast. She honestly sounds like she is not a girls girl, and I’m not interested.

3.75 stars. I enjoyed this light, easy read. I always appreciate a enemies to lovers story line, especially set in the world of sports. My biggest complaint with this one is I wish the story was a bit more fleshed out. Good characters and a good story concept - just wish it didn't move quite so quickly.

Lia Riley does it again. Another spicy romance with the Hellions, this time involving the head coach, Tor Gunnar. Neve Angel is a sports journalist and a thorn in Tor's side until an air hockey game changes things. A slow burn built up into a smoldering romance. I can't wait to read the next one.

Head Coach was a fun read. I enjoyed it very much.
Lots of things to like. A fun cute & fluffy with some great chemistry thrown in.
I like this installment in the series much better than Mister Hockey.
The romance was just like in the first book a bit cliche and very vanilla.
But very enjoyable.
In this installment Riley went much more into the character building. Which is why I like Head Coach better than Mister Hockey.
We get to see old character, which was awesome. I was looking forward to reading Tor's story after MH, and I wasn't disappointed by his POV. While I found Nev at times exasperating, I did really connect with her.
My favorite part however were the group scenes. I loved the support cast and the interaction between friends and foe alike. Interesting dynamics set up two strong & flawed characters. Very well done!
Why only 3.5 Stars?
Well, there is the vanilla romance. But more than, that it's boasting a lot of rom-com cliches.
And then there is the plot. It's kinda predictable. I don't mind that so much. But there was this build-up, to poof being solved so conveniently. I mean way to conveniently.
While there is a thread going through and they are clearly set one after the other. The books work as standalone. Let me tell you however: read them both. They are a wonderful weekend treat!
I shall be trying to be patient until March 2018, because I can't wait to read the next instalment. It will be interesting for sure!
