Firstly, that cover *shudder*. That guy looks like he's about to murder you and wear your skin.
The book was pretty good. It was too short to get into much depth. There were a whole bunch of plot points that were brought up, then dropped just as quickly. It could have been really good if it was longer.

Nope. First one was good but this one was pretty boring and the two main characters made no sense with each other.

A former competitive ice skater turned sports journalist butts heads (and hearts) with an icy Swedish hockey coach. An enemies to lovers tale full of banter, sexual tension, and an air hockey bet turned into wedding date.
This was my first Lia Riley and I super enjoyed her wit, especially the Star Wars references! Her heroine is a hard working, realist with some self-doubts plaguing her since her sudden exit from ice skating for "not being feminine enough." I appreciated her love of her profession, her age (she's 30), and her willingness to try new things, even dating the damn guy who said he would rather have sex with a penguin (!!), but not without confronting him about it first.
There was enough drama, but no lies. While not my favorite hero, Tor was a hunk who eventually melted my heart.
I do have to say the cover kind of...turns me off? Like, whoa, head right there. But hey, this is an eBook so it isn't like you have to carry it around. Also, the characters names were a bit much and Riley does try to pack in the plot points despite the short length. From ice skating, ex-wives (who, kudos to Riley, was a great but very minor character), a daughter, a car accident, to hockey, and even booby-tassel dancing, some of the things felt a bit rushed when I really just wanted Tor and Neve to be together on the page.
Still, give it a go, you won't be sad.
