The main characters were really sweet and you definitely wanted to root for them. There were a bunch of side characters that I’m curious to learn more about in the later books. I appreciated that the misogynistic puck bunny content that shows up in so many of these hockey romance books was kept to a minimum. While I thought the story did a good job, overall, I am kind of over the trope where the female main character is sexually handicapped in someway, and the male main character saves her with his magical man parts.

Leo Trevi joins the Bruisers NHL team and discovers that Georgia, his high school girlfriend who dumped him on graduation day, is the publicist for the team. Leo is still in love with Georgia, and he is trying to play it cool around her while maintaining his spot on the team. Georgia's father is also the new coach for the Bruisers, and he keeps making Leo's life difficult.

This book can be read as a standalone. I thought Leo and Georgia had a good chemistry, but I hated the frequent mentions to her rape. The way the characters in the book discussed the sexual assault felt too casual and cavalier.
