Skate the line is the second book in the Blue Devils hockey series by  SJ Sylvis and it was released yesterday February 6th, 2025! 

As many of you know, hockey romance is one of my favourite genres to read, and I would have to say this is one of the best hockey romance books I've ever read. I could not put it down and I'm completely obsessed with the overall plot and the connection between the characters. The banter and nicknames are quite amusing as well😂

Rhodes Volkova, I'm obsessed! He's a grumpy single dad with the cutest little girl that's his whole world aside from hockey. he doesn't trust easy, but knows exactly what and who he wants and man does he ever go for it 😏 honestly he's a dream and now one of my book boyfriends too🥰

Sunny gets hired by Rhodes to be Ellie's new nanny. Not only does she take amazing care of the little one, she also brings a lot of sunshine into both of their lives. But she is keeping a bit of a secret as she's trying to hide from someone which will come to light, but thankfully, she has the best support team ever❤️ the ending will completely melt your heart. 

I couldn't recommend this book more and I'm excited to read the rest of the series❤️
