* SPOILERS *
This was an easy read, but I thought quite long for this kind of romance book. There were positives; it’s about hockey, the friendship between Olivia and Cara was three dimensional and I liked that it’s a hockey romance with slightly older - out of university or college - characters.
However, the romance and plot didn’t do it much for me. I thought Carter and Olivia got together too soon, which led to not much plot for the rest of the book other than (at times cringy) sex scenes and lots of “I love you so sooo much.”
The final conflict caused by Courtney I found quite weak and it could have easily been avoided by Carter communicating in the first instance with Olivia.
So for those reasons, Consider Me gets a 2 star review from me. An okay easy read, but the plot and characters needed work. I disliked the proposing at someone else’s wedding - even with the bride’s permission - and the inevitable “she’s pregnant” at the end.
