This was my first why choose hockey romance and overall it was good! Everything was pretty fast paced so I had a harder time connecting to the characters which made me give this 3 stars instead of 4 stars. When I say fast paced, it may have been because there were 4 POVs. Spice didn't happen until halfway through. The angst and how much the guys were fighting their attraction was pretty fun to read!
Charlotte has hit rock bottom. She walked in on her BF of 2 years cheating on her with another man, and his reaction was to kick her out. Now she finds herself at her brother's apartment. The one he shares with his 3 teammates that are supposed to be out of town. But then they walk in on her naked and things change significantly. After some hemming and hawing, everyone agrees that Charlotte can stay and no one is going to tell Harrison. Jace also sets a rule that no one can hook up with Charlotte. She is off limits. But as the week goes on Mateo and Roman and Jace all have a hard time remembering why that rule was set in place. Charlotte is awesome. She thinks about them and does sweet gestures for them to thank them for letting her stay. In turn, they start to help her with things. After getting fired, they encourage her to start her dream of a lingerie company. Jace is worst of all. We find out that he has been harboring a crush since forever but has decided to be a jerk so his true feelings will never come out. But now time is up. Their hockey is on the ice (LOL). They can't stop thinking about her. Each of them have had a moment with her and now they ask her to decide. Who does she want? When her answer is all 3 everyone's lives change? Now they are on the other side of a night none of them will ever forget when Harrison walks in the door. He is understandably livid. He doesn't know who to trust and this is all happening right before hockey playoffs. Charlotte does what she thinks is best but realizes she needs to talk things through with Harrison. And ultimately the decision to be with her men is HERS.
The quarrel if you will with this one was what would happen if Harrison found out. He knew something was going on but not what it was. I really didn't agree with his response to it. The way he was talking about his sister also affected my rating. Give yourself a minute, but don't say things you can't take back. I do wonder if this is going to be a series. There was some major tension going on between Harrison and Charlotte's BF.
