I am just so consumed by Ari Baran's way with words and their storytelling skills. The way the characters feel like they live outside the pages, like this is some sort of biography rather than a romance. The eye for detail and the guts to just let the characters figure themselves and each other out.

Where Game Misconduct was brutal and fiery with burning hate and personal pain, this was the glowing warmth of friendship and team spirit.

I am just waiting for the next thing Ari publishes. Hockey romance of fantasy fiction - count me in ✨
