5.0

Note: I received an ARC from the author in exchange for an honest review. 

I didn’t think I could love a hockey couple more than Jaime and Pippa (and they are definitely one of my fave book couples), but Hazel and Rory just proved me wrong. When I say I *devoured* this book, I’m talking a matter of hours! 

If you love a couple with witty banter, amazing chemistry at the arena AND in the bedroom, and the capability to grow both as individuals and as a couple, then you will fall in love with Hazel and Rory. This story focuses primarily on their romance of course, but also talks a lot about themes that are important to me, such as loving, not just accepting, your body and its flaws, forgiving your parents, and taking leaps of faith. Overall, this book is 5/5 for me!

I recommend this book for all looking for a cozy story with a very sweet HEA. I can’t wait to see what Archer does next!
