I enjoyed this book just as much as the first two; I adore this series. It’s such a fun, easy read while tackling some emotional topics. 

Dean is the ice hockey team’s womaniser. Allie is Hannah’s best friend, and a strictly relationship girl. When Allie breaks up with boyfriend Sean due to his controlling nature and Hannah is out of town, Allie stays at the hockey boys’ house as Sean has threatened to come round despite her telling him no. 

Dean is home alone. He and Allie share a night of passion and find themselves unable to forget the other. They’re both happier than they’ve ever been. 

But then Dean’s friend dies and he spirals down into depression and alcohol and drug abuse and there’s only so long Allie can stand by him and watch him lose control. 

At rock bottom, Dean must make some choices. Will he be able to change his ways for the girl he loves?
