Madison is a baker who is moving to Orlando, hoping for a fresh start when her car breaks down and Hunter shows up to help. Madison made a promise to herself that she'd never fall for a professional athlete, particularly a hockey player, again. But Hunter is hard to resist with his sweet and caring nature, leaving Madison considering taking a chance.
I love a sports romance novel, particularly hockey romance, so HOT SHOT was right up my alley! Hunter and Madison's story is told in alternating dual POV which I really enjoyed as it gives a more complete view of the budding relationship. Both of the main characters are flawed and come into the story with their own baggage, but I loved how they share and grow together over the course of the story.
I thought the initial meeting between Madison and Hunter was cute and flirty with a great foundation to the chemistry between the two. I liked that the communication between the couple was relatively open and honest which was refreshing. The romance is a bit of a slow burn as the chemistry and tension builds between the two. The chemistry was palpable and well written with a couple well placed spicy scenes in the mid to back half of the book.
I loved the side characters we meet over the course of the novel and am hopeful to see some of them again in the next book!
The epilogue was well done and I loved the bonus epilogue that was shared as a separate file making for a beautiful conclusion to this love story! I can't wait to see what Marissa will write next!
