Hot Flashes and Hockey Slashes is a fun and touching later in life romance between Roman, an aging hockey star and Olivia, a perimenopausal shoe designer and innovator. His daughter is her daughter’s best friend. The young women devise a plan for him to attend Olivia’s ex-husband (and her children’s father)’s destination wedding as her fake date.
Shenanigans ensue, as well as a thoughtful look at various ways life changes as you age, whether physically, emotionally or mentally. It is a smart and sexy romance. One thing I really appreciated was the nuance it found in the change in relationships after divorce. I really enjoyed the entire book and look forward to the next one.
