There is no talk about hockey. This is a sports romance and the plot should involve hockey or dance but it doesn’t. 

Jennie is an excellent main character who I hardcore related to. She is a dancer, has problems with the diet culture surrounding the dance world, has a fear of intimacy, and wants to bang a hot hockey player. I didn't find reading her point of view annoying, and I related to her struggles and was rooting for her to overcome them. She is so funny, and I love her. 

One of Jennie's main struggles throughout the book is the fact that she was sexually harassed in the past by her boyfriend, and has not been intimate since. There are no sex scenes in the book, but that doesn't mean it is not spicy. Often, authors skip over this hurdle for female characters, and I enjoyed reading Jennie's sexual journey throughout this book.
 

This series has been fun to read, and I can't wait for Adam's book. Adam is a sweetheart, and I want him and Emily to get together. She is a badass bitch who needs a golden retriever boyfriend.
