I always say, "I don't read romance." ... And then I continue to read romance.... and then I continue to like it.
I picked up The Deal because it was free on Kindle Unlimited, and I kept seeing it everywhere. Going into this, I thought it was just going to be a silly, goofy romance that was written similiarily to a WattPad RPF of an NHL team. I was pleasantly surprised that this book ended up being so much more.
Yes, it does fall into the cliches romances tend to. Yes, it's a little cringey, but it is heartfelt and enjoyable. The dynamics between Garrett and Hannah are enjoyable. I enjoy seeing how they both grow together in both their friendship and their inevitable relationship. Their banter was refreshing and fun. I would recommend this for someone who is looking for a sports (hockey) romance with some sex scenes.
