WOW! All I have to say is wow!
The story itself, the slow burn, the characters, the setting...everything keeps you hooked from the moment you start reading it.
Willow is such a lovely character and all she wants is for her family and the people from the small town she lives in to stop cuddling her so much after an accident that happened many years ago. Her life is turned upside down when Jesse appears as her sister's fake boyfriend, and she feels something familiar that draws her to him but she is not sure why.
Jesse is a hockey player, grumpy and very private. Returning to a town where he swore not to step again brings changes in his life. The meeting with Willow makes him so grumpy and wants to return to his home, but although he tries his best to stay as far away from her as possible, he can't. He develops deep feelings for her, but is there any chance of a relationship when the past doesn't really want to stay in the past?
I liked how the author wrote the character development. There is a big difference between how they were in the beginning vs. the end, and I'll leave to you to discover more.
The first book in the duet ends with a big cliffhanger that only made me want the next book even more. I think it releases in the beginning of December if I remember correctly, so we don't really have that long to wait.
Thank you Katherine Jay for the opportunity to read this amazing book in exchange for an honest review.
