I love the Stone/Grant/Horton family. This was the first book in the new hockey spin off series and Chase and Julia were the perfect pair to start it off. It was definitely not a traditional sports/hockey romance and I actually appreciated that. 

Chase was the youngest child of Matthew Grant, and the only son to stray from his father’s legacy to become a doctor instead of a hockey player. He now worked as the team doctor for the same team his brother and cousins play for so there were a lot of cameos from the other hockey series. He and Julia, who is the twin of his cousin Michael’s wife, have been circling each other since they met. But they’ve always stayed just shy of crossing the line. 

Julia has her life go up in flames, and Chase becomes her rock. And their relationship is forever changed. They can no longer ignore their feelings for each other. I loved the evolution of their relationship. It was so seamless. Julia was someone who never let her feelings show, and for her to feel comfortable enough with Chase to let it all out in front of him really changed things. After that first tragic night, Chase showed his caring side to Julia and never looked back. When everything was spinning out of control, he was there, and he never left. 

While this was a lot more emotional than I thought it would be. I really loved the funny moments. Matthew and Max are truly some of the best secondary characters. I loved their relationship with each other and with Chase and Julia. The way everything ended was perfect. I loved the decision Julia made about her job. And I’m so ready to see what happens next with Vivienne!
