ARC review ~

Sports photographer Harper moves to Orchid Beach to get a new start after her bad relationship ends. Professional hockey player Nico is living his best life and not looking for anything serious. After the strangers collide in a bar it becomes a forced proximity/workplace/forbidden romance where the two fall hard for each other but need to keep their relationship a secret. They have a cat and mouse type back and forth with their emotions. Nico’s friend Wes provided him some clarity and wise words throughout. The only thing I didn’t like is that the book kind of abruptly ended before the epilogue (which also could have been better and had more closure.). This book is dual POV and there are some spicy scenes, but not too much. A nice, sports romance that is an easy read.

Thanks Cali for the ARC! Looking forward to the next book as the teaser at the end of this book sounded so good!!
