I’m hooked on Kelly Jamieson hockey romances! Ever since I picked up my first Bears Hockey book (Must Love Dogs…), I fell for the characters, and little Otis, how she wrote about the #Humboldt crash but fictionalized it - she’s a Canadian author that is absolutely one-click for me!
Crossing the Line is yet another example of her brilliant writing style and she’s giving us a brother’s best friend trope in a fresh way. When Ben has to room with his BFF for a couple months before his new place is ready, and then suddenly Mabel shows up to live on the couch after an unexpected break-up and moves to the city, he knows he’s in trouble. He’s always had a thing for her but she’s completely off-limits! She’s the only one who can help with his public speaking problems though, when his coach and staff require him to step out of his comfort zone in a bid to become team captain.
A fresh take on a number of tropes (not just the one), Jamieson’s beautiful prose, and who doesn’t love a hockey romance?! A definite recommendation from me, obviously! I couldn’t put it down!
Thank you to Boldwood Books and NetGalley for the early copy. This is my honest feedback.
