ARC Review. JP has been fighting for the girl for years. For one perfect night, he knows what it means to have her, but his actions destroy them before they start. 18 months later, he’s in her town, determined to win her back. But Cammy won’t give in without a fight, or without knowing the truth.
Cammy is such a tough cookie. She’s been betrayed before, and her walls are a mile high. She is girl goals, with her no bs attitude and a wicked slapshot. She’s not about to let JP in a second time. JP on the other hand, is giving up almost everything for a second chance. It must be noted that JP kills me with the French. I would read the scene and then translate when he dips into French and all of a sudden I’m a puddle. He lays his heart out so clearly for her in a language she doesn’t understand. He’s desperate to change how everyone sees him and find redemption in the eyes of the only woman he’s ever loved. There’s a Zamboni moment, and a lot of self-sacrificing (to the point I wanted to shake the MMC). Solid hockey read.
