This book had so much potential to be a 5 star read read for me!
Overall, I really liked this book. It was a sweet, fun and sexy hockey romance which can never really go wrong in my books! I adored the MMC and his character arc.
I went into this fully prepared to watch the hockey play boy MMC have to do the growing and maturing in the relationship, but that wasn't the case at all.
Yes, he was a hockey play boy who got around, but he seemed to be the mature one in the relationship. In the beginning I liked her. She was a strong and determined FMC which I appreciated. But the more I learned about her the more I recognized her immaturity and she came off as whiney.
The first moment that really gave me the ick is when the MMC was waiting for her to go on a Ferris wheel and another girl approached him, so completely out of nowhere she turned to the guy she had been talking to and told him to kiss her.
The next thing that rubbed me the wrong way was her relationship with her father. She is absolutely valid in her resentful feelings for him not being around much during her childhood because he was traveling as a professional hockey player. However, the way she handled that relationship was very immature in my opinion.
Thank you to NetGalley and Penguin Random House Canada for the ARC.
