Tropes: friends to lovers, ice hockey romance, roommates, he falls first, found family

Hayden and Darcy all my favourites in this series and this is an incredible series, but these two are the best so far sorry Jamie, Pippa, Rory and Hazel!! 

The story had everything in it that I love the only thing missing was a tearjerking heart ripping out moment but who am I to judge? It really wasn’t needed.!!! 

Where do I start on this review without rambling on how much I love them without giving any real details?… the fact that it’s a friend to lovers and I still absolutely love this book has got me really questioning which tropes I actually enjoy. Hahaha I think it’s just the way this author writes them they just work!!

I think what really sold this book for me was the way they built each other up and there was no third act which is great for some stories but I’m so glad this one didn’t have it because they were so strong and such a power couple… that kit guy though he kind of got his comeuppance but he kind of didn’t and I don’t know how I feel. I feel like I just wanted him to actually be deleted. Hahah 

Sometimes in sweet romances the family described and detailed in the story this time they weren’t which was really interesting. I didn’t notice their absence until I finished reading it .. again wasn’t needed but it was something else that I was surprised wasn’t in there.

I loved that Hayden encouraged her to find herself and she started wearing colourful clothes that she wanted and dying her hair. The colour she wanted it which was really boss bitch vibes and I live for it!!!

The whole eight years thing annoys me I get it was in the story and it made the story perfect but the fact that he waited eight years makes me want to cry because he’s so adorable and I’m so glad they’re both happy now!!

I was actually in a massive slump before I read this book and this has saved the day yet again!! All the weddings are really sweet and the dates are really sweet and the jobs and the declarations… Have I mentioned I love this book? 

Shout out to Daniel ahahaha what I great addition I can’t lie I loved his cameos!!! And the fact that there were cherry blossoms in this book oooo I just knew it was the perfect book for me!!!

So it’s no surprise they had chemistry and I mean chhhheeeemmmmiiiisssttttrrryyy and it was so interesting watching them both feel the same things, but not tell each other I wanted to scream?! 

Picking a quote was sooooo hard they had romance but they had comedy and so I highlighted most of my kindle reading this… I nearly chose a Daniel quote! But I went for cute cherry blossom HEA vibes because who doesn’t love a HEA!

Georgia and Volkov what a twist at the end… I felt like it was coming but I didn’t expect the whole well… You know…!!!! I am 100% certain I am going to make sure that I definitely get newsletters and countdown for this next book because somehow I missed it for the wingman and I don’t even know how because I was obsessed with this book release!!!
