I really enjoyed this book. I do like the friends-to-lovers trope, but very often it can be a bit too much and the obliviousness too unrealistic. Here it was well done I think, there also is huge miscommunication going on, but it is explainable especially by Nate's anxiety. The side characters were great, and it was nice to see the couple from book 1 again. The one small thing I didn't like that much was the superstition thing, that they "had to" continue sleeping together to win games. I have seen that in a gay hockey romance before and already found it stupid then. the story would have worked perfectly fine also without this.
But overall, if you like gay hockey romance, I definitely recommend this series!
