Realizing that friends to lovers is one of my favorite tropes and it was done really well here. I read a lot of sports romances and since hockey seems to be the most popular sport in romance, they tend to blend together. This one really stood out for me and I enjoyed it tremendously. Watching Asher and Maeve realize they have been slowly falling in love over ten years was sweet and lovely. The spice was HOT. Asher's control issues were very relatable for me and got me thinking about how I need to let go of my need to keep my loved ones in bubble wrap.
