Vivienne comes from a multigenerational hockey family. A lot of them have been featured in a few of the authors earlier series.
She’s a positive, funny and nice heroine. She’s very likable and clever.
Xavier was an NHL player who walked away from it all to live on a boat with his dog, living a pretty solitary life. His reasons come to light later in the story and were a great part of the plot. He’s very grumpy with Vivienne when she moves into the boat docked next to his. She handles it well and plays little word and attitude games with him that are funny and give great enemies to lovers heat.
His dog plays a big part in their earlier interactions as she and Vivienne are fast besties.
I liked the story overall, I liked the banter between Vivienne’s huge family.
There’s a bit of a fun surprise about her that’s very cool.
I like the chemistry between the characters, it’s very hot and also quickly becomes emotional.
This story went from enemies to insta love pretty quickly. I wish their enemies banter and the buildup to bigger feelings had been teased a bit more. It’s my personal preference, I’m not usually a fan of insta love.
Overall, I still enjoyed the humor, the romance and the characters journey’s. It’s a sweet, steamy feel good romance.
The characters talk out loud to themselves a lot, it was an interesting style of storytelling. Xavier talks to his dog to be more clear, which is very cute and I’m guilty of doing the same.
The story involves mental health issues, I think it was a great addition to the character and story. It was handled delicately and with minimal details of a disturbing nature.
Fans of the author’s sports series will surely enjoy it and love seeing past characters as I did.
