If you want a quick read then this book is one for you.
I love my hockey romances, especially when it comes to the hockey player having a dream and fulfilling it. This was a cute, light, low angst, slow burn. It had me smiling and then snuck in some feels later in the story, but was just an overall easy read.
Collin is a professional hockey player who's having a rough time professionally. He's not a classic player that needs to be reeled in and he's a genuinely good guy. Harper is an artist specializing in horror and she's more of an introvert.
They meet when Harper almost runs him over at night on the side of the road. There's a missed connection and then another chance comes around. The story focuses on their relationship from their meet-cute to keeping things casual to developing deeper feelings.
There are some miscommunications and some angst at the end that I understood but didn’t necessarily love, but I did love the resolution to it as both funny and sweet. Nice chemistry (including through text messages) and some good spice. Some great side characters, who I hope have their own books, who added some extra humour and support for the main characters.
This book so cute though. The banter was amazing. The tension, longing, and angst? Absolute perfection. Someone find me a man who willingly takes baths with candles, volunteers at an animal shelter, and plays professional hockey like now.
