Another great hockey romance to add to the mix! I usually don't like the secret baby trope but I was here for it in this book.

This story was told in dual POV which I love as it helps understand the characters better.

Drew and Audrey knew each other in college and after a one night stand Audrey's life changed forever. Drew left to play in the NHL and never returned any of Audrey's calls so he had no idea that she was pregnant. 5 years later Drew is traded to the NHL team in his home team and he very quickly runs into Audrey. During this run in her son is with her and after Drew asked him how old he was he started to figure it all out.

Drew wants nothing more then to be a part of his sons life and really wants Audrey back as well. Audrey is hesitant to let him back in as she doesn't want her son to get hurt. The steamy tension between them takes over immediately and we learn very quickly that it will be very hard for them to stay away from each other.

Watching this story unfold was amazing and I absolutely love their little family!
