Match Penalty by Kenna King
4.0

“I might not have all the answers, but I know one thing for sure: Cammy is my end game.”

Thank you to chasing books PR & the author for an ARC, in exchange for my honest opinion. 

This was my first book by Kenna, and it definitely won’t be my last! I really enjoyed the close knit group of found family in this story, and can easily see so many more future books to come! 

JP and Cami were so cute together, and man oh man was JP a man obsessed, he was down badddddd for Cami. The way he was willing to put everything including his hockey career on the line for her, was so sweet. And the fact that he always spoke to little endearments in French to her…. So swoony! The Zamboni scene… I will simply never recover, this was everything!!! 

All my sports romance girlies add this one to the tbr

Tropes:
🏒Hockey Romance 
🩵Second chance 
🏒He speaks French to her 
🩵Coaches daughter 
🏒Found family 
🩵Reformed bad boy 

My fave quotes:

“That each puck I tossed to you meant as much to you as they did to me. Maybe there's more to us than you think there is,” he says, his eyes soft as he searches mine for some kind of answer.”

“Because I want every part of Cammy. Her rose petals and her thorns.”

“That each puck I tossed to you meant as much to you as they did to me. Maybe there's more to us than you think there is,” he says, his eyes soft as he searches mine for some kind of answer.”

“You’re the vision of my fantasies. I'll never forget how perfect you look tonight,” he murmurs, his voice deep yet gentle.

“Anytime. This is my favorite place on earth, and I get to be here, with you… well, there’s nowhere I’d rather be than on home ice with you.”
