The Writing - Amazing
The Characters - Cute and Funny
The Romance - Spicy and Scandalously Fun
I relished in this book from beginning to end and I wish already that it wasn't over. Pippa and Jamie are a whirlwind of fun, and with the addition of the cutest sounding dog on the planet this book was adorable! I regret to say that I have not read any other books written by Stephanie Archer, and after finishing "Behind the Net" I will certainly be rectifying this.
Pippa was such a fun and amazing character. She went from being emotionally crushed after all she had gone through to then be swept up and protected by Jamie in his gorgeously masculine arms. It was a perfect romantic storm. Jamie is also so soft and sweet and my heart melted while he was talking about his mum.
I loved how the characters had history together, and the forced proximity really added to the undercover feelings the two characters shared between each other. I confess to being a huge Ice Hockey fan and thoroughly enjoyed imagining the teams on the ice and how the descriptions of the games played out. If you're a fan of dirty talk and professional Ice Hockey then this is definitely a book series worth checking out! (Or even just the dirty talk part, because, oh my...)
Thank you Stephanie, I can't wait to see what else comes out next!
