Meet Me in the Penalty Box by Cali Melle

medium-paced

4.0

My husband put hockey on so it was only fitting that I read a hockey romance. The reviews weren’t the best for this one but I wanted to give it a try anyways and I’m glad I did! Harper meets Nico at a club and they have a hot and steamy moment in the club VIP lounge closet. Fast forward to Harper starting her new job as a photographer for a NHL team and guess who’s on the team? You guessed it, Nico. When I tell you he fell for this girl from the start I’m not kidding. I wasn’t expecting him to be so smitten with her and honestly I welcomed it. Even though the over use of him calling her “love” was a bit excessive. Harper is very standoff-ish with him because this job means everything to her and she knows she could lose it if she’s with Nico. There is a lot of sneaking around and some super steamy scenes. I loved the pacing of this book and the characters were fun. It’s a cute, steamy read!
