Match Penalty by Kenna King
4.0

Im a fantasy reader through and through but every once in awhile I need a reset from world building. When this happens my go to genre is typically sports romance or romantic comedy. I know! Complete opposite of my normal genre preference!

Well I just finished an ARC of Match Penalty by Kenna King and its oh so good! This spicy, second-chance hockey romance had me hooked from the first chapter. Jon Paul Dumont is the kind of messy, brooding athlete you can't help but root for!

This is the debut book in The Rookie Hawkeyes and a spin off of Hawkeyes Hockey series. While this is a standalone and you do not need to read the previous series, I do feel like it would be helpful as the characters reference things that happened in the past with other couples which left me at times feeling like I was missing something.

If you love:
• Second Chance Romance – They have a history, and it’s complicated.
• Workplace Romance /Forbidden Love 
• Team Dynamics 
• Hockey Romance
• Past Trauma / Emotional Healing
