Thank you to Edelweiss for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I have been on a hockey romance binge for a while, so I was drawn to this book. Delilah Baker has a baking show on television, but her ratings are dropping. Her producers ask her to find a way to get more viewers. Delilah's brother is a professional hockey player for Boston, and his best friend is Ian Chase, the man that she has had a crush on since she was growing up. Ian's reputation is struggling, so his team (surprise, he also is a professional hockey player in Boston) sends Ian to be a part of Delilah's baking videos to improve his image. Now that Ian is back in town and divorced, she can tell him how she feels. Ian is keeping some secrets (who is this mysterious woman in his life) and grows closer to Delilah.

This book was way more steamy than I expected, so I changed my rating from a 3 to a 3.5. However, the soap opera drama between Ian's father and half-sister was just too distracting and cliché for me. Readers looking for a light contemporary hockey romance will enjoy this book.
