“Change on the fly. You don’t stop, you change what you have to and finish out the game.”

As my first book from this author, I had a good time reading this fast paced, best friend’s brother, hockey romance! 

Essentially we follow Reed, a professional hockey player as he gains sole guardianship over his nephew after a tragic incident with his half sister. Not knowing how to raise a toddler, Reed enlists the help of Holland, his sister’s best friend. The forced proximity aspect allows the two to grow close and we see their relationship go from 0-100, or rather bloom, from there. 

I wish we got to see more of the hockey aspect in here, but MM does give us a little sprinkle. It’s definitely a bit insta lovey/lusty, but I didn’t mind too much in this case. 

I wasn’t expecting to get misty eyed, but there were some scenes that had me patting the tears away and I always love a good emo moment while reading. 

Overall, this was an enjoyable and quick read! I hope to continue this series soon.
