Probably my own fault for not thoroughly reading the warnings… I did however read the Finnish dictionary pages and this was a major spoiler for how the book was going to play out - I suggest these go at the end of the book instead.

For me, this book had the premise to be a great hockey romance which could stand out from the rest by covering a less commonly written about lifestyle. However for me, the smut was just too much & it was at the detriment of the storyline. I also felt like the Jake I was reading about was a totally different character to the one I met in the prequel.

I found it incredibly frustrating we only heard about Rachel’s good deeds right at the very end of the book!! This would have given her so much more depth.. to be honest I found her to be a bit one dimensional.

So much promise but this was too much smut & too little storyline for me! If you are to read it, please carefully read all the warnings!!
