Great well paced sports romance with a unique opening! Hilarious scene when cocky hockey goaltender Dallas goes after the dude who slips the puck past him in a practice session with mostly nonprofessional hockey players. Turns out the dude isn't; it's one of his teammate's sister, Callie.
It's insta-attraction for playboy Dallas but Callie thinks he's just another "love 'em and leave 'em" kind of guy...which he is. She has a lot of reasons to believe that's all Dallas is...like her brother and cousin who are on the same hockey team as Dallas. Plus, having had to tend to Dallas's injuries sustained at a party when he was in a compromising position just a few days earlier didn't help his reputation with her.
Even as Dallas tries to show Callie he's changed and she's different from all the others, she's bent on "testing him". Some of it is sweet, in a "he can be a thoughtful guy with others" way (don't want to reveal a spoiler here) while some of what she asks him to do is completely outrageously embarrassing (bordering on humiliating). Not a fan of that...there goes one star...
However, once you get beyond that, Dallas's determination in showing Callie she's the one is sweet. Though their road isn't as smooth as ice (hahaha!), it's a very satisfying journey to follow!
Looking forward to Lacey and Maddox's story...
