I was so excited going into this because I LOVE arranged marriage and hockey romance, and I love to see these tropes put together. However, it was also enemies to lovers, and when they were enemies, THEY WERE ENEMIES.
Volkov and Georgia went beyond gentle teasing and banter at the beginning and it honestly really bothered me. Neither was kind to each other at all.
Eventually, of course, they realized their reasons for hating each other were incorrect and fell in love and were SO SWEET and SO CUTE, and I loved to see Alexei’s character growth and journey of meaning. I just wish they had better communication at the beginning and as they switched to falling in love
