The Penalty Shot by Maren Moore

3.5

This might be one of my favourites in the whole series because there is no third-act breakup.

Honestly, this was such a cute single mom x professional hockey player book; Auden was a sweetheart, always putting her son first and I was just so excited to see her live her life for herself finally. As for Asher, he was so understanding and always there to support her and I adore him for that. Alex was the sweetest boy ever and what was happening to him for the duration of the book broke my heart, kids are menaces. But I was so happy when Asher and the boys helped him! I hated Auden's parents with all my heart; they both made me pissed every time they appeared or were mentioned but I was so glad to see her finally stand up for herself.

If you like a short no third act breakup hockey romance, then this is for you (there isn't much hockey in this book but there were references)!
