FIVE STARS ISN’T ENOUGH! INFINITY STARS TO THIS HOCKEY ROMANCE!!!! 😍

Dallas motherfucking Shaw! The man you are! Big beefcake playboy who thinks he’s got it all figured out only to be taken down by the older, blonde, little bit emotionally broken girl he has a one-night stand with??! THE YEARNING FROM THIS MAN! This Texas boy fell HARD and FAST!

But who can blame him!? I fell hard and fast for Emily Cole too! God, I related to her so much and yet also sat with the fact that I’m lucky I’ve never had to deal with some of her fears. I wanted to hug her, drink wine and gossip with her, kiss her, and hug her again. I adored how multi-layered she was — successful, passionate, headstrong, vulnerable, emotionally/mentally torn down but still putting one foot in front of the other, sweet & loyal. Dallas was right when he said she was perfection (flaws and scars included).

This is absolutely a MUST READ! Especially if you love hockey romances, a former playboy who falls first, age gap where fmc is older (35/26), emotional connection, hot af physical chemistry, down bad mmc who makes it his mission to show his girl how sexy she is and how loved she is.

There was humor, heartache, heartwarming confessions of love, tension from sneaking around (stupid no fraternization clauses!), dirty talk that would drop a nun to her knees, pining and yearning to a degree that made me swoon and kick my feet giggling, chemistry so hot the mmc couldn’t help but finish in his pants😏, and the most beautiful love story with the most wonderful HEA!

Gahhh I just loved it so much & need everyone to read so I can gush about these two with others😭😍

Thank you to the author and TheAuthorAgency for the e-ARC! Review is my honest opinion.
