This one had a rocky start for me. I really thought Cooper was a bit of a douche for the first half of the book. Bro… why are you so damn cocky?! But, by the end I was like “lock him down, girlllll” so who knows.
The “list” aspect of this one was different and I did enjoy that. Especially the farther down the list we got… 🥵
The way the dialogue was written for spicy scenes wasn’t my favorite… something about it felt a little off, not necessarily the word choices but the overuse maybe? But the spice was good otherwise. This book is definitely more about s*x than romance but hey, that’s not necessarily a bad thing.
And the character development and growth was REAL good. Definitely not mad about where we ended up with Cooper and Penny.
And that hug from the coach when he was sad? Ugh, my heart!
If I could rate it only on the last half, it’d be a solid 4.5 stars but the first half is closer to 3.5 so guess what? We’re going in the middle!
Tropes:
Coaches Daughter
Hockey Romance
Spice: 3.5 🌶️
