I am so in love with Nick & Bexley's story! They were truly so perfect for each other in every way possible. Bexley brought out Nick's confidence while Nick allowed Bexley to be fully herself with *and* without hockey in the mix. Lesser men were intimidated by Bexley's career but Nick did everything he possibly could to support her & lift her even higher. 

You won't believe my excitement when I got to the "let's help each other date" proposal. I eat that up every single time! Because you KNOW it's never just learning. I was giggling, kicking my feet every time they had a talk with themselves about their crush & how they're just "helping" each other. 

I've read half of Emily Silver's backlist so far, and this book is for sure in my top 5 favorites! 

Features: 
- 10+ year age gap 
- She's older
- Team GM x starting goalie
- "helping" each other date
- Secret forbidden relationship
- No third act breakup

Thank you to Emily Silver for sending me an early copy!
