Clipped by Love by Toni Aleo

5.0

I absolutely LOVED this book! Jayden and Baylor are amazing! From the beginning the chemistry is undeniable, though Baylor tries to deny it. She locks her heart up, surrounding it with a glass wall, afraid to love and be loved. Sure there are moments that happened in her life to make her think the way she does, but she slowly learns to let love in when Jayden comes along. And it all starts with the game they love...hockey. Two driven individuals, who love hockey, no not only love, but it's their life, it's in their blood.

When Jayden and Baylor meet, they know that there is something special and different about the other. Hockey becomes the thing that originally brings them together and turns their their prickly relationship into something beautiful.

While Jayden knows Baylor is different from the beginning and wants her, even loved her from the first moment, it's a little harder than that for Baylor. Baylor wants to feel something, wants to let Jayden in, but she has trouble losing control. She wants to play hockey and be the first girl to make it into the NHL, she wants to make her dad proud, but she also wants to let Jayden in. But her fear keeps her from fully falling.

But Jayden doesn't give up that easily, and Baylor doesn't back down from a 'challenge'. Their love isn't easy, it's rocky, it's messy, it has its ups and downs, but like what Jayden says about Baylor, it's a 'beautiful disaster'. They learn to make things work, Baylor learns to love herself and let love in, both from Jayden and the teammates she learns to call family. And together they fight for each other and their dreams with the strong support and love from each other.

This book is truly amazing, and these character will move you. They will make you feel every emotion and make you believe in love and your dreams. A fantastic and huge five stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
