A review by kacenreads
The Penalty Shot by Maren Moore

2.0

2.5 ⭐️

It was a good book. I enjoyed the concept.

Single mom
Forced proximity/roommates
Hockey romance - but there is literally zero hockey until the last 2 minutes of the book.

I liked Asher. He fell first. Was instantly attracted to his next door neighbor Auden. He wanted more right away but went at Auden’s pace. A gentleman and was amazing with Auden’s son.

I did not like Auden so much. I understand she had to go thru character development from having shitty parents but she kept going back and forth. I needed her to be stronger and she didn’t get there. I couldn’t connect with her.
