This is book 3 in the Love & Hockey series, it’s a fun, swoony, sports romance which will leave you delightfully sedated in happyland. The story is told in dual pov and follows the MCs Maeve and Asher. These two had sweet and steamy chemistry! Their friendship and gradual relationship development was cuter and Asher’s secret pinning for Maeve made him even more loveable. 

I listened to the audiobook which was duet narrated by Vanessa Edwin and Robert Hatchet.  These two added an additional layer of joy and entertainment. This book was a good time. It was fun, tender, and an overall feel good kinda read. This book was filled with great laughs and heart smile moments. I was invested from the first line and chapter. I mean when you start a book with “Does this clutch look like a d**k”? How can one not be interested??😜Luckily, the rest of that book was just as entertaining. 

Themes & Tropes:

💜Brothers Best Friend

❤️Friends to Lovers

🤍Marriage of Convenience

💜Marriage Pact

❤️Unrequited Love

🤍Forced Proximity, 

💜My Wife

❤️Professional Hockey

Overall, liked this read!  Highly recommend reading the other books in the series if you haven’t tried them. This is an easy, must read for my hockey romance lovers. Can’t wait for book 4!
