Her Greatest Mistake by Hannah Cowan
4.0
**Spoilers!! ** This book was amazing and would have been one of my favorite hockey romances EVER except for the choking. Ugh, WHY?!? You mean to tell me that a VIRGIN guy that holds this woman to such high esteem as has waited his entire life for her gets his chance and instantly wants to choke her the first time they have sex?!? No. It’s stupid, and completely unnecessary.
It ruined the book for me. Everything else was perfect. The cast was well thought out, the acting was impeccable, the plot was great. The choking was gross. There’s ways to add spice without that.
Just as a heads up, over 40% of girl ages 14-17 are now experiencing choking during sex. (From the book: “Yes, Your Kid.” By one of the top sexual researchers in the US.) How you presented it in the book isn’t an ok way for someone to experience that in real life. Set healthier standards and expectations. Or perhaps leave it out altogether. I have friends who own a romance bookstore and middle school girls come in asking for hockey romance books like this all the time.
