"I'd rather lose everything else than lose her."

NHL bad boy falls for a girl just out of his reach, finally gets her, screws it up and does everything in his power to get her back. Sure, this is a formula we have all read before, but it's a classic for a reason. Kenna King's writing is engaging, her characters are relatable and lovable, and the greater world is well-developed. Pacing was great, and the miscommunication aspect was enough to keep you invested all the way through the story. Add in the angst and pining, and it is a hard one to put down. A must-read for those who enjoy a good Hockey Romance!
