”Nick: Trash talking on the ice isn’t entirely new, if you could even call it that—he was basically making a list of nicknames that mocked me, but I doubt being called hottie could even be called an insult.

”He seems more confident now that we’ve made out a few times. His long fingers wrap around the base of my head, and he holds me firmly against him, and when I pull away, he chases after my lips and whines. God, I’m going to grow a complex about how this guy makes me feel so wanted.”

!! I don't equate fiction stories to real life. It's a matter of personal taste and what you are willing or want to tolerate in the books you read. We all have different opinions and preferences when it comes to the kind of books we enjoy, so it's important to respect and remember that it's just a book!!

Hope this review was helpful.
