Easton Blake’s only worry is hockey and making the NHL draft, he doesn’t have time for woman. Until he sees Maya Donnelly one day and want her. Only thing is Maya is his biggest rivals sister and has sworn off hockey players. She’s immune to his charms. But Easton can’t seem to stop thinking about her and will do anything to show her she should give him a chance.

This is a new to me author and call me a fan. This book was so enjoyable. I laughed and giggled through it all. Easton becomes such a sap for Maya. I love the cheesy and hot pick up lines and how he continually gets shot down. He knows that he has to keep trying because a girl like her only comes around once.

Mayas been burnt before and she refuses to let anyone do that again. But when Easton Blake keeps showing up and showing her there’s more to him than his reputation she’s powerless to say no. Her character was amazing and I love how they become friends that graduate to lovers. They have such a open and honest communication in their relationship. Easton doesn’t let Maya push him away. And NO THIRD ACT BREAK UP! We love a couple who talks. And Easton shows up for Maya and shows her she is what counts.

This found family trope is such a good one. I love this group of friends and the scenes they have between each other. I had such a good time reading this book!! Definitely recommend for a spicy hockey romance.

5/5 ⭐️
