I don't fully understand the hype behind this book. It was just an alright read for me.

It felt very long, when it didn't really need to be. I really liked the main characters and how they interact with each other. Zanders encouraging and loving Stevie as she is and Stevie protecting herself, but the both of them inevitably ending up together was really cute to read.

I also really enjoyed the addition of the dog rescue. Such an adorable little touch for the story and adding more dimension to the characters.

Unfortunately, I feel as if this book should not be considered a hockey romance. There is hardly any hockey content in this book! It's really just a romance. Sure, the MMC is a hockey player, but that doesn't make it a hockey romance.

Overall, it was okay. I wouldn't read it again, though. :(

Guide to my ratings:
5 stars: flawless, hard to put down
4 stars: it was really good and memorable
3 stars: it was good/okay
2 stars: none or not many redeeming qualities and somewhat forgettable
1 star: horrible, had no idea what was going on, boring!!!
