4.0

This was my first Anne Kemp book, and my introduction to Sweetkiss Creek. And I'm so glad I gave this small town and such sweet story a go! 
This book tells the story about a grumpy hockey player that after a bit of a fight was suspended and it's mending his career with the help of his agent and best friend. 
Riley is sassy and fierce, and knows what she wants and what to do to get it. She just was not expecting to be so atracted to Jake. 
Their "meet-cute" was really something and, from that moment on their banter and kind of insta-love developed. 
We could see that Jake was not grumpy at all, and was such a marshmallow, with a really gooye center. 
I'm definitely going to dive into the other books in this series!
