🌶️: 3/5
I really really enjoyed reading this book. Liz Paffel really captures the chaos of being a small business owner, whilst simultaneously showing the chaos and stubbornness of falling in love. The character building was great, I loved the plot almost as much as them and the spice was amazing - very much a spicy read!
However, it did feel at points rushed and I wish the book was longer for those reasons to really flesh out some of the history more, flesh out how they get to the end more and had Allie chasing Dax a little bit more. Though that’s not really the be all end all, I like the book as it is and very much enjoyed the love of Allie and Dax.
Overall it was ok, enjoyable frustratingly hilarious moments, face palming for the bad decisions made by the characters and a very fluffy spicy romantic feel. I would definitely recommend this as a read for something fast paced.

“My greatest plot twist was you.”
The saddest hockey romance in the world? It might just be. It’s unusual for me to be this devastated by a book.
I love hockey romances, and this one is so divine, the writing gripped me from the start and Hayes had me in a chokehold. I really am at a loss for words on this book, the plot twist at the end I don’t think I’ll ever get over. Thanks for that Remi.
This book genuinely has all the emotions, and the fact I was sat here feeling it all, so deeply, is a testament to the writing of Remi Rose, and her ability to write such believable emotions. I felt them as I was reading through the entire book, and for me that measures its success and its impact on the reader.
What a book, what an author and what incredible characters. Already stoked for book 2!

🌶️ rating: 2.5/3 out if 5
**Potential spoilers ahead**
Hockey romances are my jam and this one I very much enjoyed. Author Mary Warren creates a very realistic world view of what being in hockey is like, as well as, the realities of how reporting to the police is for people, especially women and influencers.
One of the things I loved most was you have a confident sexy plus size MC Sasha Maloof and she owned it, this was perfection for the vibe of the book. In contrast, I loved how Conner was so enamoured by Sasha, that he just kept digging holes without meaning to - highly entertaining and had me cackling! We also dig a protective king and him and Cash came through for Sasha.
Getting to the darker end of the spectrum, the stalking was written so well, the tension was built well. My heart was racing during those bits, honestly and Mary captured that brilliantly in a careful and concise way. I was also shocked at who it ended up being, not who I expected at all!
If I had anything to say, I wish it was longer and I wish we got a meeting the family moment, but that’s just personal preference.
I have to admit I was shocked at how emotional I got, feeling grief for Sasha, and as a woman, understanding how violating that all must have felt. Something I truly loved about how Sasha was written is, she’s a confident girl, owns her sexuality and allows herself to be in her vulnerability the balance was perfection and I think that’s what makes Sasha a relatable character to me. I got so angry with the police interactions, but they were so real I’ve heard them say things like this - that’s wild!
So to sum up Conner it’s fluffy, it’s sexy, it’s funny, it’s sad, emotional but wow I loved every second of it and would read it again!
