Review by Twinsie Angie
I was given this book by the author for an honest review.
I saw this book was offered by the author in a reader event group I was attending. I love a good hockey romance and jumped to read it. I fully admit I don’t know much about the game but enjoy them the most with sports romance books.
I thought the story and flow was an easy read. I sat and was halfway through the book one afternoon. It was a nice feel-good story even with the heavy topic of stalking. I would not qualify this book as dark since the stalker storyline was pretty small.
Sasha is the new girl with the company. She is very capable and independent. However, she would love to find a “love of the lifetime” love. She is a very confident woman, and I enjoyed her fire and sass. She really didn’t take anything but also treated everyone like they were the most important person in the room.
Connor is all hockey all day long. His life is hockey, and he has zero time for romance or romantic entanglement. However, he seems to be attracted to Sasha but then sticks his foot in his mouth every single time he is around her.
I enjoyed the story but found there was a lot of push and pull in the beginning of the story which started to feel like filler….drama for drama sake. I did enjoy it when the two stopped pushing and finally admitted feelings.
The stalker plot was pretty minimal and then slowly increased as the plot thickened. When it was revealed, I thought the scene was well played out and enjoyed the resolution. It was a great twist of who he was.
I was invested in the cast of characters in the series. I am interested in reading Cash and Evie. They seem like oil and water so this will be a great read.
Mary Warren lives in Illinois with her family. When she’s not writing stories of fat women, she’s reading them and advocating for better fat representation. Mary founded Fat Girls in Fiction, pointing out positive fat representation for femmes and non-binary people in books. This project became a community and is something she is immensely proud of and happy to be working on.
