Paige and Colt definitely had their issues from the very beginning of the book. They grew up as childhood sweethearts and knew from a young age that they were meant to be.  What they didn't anticipate were the struggles they would deal with along the way. 

Kolt came from a home that dealt with domestic abuse but he was able to move away from the situation. He was a very talented hockey 🏒 player and was drafted to the NFL. Although he had the fame he didn't know how to deal with the harder things in life. He struggled to deal with those and I'm turn pushed his wife away. 

I struggled to really like this character in the least. The way he treated his wife before she left and even after she came back. I feel as if he never really even apologized or groveled enough for the way he acted. I honestly expected him to be a little softer in the bedroom considering he came from a domestic abuse situation growing up. I just felt like he was a bit too rough. 

Paige was a character that I really started to feel for as the story unfolded. The further the story unfolded I felt as if she hadn't truly dealt with her issues. I truly felt for her because it really takes a strong woman to restart her life all over again from the ground up. 

I also felt like Paige hadn't truly seen Kolt for who he was and how he treated her. Yes she got tired of how he treated her so she left, but she went right back to him as soon as she had the chance. She never truly dealt with what happened or what happened within their marriage. 

Both of these characters had a huge communication issue. Neither one of them wanted to talk to each other about what was going on until it was almost too little too late. I felt as if it was a hail Mary pass at that point. Even at that point Paige didn't even want to really talk about it. She tried to take responsibility for everything so that she could just be done with the conversation.  I also felt at times that sex was more important to her than the conversation that needed to be had between her and Kolt. 

By the time we go to the end of the book I felt like we had finally gotten the comraderie with Kolt's teammates. I had been looking for that in the beginning of the book for him to look for his friendships or to his brother for help with everything that was going on.

These two were feral animals in the bedroom and other places 😉. 

They definitely weren't shy about where they were intimate and what they did in those places. 

This couple were huge fans of "spitting" on that thang (hawk that style 🤣). It didn't matter to them, they found this the sexiest of way to keep it wet. 

In the end I think this book was okay, I felt as if this could have used more hockey play within the book. When I'm reading a book about a hockey player I really look forward to the hockey scenes to go along with the rest of the book. I feel like this could have used a couple more sprinkled in somewhere.
