Was this a sweet story? Yes!

Did it pack an emotional punch a couple of times? Yes!

Was this my favorite hockey romance? No, but it is up there. 

I love the characters and their individual traits that the author did a good job of writing. You really feel for them and their cluelessness. Nate's anxiety and the way he overthinks was written well. I even liked how he was sometimes kind of clueless.

The story skips time a lot to move the story forward, which isn't something I generally like. It's done well, though. And the author is very wordy in some scenes and I found myself trying to skim. I love long novels, the longer the better honestly. Sometimes individual sections get to wordy though. But this is a personal preference and I'm sure others will absolutely appreciate it. 

Overall this is a wonderful gay hockey romance and I look forward to seeing what else the author writes in the future and checking out past novels.
