I absolutely adored Watt and Jasper. The way they bantered and teased each other, challenged each other  and the constant bets being made. They have a history dating back to their teenage years but didn’t reconnect until 20 years later. That history left some very complicated feelings between them leading to some minor misunderstandings and frustrations in the here and now. Their rivalry from the past is known by the all the town residents and Watt and Jasper have no inclination to stop it. As these two wonderful men start to build a new foundation to their friendship, based on more than teenage rivalry and misunderstandings, their feelings develop and go through stages until ultimately they accept their love for each other unconditionally and get their longed for HEA. 

I loved how they support and challenge each other to be the best versions of themselves and recognise each other’s strengths and weaknesses. Their love story had me invested from the very beginning and kept me engaged to the very end. An ending that left me with the biggest smile and happiest heart as I finished the final page. If you enjoy a small town romance with lots of baking, steamy and sweet moments, high school hockey coaching when the new coach can’t skate and knows nothing about hockey and a superb cast of secondary characters to keep things interesting then this book is for you.
