This was so sweet! One of my favorite kinds of characters are the ones who are a little rough around the edges, a little snarky, and a little bit of an asshole but then sweet as can be to the ones they love and Oliver absolutely fit the bill. Oliver has a lot of frustration due to a hip injury that has made him unable to play hockey anymore. He's basically suffering from a broken heart and decides he wants to write a memoir about his pain and also come out. He hires Jordan who was recently laid off from his job as a beat reporter for a different hockey team. Jordan is one of the only reporters who had never written anything mean about Oliver which is why Oliver chooses him.

Throughout the book Jordan shows such patience and kindness toward Oliver, which is something Oliver hadn't gotten a lot of before. Oliver and Jordan were surprisingly good at communicating with one another. I only say it's surprising because I feel like miscommunication trope is overused in a lot of romance books so it was refreshing to see two characters who were very straightforward with their own emotions. Their scenes together were so sweet - their sex scenes were written with so much care and tenderness.

I definitely think this is my favorite book of the series so far!

Cannot wait for the next one!
