Sven: A Hockey Romance by Mary Warren is the fourth book in the Glendale Magic series. I have been following this series from the beginning, and each book is just as good as the next! I am normally not a fan of surprise pregnancies, but this book caught me off guard because of how much I loved it!

Sven is the Hockey boyfriend of your dreams. He is sweet, patient, supportive of your dreams, and a reformed playboy who doesn't deny his past! I loved Sven immediately taking responsibility for his child and being a fantastic father, one he could be proud of (unlike his father). While struggling with her public image and messed up way, Natalie was fired from her teaching job. As a couple, they were everything I was hoping for; I love that we were both secretly falling for the other just by how they treated one another before anything was said.

This quote had me swooning!
"I'm going to make you so fucking happy."
"You already have."

I love that the book highlights book banning in schools and themes of found family, allowing yourself to be angry, standing up for yourself, and NO third-act break up! Overall, this book was incredible. Mary Warren gave us another fantastic big girl in the book, and we loved it!
