I would like to thank GRR for the opportunity to read and review this ARC.
Ahhhh this was soooo good! J.J. Mulder had stolen my heart with her SCU Hockey series, and From Coast to Coast (Offsides Book 4) was yet another scrumptious and wholesome love story that had me wanting to drop everything for Remy and Gray's HEA!
Gray was just the most lovely, lock-it-down human, and Remy was effervescent Cali preciousness that stole my heart from Day 1 Calgary! Loved the cozy, sturdy feel of Gray's non-fkboi flex, which gave me the internal freedom to experience Remy's journey without feeling nervous for him. The sex was soooo fire and i was beyond happy that their relationship wasn't a long, drawn out, tension filled affair. Remy's mom was also a bit of a surprise iykyk, but i wish she wasn't ngl! I am a huge hockey fan, and after years upon years of reading the genre, it would be nice to read ones featuring more racially diverse MCs! Men from many races and different ethnic backgrounds play the game at the highest level, so the rep would be appreciated...because, yk, we here!
I also love it when found family, accumulated throughout a series, find their way to each other in an installment. Adding that full-of-feelings camaraderie and solidarity energy goes a long way towards making me feel like the MCs have real support no matter what kind of low vibe shit goes down. So the cameos from the couples featured in the first 3 books of this series had me crying for some ARC breathing space so i could just devour this whole series (among a few others) in one shot (or several) so i could ride this MM Hockey high through playoffs and beyond! #goals
So yesss, From Coast to Coast was wonderful and sweet and sexy and fun, and J.J. has proven yet again that she is an author i can trust to deliver a hockey romance that easily stands head and shoulders above the rest! Hope there's more to come because I hate that Z -and Gordon- are still in Calgary! I'm manifesting the garbage taking itself out! Can't wait to read it!
