"His mouth back on mine is like drinking water after a marathon.  So necessary, so needed, so fucking good." 💙

🌶️ Spicy hockey romance with a side of grumpy x sunshine, sign me right up!  This was a fun read and I very much enjoy a book with no third act break up and a HEA!! 🏒

I really enjoyed the semi slow burn of Pippa and Jamie's relationship. Obviously it was clear it was going to happen eventually, so it was an enjoyable read watching them get there.  The relationship Jamie has with his mum is so nice to read too and his love of Daisy 🐶 was just perfect to see his softer side break through the prickly exterior 😍

I enjoyed what seems to be the build up for the romance in the next book to and I can't wait to start that one now.  The side character ls in the book were great too and I look forward to hopefully seeing Hazel and Rory's story play out next 💜
