y'all I loved this audiobook! it definitely has a spice-forward taste, but no complaints here!

I am slowly exploring indie-romance and I think this is where it's at. It's just like any category of anything, you have to find your fit, but I think I'm finding it!

I loved that our main girl is in therapy and we get a peak into those exchanges and how they impact her daily life.

He's a hot and scarred hockey player-turned coach.

There's a lot of backstory drama that's randomly complicated, but it's presented in such a way that you're just like "of course she was dumped via facetime at her wedding and her ex is now a professional hockey goalie on her dad's NFL team and now she accidentally had a one night stand with the man who will be working for her dad to coach the ex because he has the yipps and oh yeah she's breaking her years-long hockey ban to work in the organization again...." see? it sounds unnecessarily convoluted, but Avery Flynn writes the story with such flow that it's painless and exciting!

I laughed, I squeeled, and I kicked my legs!

It's a fun lil hockey romance if you're looking for a true smut book (spice = plot).

Thank you NetGalley & Valentine PR for an audiobook arc in exchange for an honest review.
