Off-Ice Behavior by Hannah Henry

3.0

This book was better than I expected. I’m not someone who usually is into the fake dating trope but I ended up liking it. The pacing was okay, I wish I saw more of their relationship development. 

I definitely will be continuing the series and recommend this book to anyone who into sport romance and don’t like a lot of angst in books.

Out of all the books I have read in the series so far, this one had more depth. The Characters were flushed out and the relationship felt more organic and realistic. Definitely will recommend it.

On to reading Offensive Edge. I hope it’s as good as this book.

This and Draft bus were my favorite in the series. The story had a charming, easy-to-read quality, with a slow burn that surprisingly didn’t bother me at all. In fact, the gradual build-up between the characters added to the tension and made the second chance trope feel genuinely authentic. Rowan and Theo’s characters were particularly endearing, making this book a joy to read.

A fast read, way too fast paced. The romance was lackluster due to how fast paced it was.

Literally nothing really happened in this book. Took me months to finish it. 2 stars just because of the twist.

3.0

This book was enjoyable and fast-paced story that captures the reader's interest. However, some may find the pace too quick, leading to a lack of development in the relationship between the characters. It would have been beneficial for the author to dedicate more time to developing the characters and their relationship. Nonetheless, the book provides a fun and swift reading experience. It's worth mentioning that the book contains explicit content, making it a smutty read.
