A low angst hockey romance with a gay superstar and a case of hero worship that is actually a bi-awakening.
This book was four stars for me in the first half, but really lost my interest and I skimmed most of the second half. I was all for the instalove and the adorable professions of love between the two MCs, but it became a little repetitive and a bit too sugary sweet for me to want to stay invested.
I also think this book had too many pages dedicated to describing the hockey games. It worked in the middle, but it became repetitive just like the romance aspects. I like when something outside of the MCs is used to drum up suspense and tension, but this was just boring. It really seemed liked filler to make the book longer.
I loved these two MCs and really enjoyed them in the beginning and the end.

"The imagery in this scene…it’s like I’m there.
“Over to the windows, where he slides one hand through his hair and fists the other in front of his mouth. I see his reflection blink quickly before his eyes close.�"

I didn’t wanna say it but it was too much hockey for me too. But I think someone who enjoys the game irl might enjoy this very much. I haven’t read TBs other sport romances but I think it’s a thing he does.

@Kati- Definitely too much hockey. Maybe if I knew more about the sport I would have enjoyed it, but I also don’t come to my romance novels expecting to need to be well-versed in a specific topic. 😂
I agree so much with what you said! The first half really had me invested and I thought it was going to be great, but the complete overkill of sappiness ruined it for me. I just ended up bored with it🫤 It definitely felt like wasted potential to me.. Amazing review! I’m sorry this one didn’t work for either of us!
damn it sucks how if was a four stars in the beginning and it just went down :/ i don’t mind too many homey descriptions luckily but i definitely understand how it becoming repetitive can flatter your enjoyment. at least it wasn’t a total miss!
@Imme- Overkill of sappiness is a good way of describing this book. I agree with you on that. Sorry it didn’t work for you either!
@elena- It’s always so frustrating when something starts strong, but you’re right…at least it wasn’t a total miss!
