Theo and Hayden have an entertaining relationship that stems from a rivalry where their mutual chemistry simmers and eventually boils over. I enjoyed this continuation of their relationship from the previous entry and enjoyed getting Theo's perspective. They have an amazing connection and I love getting more insight into their relationship and the many layers that it entails.

Overall this was an entertaining read that I fully enjoyed getting to revisit these characters. They are amazing together and I look forward to reading more from than in the future.

*** I reviewed a complimentary copy of this story.***

My cat is sick, so I needed a very basic read to get me out of my head.
I actually liked this novella better than the first. I thought it was better written and the characters had more depth. The author made better use of the small page length in this installment. I was surprised at how well I knew the background characters as well as the main characters by the end, despite not having read any of the other books in this series besides these two.
Nothing overly stood out to me though. It would have been a four star, but the phrase "kitten licks" in reference to a blow job actually made me want to unzip my skin suit and leave. So. 🧍‍♂️

Too short, so much potential here, the spice was decent (one of the best hate sex description in previous book which was like taster, really needed to be longer though, I think the author got skills but didn’t explore further which is shame), the boys need more storyline, more room to flesh out their characters which were very engaging given this short novella pacing.

This was more enjoyable than the previous instalment. The writing was much improved and the spice was hotttt

Dare I say this second half of the duology made me fall in love with this writer? It just felt so right—easy to sink into and impossible to put down. I loved how we got space to really breathe with the characters and spend more time in their world. Was I convinced they could be that quiet during the spicy scene without waking anyone up? Absolutely not. Did I care? Not even a little. Was the ending cheesy? For sure. Did I adore it anyway? 100%. I finished this wanting more, and that’s the best feeling.

This is the continuation of Hayden and Theo's story.. I loved it! It picks up at training camp and told from Theo's point of view.

Theo and Hayden are rivals on the ice but have insane chemistry. All of training camp they sneak around but can never really get quality time together.

Now that camp is coming to an end, will they be able to figure out a way to make this work being on different campuses?.

Love for His Rival

With a change in POV now we get to see what is going on with Theo at the helm. The rivalry between him and Hayden does not deter the heat they feel for each other. Steamy, entertaining and full of secret rendezvous that will have you enjoying this read.

think your book was nice to read. I loved the charaters. Theo and Hayden.
I liked the hate between each other, but also that Hayden gived Theo his jacket. Theo says he hates Hayden but takes his jacket and forgot later he stil had it on.

I would recommend this book to someone who likes romance with sport as Thema.

An improvement on its predecessor but still not enough to make me want to read the rest of these novellas.

Quite surface level and doesn’t really provide a foundation for knowing these characters better.

Lots of other characters talking but only glimpses of the MCs that makes the ending feel as if it comes out of nowhere.

[Tarneisha Chavis · Rating 5 out of 5]

A wonderful conclusion to the story of Hayden and Theo. They both open their eyes to the possibility of being with a guy and aren't afraid to show it. What started as hate turned to love. Hayden and Theo are absolutely made for one another. Sometimes all it takes is the right moment to find someone special.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. Theo and Hayden starts a relationship in secret. I really hope it can continue when they get home as it seems to be what both need.

[Jordan Fiest · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is continuing on from the previous book in the series. We got some nice spicy scenes for sure. I definitely liked the relationship development between the two. The struggle to accept and demand what you want and not be judged by others. Very sexy and steamy read.

Enemies No More

This is the continuation of the action started in Bitter Pucking Rivals. You must read that book first. Hayden and Theo's feelings for each other grow, in spite of difficulties and interuptions getting together. This is a fast read with an unexpected ending.

super cute!

Problem pucking solved is super cute and super spicy. I loved Theo and Hayden. I wish the author had written one more chapter or a little more in the last chapter so we got the team’s reactions to these two finally coming out.

Rivals

good but short

I liked this and the book before this one that was Theo and Hayden but they’re both very very short. I really wanted to read more about them and watch the relationship develop more

[Laura · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a fun little read!

I love the rivals to lovers vibes even though the story sort of jumps in at the end of the rivals part.

The characters are really cute and adorable!

Overall this is perfect for a lighthearted little read, especially if you’re a fan of hockey romances.

We left Theo and Hayden in the locker room showers surprising themselves as much as us when 'Bitter Pucking Rivals' ended. In that novella we first met these rival hockey players and their animosity towards one another was clear but there was a hint of something more lurking below the surface ... that is the something that became clear by the end of the story.

Now we are back with them, on their week long training camp. A challenging camp not least because the coaches have decided not only to mix all the rival teams up for their training games but have also decided to mix up the dorms. This means Theo and Hayden have to share a dorm, and as fate (or is it some other mischief) would have it their bunks are right next to one another. This means Theo is finding sleep impossible yet when it comes - all too briefly - it is welcome. That is until he wakes to see Hayden gone. A little exploration finds them both in the freezing cold, watching the night sky and Hayden giving Theo his hoodie. An action Theo likes perhaps a little too much but one that begins to thaw the animosity.

Will Theo and Hayden find common ground, learn how much they mean to each other and realise they have been masking their truths with their arguing? Is it possible to be rivals on the ice but learn to be team players. Is it possible to be rivals on the ice but something much more meaningful on the ice? Will they work it all time? They only have a week and when that week comes to an end will they admit the beautiful truth not only to themselves but to their teams?

A fast-paced hockey romance. There is plenty of hockey action which I am loving as I learn more about the sport. Lina George manages to make us feel as we are though watching, desperate for our boys to win, her writing is immersive and not only on the rink are we rooting for them... Prepare to have your hockey knowledge improved and your heart warmed.
