Scoring with Love #1
Shot to the Hart
One day, Kodi Roscoe was living with the man she thought would be her husband. The next she was single, living on her bestfriends couch working as a barista, and making friends with a toddler on the ice cream aisle. That is until she sees an ad for a high profile client in need of a nanny.
Maverick Hart, center for the Tampa Bay Manta Rays, didn’t want to hire a nanny but being a single dad with the start of the season coming up and losing his daughter in the ice cream aisle forces him to reconsider.
When the strikingly beautiful woman who his daughter ran into shows up at his doorstep for an interview, it feels like a kismet experience. She’s just supposed to be the nanny but one shot to his Hart and it was game over.

This is an amazing feel good hockey x single dad x nanny romance. Kodi Roscoe James is such a relatable character, and Mav is to die for. The story kicks off when Bella, Mavs kiddo literally runs into Kodi in a store, and I think that is the most perfect meet cute for this type of story. There were so many precious moments between them all that I adored, (choccy chip pancakes anyone?)and really made their relationship blossom into more in a believable way.
(Oh, and there's spice! 😏😏🌶️)
The side characters all felt real, not just placeholders for their own stories which is important to me. I don't normally read interconnected standalones because I tend to like the original couple the best and get bored, but I'm already invested in the sequels and their stories.
I look forward to this upcoming author's future works!

if you love these tropes:
single dad x nanny
hockey romance
forced proximity
HE FALLS FIRST
i am begging you..READ THIS <3
i LOVED maverick and his daughter bella so much and kodi is the best person for those two. you can tell how well she fits in the family and i loved her sassiness. mav is the perfect dad to bella and he loves her so much, but i also love how much his teammates love the both of them. always willing to help and bella has the best role models. kodi and i could definitely be besties. i noticied so many things we have in common and she loves pop punk!!! character backstory and the plot was chef's kiss. spice was SPICY, don't even get me started on the one bed okay!
i laughed so much while reading this and there is definitely someone that deserves a deck in the face but you'll have to read it to find out! i found myself kicking my feet, giggling, and also wanting to scream/cry/throw up!
HAPPY RELEASE DAY to Shot to the Hart!!! it's available on KU, and you should totally read it <3

This book was so cute! Every now and then I’ll read a hockey romance and I love it every time. This one is hockey player x single dad x nanny! This book hit me a little hard in the beginning with the breakup stuff and I didn’t expect to get affected by it but it was such a real story. Maverick on the other hand is such a humble and adorable man. The cutest father to Bella. The relationship the hockey team has with Bella is soo cute. I love that she has a family with them even if her mother isn’t around. Even though Bella has such a cute family, he ends up needing help taking care of her so he goes looking for a nanny. That is where kodi comes in. Their little meet cute was natural and perfect for the story. Reading this book, I kept saying kodi is so me. lol the banter and her style is perfect. I loved the “one question” and “one answer” convos. The inner monologues of their feelings toward each other were funny and spicy. They struggled for a while to act on their feelings and the tension was everything. I love me a good fxck it moment! I didn’t expect Mav to have a dirty mouth like that but sheesh I wasn’t complaining. The spicy parts were delicious. As a family, they are super cute together. I think they got the best ending they could have. I hope there’s another book coming whether it’s more of them or tatum’s story with snippets of mav and kodi. I would love a book about Nik! He’s hilarious and would love to see his character development. This book is just a cute and a bit spicy hockey romance. Loved it!
Favorite quotes:
“If you tell me the truth, you'll be rewarded like the good girl I know you can be. Brats don’t get rewarded.”
“I’m not going to give up.” “Well you should, you gave up then. You can give up now.”
”When we get home, the jersey stays on and everything else comes off.”
“I didn’t think I would ever get this, and I’m so glad I get it with you Ko. I love you.”
“I want him to let go, claim me, fxck me the way I know he wants to. I sink all the way down onto him, leaning into his ear, and whisper, “Take over, Mav. I can feel how badly you want to take control. Do what you want with me, I’m yours.”
“I don’t care that she doesn’t want me. I have everything I need in a woman right here. I don’t need anyone else, Darlin’. I need you. I need that hair fanned out over my pillow while you snore. I need your nervous rambles. I need you caring for Bella. I need chocolate chip pancakes. I need Big Bang Theory and your head on my shoulder.”
“How can I take my future wife tonight?” he asks as he nips at the sensitive spot beneath my ear. His hand trailing my body as he continues, “Should I fxck your throat while your head dangles off the edge? Should I take your axx bent over the balcony? Or, I could take your pretty little puxxy with that toy I know you packed, while my cxck is buried deep inside your axx?”
“You’re a brat, you know that?” “But, I’m your brat.”

I got the pleasure of reading Shot to the Hart by @Katelyn 📚✍🏻 Shot to the Hart is a sports romance with a single dad x nanny trope..
This book made me feel every emotion and I loved our MC’s Maverick, Kodi and little Bella. The authors writing is beautiful ❤️ while we have friends, found family, banter and love there is also sadness throughout the book through loss, grief, finding yourself again and the struggles of being a single father.
I absolutely adored this book and would definitely recommend it to all sports romance fans..
I rated this book 4.5/5 ⭐️with 3/5 spice🌶️
Blurb: One day, Kodi Roscoe was living with the man she thought would be her husband. The next she was single, living on her bestfriends couch working as a barista, and making friends with a toddler on the ice cream aisle. That is until she sees an ad for a high profile client in need of a nanny.
Maverick Hart, center for the Tampa Bay Manta Rays, didn’t want to hire a nanny but being a single dad with the start of the season coming up and losing his daughter in the ice cream aisle forces him to reconsider.
When the strikingly beautiful woman who his daughter ran into shows up at his doorstep for an interview, it feels like a kismet experience. She’s just supposed to be the nanny but one shot to his Hart and it was game over.

single dad? hockey? nanny? HE FALLS FIRST???
i don't even know where to begin on how much i loved maverick & kodi's story <3
shot to the hart is about a single dad maverick who plays hockey, and he needs to find a nanny to help care for his daughter, bella. when the woman who finds his daughter in the ice cream aisle one day shows up for an interview, he knows it was meant to be.
he gets her 'lady products', calls them 'my girls' and there's just so much more feet kickin' hair twilin' and giggling that happens throughout kodi & maverick's story
ugh and don't even get me started on the songs on the playlist <3
DANDELIONS IS LITERALLY ONE OF THE MOST ADORABLE AND CUTESY ROMANTIC SONGS AND I FULLY FELT THIS BOOK WAS THAT
i cannot tell you how many times i was squealing and blushing and just screaming from how cute they are <3
my favorite tropes: dual pov, he falls first, nanny, single dad, HOCKEY, found family, FORCED PROXIMITY

Shot To The Hart is a fun and spicy hockey romance with single dad Maverick and nanny Kodi. They meet accidentally once and both wish they would have connected more. Then she shows up to interview to be a nanny for his daughter. Of course sparks fly but they both try to hide from them.
Both had amazing found families with best friends. I loved all the side characters so much. Kodi and Maverick were well written as well.

This was a cute read about a single father, professional hockey player who needs a nanny for his daughter. They live together, she's great with his daughter and there is an instant attraction between the two. This is not a new story line, if you're into hockey reads, you've probably read this before. So although it wasn't unique, it was a fun read with some hotness, cuteness and HEA. 3.5 to 4 stars from me.

‘What are you doing,baby? These hips are only supposed to be dancing on me. Now say goodbye to your friends, I’d like to take you home’
Maverick ❤️ Kodi
‘One Question. One answer’
These two are super cute!! Just when she thought she was down on her luck, a toddler crashes into her, changing her world forever. Mav is the cinnamon roll of all cinnamon rolls with a gorgeous possessive streak over his new nanny.
It’s a quick and cute read and I just inhaled the words in a day.
This book is the perfect palette cleanser if you’re in a reading funk. I could read this every week and never get bored

I thought that this was an absolutely adorable hockey romance! A small amount of spice and a cute meet cute. 😂 I recommend if you want a sweet short hockey romance book. You don’t have to know anything about the sport but you can def learn a little bit about it. Maverick is the sweetest dad ever and an absolute cinnamon roll. Koda is a sweety and I’m happy she gets her happily ever after.

Absolutely blown away with this debut hockey romance! The characters are SO good! I loved Maverick and his daughter Bella so, so much! I loved how amazing of a dad he is and how well he takes care of her and puts her first! Kodi was adorable as well! I loved her personality and thought she was so fun! She was such a great au pair for little Bella and I loved that from their first run in (literally) I could tell she would be amazing! 💖 I loved Mav and Kodi’s chemistry and that even though they tried to deny their feelings, it was no use! They are made for each other and it shows! 😍 overall, a perfect book to get you out of a slump that will have you laughing and giddy throughout!

This was a cute read and it had so much potential.
I personally thought it was choppy a times like transition scenes etc.
As much as I love a good trope, I do feel like we were just throwing them all in which I know people love but not didn’t do it for me.
But it was cute overall!

Who doesn’t move a hockey player/nanny romance trope? Mav and Kodi instantly click thanks to little Bella’s runaway matchmaker skills! This book had me laughing, tearing up and giggling all over the place! The side characters were a hoot too!! I hope we get to know them in future books! The spice is a bit of a slow burn but let me tell you when it arrives…wowza! Mav is such a perfect book boyfriend/daddy!

ARC kindly provided for the author in exchange for an honest review
Another new author that I'm in love with and another debut that's going to my favorites list! Katelyn Snyder captivated me from the prologue, that left me with mixed feelings for a certain character, gave me a love story that progresses at a perfect pace and one of the sweetest and most beautiful couples with Kodi, Maverick and little Bella. Also, I love that in this book both main characters have their respective group of friends and they all get along so well when they're together!
The book starts by showing us Kodi's breakup with her boyfriend, a situation that left me with many doubts about this despicable character that were cleared up very soon, and that helps us to know the moment in which our heroine's crisis began. Kodi is a girl who loves children and her job as a nanny, and after the fiasco with Andy she starts to feel insufficient, insecure about her personality and throughout the book she starts to realize many things about that relationship (something that I loved). Another super positive thing about her character is the circle of friends who are ALWAYS there for her and with whom the author gives us the funniest moments too.
Maverick is a professional hockey player and single father who recently suffered a loss that destabilized his life. Mav is a true book boyfriend: kind, attentive, has the most beautiful and considerate details for Kodi and knows how to listen to what she needs, but he's also very afraid of letting anyone into his life, and little Bella's, so his path throughout the book is not going to be easy at all. Luckily, Maverick also has the support of his dad and his teammates when he needs it the most (those moments of the boys taking care of Bella were really sweet).
Kodi & Maverick (and Bella too) meet when the little girl accidentally runs into Kodi in the ice cream aisle while they're both shopping for groceries, it doesn't seem like the most romantic first encounter in the history of romance, BUT believe me when I tell you that it is! One of my favorite things about this story was that Maverick can't stop thinking about Kodi from that moment on and how fate brings them together in the most unexpected way for both of them: with Kodi becoming Bella's new nanny, which forces both MCs to spend more and more time together, and thanks to which Katelyn gives us the most ordinary and tender moments between them. I also really enjoyed reading Kodi & Bella forming a bond in a natural way, Mav paying attention to every detail about Kodi and always giving her the when she needs it, I LOVED that they both learned to trust again with each other's help and the beautiful ending that the author gave us!
Without a doubt, Katelyn is a new author that I don't plan on letting go of! This world that she presents to us in her first book promises a lot, and if this is the quality that she gave us in her first book, I can't even imagine what's coming for her (and for us as readers).

ARC amablemente proporcionada por la autora a cambio de una reseña honesta
Otra autora nueva que me enamora y otro debut que va a la lista de mis favoritos! Katelyn Snyder me cautivo desde el prologo que me dejó con sentimientos encontrados por cierto personaje, me dio una historia de amor que avanza a un ritmo perfecto y a una de las parejas más dulces y hermosas con Kodi, Maverick y la pequeña Bella. Además, me encanta que en este libro ambos personajes principales tengan su respectivo grupo de amigos y todos se lleven tan bien cuando están juntos, a los cuales me estoy muriendo por leer!
El libro empieza mostrándonos el rompimiento de Kodi con su novio, una situación que me dejó muchas dudas sobre este despreciable personaje que fueron despejadas muy pronto, y que nos sirve para conocer el momento en el que empezó la crisis de nuestra heroína. Kodi es una chica que ama a los niños y su trabajo como niñera, y que después del fiasco con Andy comienza a sentirse insuficiente, insegura sobre su personalidad y que a lo largo del libro empieza a darse cuenta de muchas cosas sobre su relación con él (algo que me encantó). Otra cosa súper positiva de su personaje es el circulo de amigas que SIEMPRE están ahí para ella y con las que la autora nos da los momentos más divertidos también.
Maverick es un jugador de hockey profesional y padre soltero que recientemente sufrió una perdida que desestabilizó su vida por completo. Mav es un verdadero book boyfriend: amable, atento, tiene los detalles más hermosos y considerados con Kodi y sabe escuchar lo que ella necesita, pero también tiene mucho miedo de dejar entrar a alguien en su vida, y en la de la pequeña Bella, así que su camino a lo largo del libro no va a ser nada fácil. Afortunadamente, Maverick también cuenta con el apoyo de su papá y sus compañeros de equipo cuando más lo necesita (esos momentos de los chicos cuidando de Bella fueron realmente dulces).
Kodi & Maverick (y Bella también) se conocen cuando la pequeña choca por accidente con Kodi en el pasillo del helado mientras ambos compran su despensa, no parece ser el primer encuentro más romántico de la historia del romance, PERO créanme cuando les digo que lo es! Una de mis cosas favoritas de esta historia fue que Maverick no pueda dejar de pensar en Kodi a partir de ese momento y como el destino los une de la manera más inesperada para ambos: con Kodi convirtiéndose en la nueva niñera de Bella, lo que fuerza a ambos protagonistas a pasar más y más tiempo juntos, y gracias a lo cual Katelyn nos da los momentos más comunes y tiernos entre ambos. También me gustó mucho leer a Kodi & Bella formando un vinculo de manera natural, a Mav prestando atención a cada detalle sobre Kodi y siempre dándole el tiempo que ella necesita, AMÉ que ambos aprendieran a confiar de nuevo de la mano del otro y el hermoso final que la autora nos dio!
Sin lugar a dudas, Katelyn es una nueva autora que no pienso soltar! Esta mundo que nos presenta en su primer libro promete muchísimo, y si esta es la calidad que nos dio en su primera historia, no puedo ni imaginar lo que viene para ella (y para nosotras como lectoras).

Another new author that I'm in love with and another debut that's going to my favorites list! Katelyn Snyder captivated me from the prologue, that left me with mixed feelings for a certain character, gave me a love story that progresses at a perfect pace and one of the sweetest and most beautiful couples with Kodi, Maverick and little Bella. Also, I love that in this book both main characters have their respective group of friends and they all get along so well when they're together!
The book starts by showing us Kodi's breakup with her boyfriend, a situation that left me with many doubts about this despicable character that were cleared up very soon, and that helps us to know the moment in which our heroine's crisis began. Kodi is a girl who loves children and her job as a nanny, and after the fiasco with Andy she starts to feel insufficient, insecure about her personality and throughout the book she starts to realize many things about that relationship (something that I loved). Another super positive thing about her character is the circle of friends who are ALWAYS there for her and with whom the author gives us the funniest moments too.
Maverick is a professional hockey player and single father who recently suffered a loss that destabilized his life. Mav is a true book boyfriend: kind, attentive, has the most beautiful and considerate details for Kodi and knows how to listen to what she needs, but he's also very afraid of letting anyone into his life, and little Bella's, so his path throughout the book is not going to be easy at all. Luckily, Maverick also has the support of his dad and his teammates when he needs it the most (those moments of the boys taking care of Bella were really sweet).
Kodi & Maverick (and Bella too) meet when the little girl accidentally runs into Kodi in the ice cream aisle while they're both shopping for groceries, it doesn't seem like the most romantic first encounter in the history of romance, BUT believe me when I tell you that it is! One of my favorite things about this story was that Maverick can't stop thinking about Kodi from that moment on and how fate brings them together in the most unexpected way for both of them: with Kodi becoming Bella's new nanny, which forces both MCs to spend more and more time together, and thanks to which Katelyn gives us the most ordinary and tender moments between them. I also really enjoyed reading Kodi & Bella forming a bond in a natural way, Mav paying attention to every detail about Kodi and always giving her the when she needs it, I LOVED that they both learned to trust again with each other's help and the beautiful ending that the author gave us!
Without a doubt, Katelyn is a new author that I don't plan on letting go of! This world that she presents to us in her first book promises a lot, and if this is the quality that she gave us in her first book, I can't even imagine what's coming for her (and for us as readers).

ARC amablemente proporcionada por la autora a cambio de una reseña honesta
Otra autora nueva que me enamora y otro debut que va a la lista de mis favoritos! Katelyn Snyder me cautivo desde el prologo que me dejó con sentimientos encontrados por cierto personaje, me dio una historia de amor que avanza a un ritmo perfecto y a una de las parejas más dulces y hermosas con Kodi, Maverick y la pequeña Bella. Además, me encanta que en este libro ambos personajes principales tengan su respectivo grupo de amigos y todos se lleven tan bien cuando están juntos, a los cuales me estoy muriendo por leer!
El libro empieza mostrándonos el rompimiento de Kodi con su novio, una situación que me dejó muchas dudas sobre este despreciable personaje que fueron despejadas muy pronto, y que nos sirve para conocer el momento en el que empezó la crisis de nuestra heroína. Kodi es una chica que ama a los niños y su trabajo como niñera, y que después del fiasco con Andy comienza a sentirse insuficiente, insegura sobre su personalidad y que a lo largo del libro empieza a darse cuenta de muchas cosas sobre su relación con él (algo que me encantó). Otra cosa súper positiva de su personaje es el circulo de amigas que SIEMPRE están ahí para ella y con las que la autora nos da los momentos más divertidos también.
Maverick es un jugador de hockey profesional y padre soltero que recientemente sufrió una perdida que desestabilizó su vida por completo. Mav es un verdadero book boyfriend: amable, atento, tiene los detalles más hermosos y considerados con Kodi y sabe escuchar lo que ella necesita, pero también tiene mucho miedo de dejar entrar a alguien en su vida, y en la de la pequeña Bella, así que su camino a lo largo del libro no va a ser nada fácil. Afortunadamente, Maverick también cuenta con el apoyo de su papá y sus compañeros de equipo cuando más lo necesita (esos momentos de los chicos cuidando de Bella fueron realmente dulces).

This was a super cute single dad/ nanny hockey romance! I eat these up every time and this was a great debut from Katelyn! I had a lot of fun reading this.
Mav and Kodi were super cute, and I loved that Bella remained a big part of the story! Sometimes, I feel like the kids kind of get thrown into the background, but that wasn’t the case here and I really enjoyed Bella’s character!
I also loved their communication, and am especially a fan of there not being a third act breakup! This was a super cute read and I can’t wait to see who comes next!

I love this spicy hockey romance! It is a single-parent hockey player nanny romance. Maverick Hart has his hands full of caring for his baby girl Bella, while also managing his hockey career that requires frequent travel. His friend pushes him to find an au pair that can care for Bella and sometimes bring her to his away games. After Bella runs away in the grocery store, he sees her running towards a stunning woman who scoops her up. Mav is surprised at Bella's happy reaction to Kodi, who was a nanny for 6 years of experience. Once she is hired, she is offered accommodations at his home while she cares for Bella. Mav and Kodi start to feel the heat between them grow. After Mav sees the love Kodi gives to Bella he knows she's his forever!
It gave me so many feels!

𝗙𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁: Loved it! I always like the single dad trope but Mav takes it to next level and is the best girl dad ever. Seriously fell in love with the characters from the start and you will too. I was shocked to find out this was a debut novel can’t wait for more from this friends group!
Maverick is a single dad playing hockey for the NHL Tampa Manta Rays, he’s been there two years and has found his home. He has an adorable 2.5yr old and she is his world. With the recent passing of his mom his dad can no longer watch her full time during this upcoming season so he’s going to be forced to find a live in Au Pair. The other day he lost her at the grocery store and found her with a gorgeous woman in the ice cream asile, it just showed he needs help.
Kodi’s life is a bit upside down right now. The family she worked with just moved out of the country, her long time boyfriend just broke up with her. This has landed her on her besties couch working at the local coffee shop. But after running into an adorable little girl at the grocery store it really sparked her wanting to find another Au Pair type job, kids are her passion. So it’s time to start applying.
A few weeks later Kodi goes to an interview for the job she applied to. The door is opened by the hot single dad she met at the grocery story, well isn’t that just kismet. No surprise Kodi gets the job and moves into Mav’s house. But can that spark they felt be put aside? It’s a lot easier said then done to keep the way they are drawn to each other under wraps, especially when their are little eyes and lots of hearts on the line. This will be one interesting hockey season!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/ 🌶️🌶️🌶️
Katelyn’s debut novel is wonderful! This story has some of my favorite tropes, is written so well, is paced perfectly, and is consistent with the main plot line. I loved getting to know Katelyn’s writing style and am excited to read more in this series. With an adorable meet cute that seems to be kismet, the two MCs seem to be made for each other, even though they fight it at first. Katelyn's narrative is full of heart, passion, and romance.
Maverick is a single dad, about to start his hockey season. He has always been reluctant to hire a nanny, but realizes it’s time when he has a scare in the ice cream aisle. His daughter, Bella is full of energy and is sassy. I adored her character. Even more so, he keeps finding himself in the space of the same, attractive woman. And when she shows up at his door to interview for the nanny position, he hires her immediately.
Kodi is getting over a breakup. When she first meets Maverick, she has no clue who he is, a pro hockey player for the local team. She definitely doesn’t know that he is going to answer the door when she arrives for her nanny interview. I loved Kodi and Bella’s interactions and watching their relationship grow. Although Maverick falls for Kodi first, Kodi is head over heels for Bella. As she continues to dance around Maverick in their forced proximity she slowly develops feelings for him too.
Katelyn gives us so much in this book. Wonderful main characters, loveable side characters, a child who is definitely the star, and romance and spice that is pure perfection! She gives her readers chemistry, tension, witty banter, just everything that makes this a fun read. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and can’t wait to get to more from this series!
As always, review any author notes before reading.

Shot to the Hart by Katelyn Snyder is a heartwarming and passionate hockey romance that brings together two characters each carrying their own burdens and longing for a fresh start. The story begins with Kodi Roscoe, who is blindsided by her longtime boyfriend Andy breaking up with her, leaving her not only heartbroken but also homeless. With no other options, she crashes on her friend Darcy’s couch while juggling shifts as a barista and applying for nanny jobs in hopes of finding stability.
Enter Maverick Hart, a Tampa NHL player and devoted single father to adorable two-year-old Bella. Maverick’s journey as a parent hasn’t been easy; Bella’s mother walked out on them when Bella was an infant, and since then, Maverick has been her only caretaker, with occasional support from his father, who is still grieving the recent loss of Maverick’s mother to cancer. But when a harrowing experience at the grocery store highlights the challenge of managing Bella on his own, Maverick decides he needs a nanny.
The connection between Kodi and Bella is instant, and Maverick can’t help but notice the bond his new nanny builds with his daughter. As they grow closer, Kodi’s warmth and resilience draw Maverick in, challenging him to open his heart again. But he’s haunted by doubts: What if things don’t work out? And what if Bella’s biological mother returns?
This debut novel is as much about family as it is about romance. It beautifully captures the tender, sometimes messy journey of healing and learning to love again. With engaging characters, a swoon-worthy romance, and a strong focus on the complexities of blended families, Shot to the Hart is a fantastic start to the series. I’m already eagerly awaiting the next book!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This book was EVERYTHING! The tropes, the characters, the slow burn—it was all so perfect. Maverick was such an adorable and caring dad. Like, how can someone be so worried yet so sweet and gentle at the same time? I’m literally speechless. The way he interacted with Arabella melted my heart.
And that first meeting?? Oh my gosh, it was the cutest thing ever! Kodi and Arabella meeting in the ice cream aisle, and then Maverick showing up all panicked looking for his daughter—SO CUTE. Then, when Kodi shows up for the nanny interview and Maverick opens the door?! I was screaming, “This is meant to be!”
The tropes in this book are everything I love in a romance:
🏒 Single Dad/Nanny Romance
❤️ Slow Burn
👨👧 Found Family
🍦 Cute Meet-Cute
🏘️ Friends as Family
🥅 Sports Romance
Kodi was also such a relatable character. As an e-reader and book lover, her little moments of reading and escaping into stories made her feel so real and down-to-earth. I loved how her personality shone through not just in her interactions with Maverick and Arabella but also in her love for books.
The dynamic between Kodi and her friends was amazing too. Her friend group brought so much life and humor to the story. They felt like the kind of friends you’d want in your own life, always supportive and fun.
I really, REALLY hope this turns into a series because I need more about this friend group (like, give me their stories, please!). Katelyn Snyder absolutely nailed this debut, and I cannot wait to see what she writes next! If you love sweet, slow-burn romances with a single dad and nanny trope, this is a must-read.

This one was so good! The story follows a single dad, left without notice to raise his daughter alone. Maverick does what he can to provide for her but it’s getting harder as a rising hockey star. Kodi is an out of work nanny that has been couch surfing after a devastating breakup, working at a coffee shop and trying to land her next gig. Succumbing to the peer pressure from friends and family, Maverick opens his home to applications for help raising his daughter Bella. Kodi finally lands a job interview for nanny position, and it’s none other than Maverick Hart that opens the door.
The banter these two have and the development in their relationship is beautiful! They have an organic chemistry and Mav is such a caring, thoughtful MMC… and 🥵
Kodi falls in love with him (same, lol 💁🏻♀️) and their relationship grows into a relatable, loving, flourishing depiction of what a healthy blended family can be!
This book gave all the feels, and FEELS 🌶️ 🤓😋 The characters are top notch, nothing was overdone or too much. The spice was 😙🤌🏻 and 🥵 where it needed to be but it wasn’t the entire plot of the book! Plus, you can never go wrong with a little hockey romance 😏🏒
