I enjoyed the relationships between the boys but Bensons sister pissed me off. Also it feel so slow for majority and then literally just stopped??? It felt like some parts of the story were over developed and others were under developed. It was fine, but not my favorite tbh
Plot: 3/5 • Spice: 1/5 ➡️➡️➡️ A slow burn, contemporary hockey romance. Theres an overbearing sister/roommate. Lucy tutors Benson, who is Gianna’s brother. Benson, captain of the college hockey team.
So slow. No real climax. The peak is between Gianna and Lucy. She didn’t want her to date her brother. Lucy falls in love with Benson. That’s not. No real spice. No real drama. Just kind of flat all around.
What happens when you're the best and only math tutor who suddenly needs to tutor your best friend's off limits brother? You do what you're told. After rooming with your bestie for the last two years, seeing his face all over the apartment, and having never met him, you prepare yourself with the armor of professionalism.
It takes Benson less than five minutes to fall, and fall hard. He's smitten. Due to one mishap six years prior, his sister refuses to allow the two to meet.
At a party, A game goes awry, Lucy flees, and Benson gives chase. He walks her home, kisses her, and goes back home.
Due to the overstep, Gi gets furious. When they go further, her fury is unmatched. Lucy has to chooses Gi or Benson, resulting in Gi kicking Lucy from the apartment.
Lucy is a shy, sweet girl. Benson a hot athlete. This love story is quick, sweet, and easy to traverse. Love at first sight, or close enough.
The book wasn't bad. It was pretty interesting and I enjoyed the characters of Benson and Lucy and their friends. However, there were parts that detailed some of the most mundane things that I got bored and skipped ahead. It would be describing every single thing Lucy did in between her tutoring with Benson. The situation with her mom was kind of weird. Her mom was nicer, then later she was snarky towards her, then all of a sudden Lucy is happy to see her. I doubt I will read the next book. But it wasn't bad, just a little too detailed for me.
Dnf @43%. This book has been pretty boring so far. We’re almost half way through and the mc’s are just starting to get together, it’s dragging on way too long. Also, the sister just pisses me off way too much. I would’ve stopped being friends with her awhile ago.
