Wow, how is this not an established author? I loved the book. The characters were delightful and hockey featured only briefly. I loved the different cultural aspects. Gabby from Argentina and Jackson from Quebec City, Canada. They meet in Washington DC. I've always pictured DC this way.
Pretty cool read. Hope to read many more from this author.
I will admit I'm a hockey genre junkie, but not all stories are created equally. I really enjoyed this one. It had all the stuff that makes for a great story. Strong characters, unique story line, good writing and that need to hear more from the author. Add in the fact the story had more than just two POV, and I found even more depth. Not to mention the HEA for Gabby and Jackson, which is a must for me.
I give this one 4.5 stars and recommend it to lovers of 'the game'.
