I enjoyed Rory and Hazel as characters. Their dynamic was fun and I liked their relationship outside of the smut. The hockey setting was a bit lackluster and I found myself wanting more of the world and other side characters especially in the beginning and middle. I read this over a few days and switched to this one after trying to read the first in the series which I stopped at 30%. This one was better for sure

I drifted between 3.5 and 4 stars while reading. But by the end of the book the appeal of their relationship and the other events and what not was dropping. Some stuff was cringey and unbelievable too which I wasn’t a fan of. So my thought at the end was 3.5 rounded down to 3. My final I think will be 3.65-75 rounded down because 3 star reads have been worse than this and I don’t feel like it fits at 3 butitsnot4
