This book was...awful. I was excited to read it - there was so much hype, cute cover, and it didn't even start out that badly! But I don't know if it's because I'm not in my 20's or maybe just know too much about the basics of how figure…

I loved this book. Everyone is entitled to their opinions about the plot and storyline but I loved it! I literally could not put it down especially when it got spicy! I also appreciated the fact that Hannah Grace included a playlist with…

Longer than it should have been. Predictable ending and plot. It wasn't so boring that I couldn't finish it, however I dont understand the hype.

The romance I didn't buy into. There was an excessive amount of tell and not show but in the weirdest places possible?? The scenes we should've had details for were brief and vague and the most meaningless of conversations will drag on for…

Mixed feelings. It was good, cute in some parts, the spice was mediocre, but towards the end I couldn't wait to just finish it the damn book.

It started off strong, but then it started to really drag on. It had it's cute moments, but didn't need to be as long as it was. The leads were also kinda toxic together???

This was a near-perfect book and I really enjoyed the majority of it. Stassie and Nate are very mature and probably the healthiest couple in a book I've read so far. Their communication is so open with each other and it was just really…

The book is about a romance filled with respect, understanding, friendship and kindness. It has been a good while since I’ve read a male character this kind and caring towards the love interest and I must say that I appreciate it! It…

If you’re a hardcore romance fan this book is for you. This book is about a figure skater and a hockey player who build a friendship that ends up turning into more. It is definitely more of a steamy romance but it’s an extremely cute…

I usually read NHL hockey romances by Sarina Bowen. This book is about college students. I read 150 pages and the story was going nowhere...just sex. I don't mind sex but just sex for sex....no. This book is over 400 pages. I…

Too long and the story dragged. Also, too many sex scenes that did not advance the storyline. And finally, I don’t know how hockey works, but I’m super duper sure figure skating DOES NOT WORK LIKE THAT.

This was a cute and fun read that I enjoyed! Although, it could have really been cut down to a shorter book, I did find myself half way through wondering how there was possibly MORE story to tell between these characters, but alas, the…

A very spicy novel about Nate, a hockey player, who falls for Anastasia, a figure skater (think The Cutting Edge with A LOT of spice thrown in). Overall, the story is fairly predictable. The characters are rich kids who are used to getting…
