I was definitely a little worried about it after meeting the characters in the other stories though just not sure how Stephanie was going to make it work, but she pulled it off so well and I should have known better than to doubt her!!!
I was laughing at Hayden and Darcy’s friend antics from the beginning, wanting to be Darcy’s friend to help build her up like she deserved, and jealous of the care and attention Hayden gives not only to Darcy but everyone in his life!
Also plus of seeing Rory Miller again (The Fake Out is still my fav of this series)
Hayden and Darcy are so much more than meet the eye and just such real characters, this is another great one by Stephanie! Definitely recommend it.
And the crumbs for book four?!?!?!?!? I’m already dying for it....more

Zander is so fun and how you picture a professional athlete, but more than that too. The story develops more and more as they get to know each other and all of the side characters are lovely too and help shape the world Liz started in this book! ...more
I’ll start off by saying I’m someone who likes and enjoys long romance books, which I know not everyone agreI wanted to like this book, I really did.
I’ll start off by saying I’m someone who likes and enjoys long romance books, which I know not everyone agrees with. This was too long. I’m someone who tends to read fast, and I don’t know if this is just a type of book you can’t read fast.
I was closer to rating this 2 stars, but I do love the characters and the idea behind it and I know how hard it is to get something out there, so that’s why I ended up giving it 3.
The beginning is incredibly dialogue heavy, which is something I can enjoy but I felt like I was reading about a friend group 3-4 books into a series that I hadn’t got introduced to. I feel like there needed to be more explanation and introduction of characters before we jumped in to them bantering back and forth - both the FMC and MMC’s friend groups.
Also I’m not sure if it’s because I’m not Canadian but where they were at times was confusing going back and forth between cities/areas and there wasn’t always a clearly defined sense of transition of place or time at times.
If you’re looking for spice this is IT. It’s well done and that is one of the great parts of this book.
I just feel like maybe about the first 60% should have been closer to 30% of the book and it still would have had the same effect, especially with some of what happens towards the end as well. We didn’t need that much other things first - and I am saying that as someone who really likes time just getting to see the couple together and chilling. I think because it was still early in the book I knew it wouldn’t last and didn’t enjoy it like I could have later. ...more

This is a great rom com style hockey romance with professional players. I love the bromance between all the guys and the found family vibes all around. Such a fun book that had me laughing out loud and also tearing up at the end. ...more
I know we’re all talking about Cay and Mars, but the Ryan chapters broke me - made me cry and made me smile. Made me love Pucking Wild even more.

Love these extra moments we get, it’s something I always want more of in romance books and Dr Rath is the best for giving them to us! ...more

Stephanie knew exactly what she was doing - aka this quote:
"I’m vaguely aware of a dog barking and racing around the apartment behind him, but my gaze follows his movement as he props a hand on the doorframe. His sleeves are pushed up, and my gaze lingers on his forearm. Jamie Streicher’s forearms could get a woman pregnant."
I loved it so much, it's a bit of a slow burn but when you get to the spice it's SO worth it. It makes sense for the characters and how they’re relationship grows over time.
The character development, and the characters finally admitting to their feelings, feels so real and perfect. And they communicate well once they do it, even through some struggles and crap from other people. They unwaveringly support each other.
Also who doesn't love a cute dog? Especially one a grumpy goalie doesn't admit he loves for over half the book while showing he does with actions - exhibit A below:
"Am I… starting to like this dog? I frown at her, and she pants and wags her tail. I snort."
This is a fantastic fun read. I cannot wait for this series to continue - and make sure you read the bonus chapter for this book too! Highly recommend. ...more
