This was a cute surprise! Bonus points for being set in Canada! If you're looking for something lighthearted, slightly festive, and relatively low on drama, this brother’s-best-friend romance was great. Really, the main conflict is Beth and Foster hiding their relationship. Catch me in a different mood, and I might have complained about the lack of angst. But not today. I adored this!
Beth never expected to get close to the Ottawa Otters' goalie, but when she becomes the victim of a rental scam, Foster steps in and offers her a temporary place to stay. These two were precious together! I loved seeing Foster fall for Beth, coming in hard with cute texts and affection. It was also incredibly refreshing to see them discuss conflicts together. A+ communication!
As for the hockey aspect, the Ottawa Otters' teammates and their locker room banter was a really fun time! You get just enough of a taste of each of their personalities. I'm already claiming Austin as my favourite. I’m very much looking forward to more in this new series!
