This is a college hockey romance. It’s fine. Lavender has been around Kodiak her whole life. Their dads are best friends and former pro-hockey players. Her brother is best friends with Kodiak. But one night when they were young, Lavender is briefly kidnapped at a carnival. Luckily, she is found within the hour, but the repercussions are far reaching. Her whole family become overly obsessed with being over protective, especially her twin as well as Kodiak. His need to be her savior as kids and her need to have him there to be safe begins to worry her parents with their young age so they devise a plan to give them space. Kodiak takes what they say about it being toxic to heart and decides that in order to save her, he has to hurt her so much she hates him. But, now they’re at the same college (along with her brothers and cousins) and Lavender no longer needs saving or everyone’s overprotectiveness. Kodiak must finally come clean with how he feels and Lavender has to stand up for herself even against her family at last. I liked Lavender.  I think she is a strong character that handled everything with strength and love. I’m ambivalent to Kodiak. I mean I get it, but he was a major jerk. All in all this was just ok for me. Not great, I’ll forget it by time I post the review, but not bad either. A quick cute romance read. Good for when I’m stuck somewhere and need a non-complicated read.
