Gnawing at the bars of my enclosure. I loved this book. It was such an easy, fun read. Hockey romance books are my bread and butter, and this didn’t disappoint! Hannah and Garret are one of my favorite new book couples! I think they complemented each other very well and felt like they were the perfect blend of bickering and understanding. The characters really made this story for me, and the plot was good if maybe a little cheesy but that's perfect for a romance novel. I also think the traumas were handled with some care and you could really see the impact they had on the respective characters without being just told and written off. My only qualm is I don't like how Hannah said she was fixed after the scene (being vague to avoid spoilers) and she didn't need fixing, her reactions were totally valid and understandable. Overall, I loved the books and the characters this was the perfect book to start off my 2025 reading year!
