In the Penalty Box by Kelly Anne Blount, Lynn Rush

This book was super cute! I picked up this book not knowing a whole lot about it, but I’m glad I did.
Willow was a top figure skater until she hurt her achilles. She had to move back home to Woodhaven, WI after her team in Colorado dropped her. While healing at home, Willow is asked to join the boys hockey team scrimmage as the goalie. The team realizes she has a natural talent, and except for a few jerks, want her on the team. Willow makes a deal with Brodie. She’ll join the team, if he trains her so she can have more ice time. They begin to fall for each other, but the team has a rule: no fraternization. Dating is off limits.
What will Willow do if she’s offered a spot on another skating team? Will she leave Woodhaven and her newfound abilities? Or will she stay and lead the team to state?
This book was a typical hockey romance and actually reminded me a lot of a wattpad story I read once. The writing was very good too! I loved the alternating POVs between Willow and Brodie. The two authors did a great job of interweaving their writing, too. Sometimes that can be the most difficult aspect of writing a book together. I forgot most of the book that this was written by two people.
Definitely a quick read if you need something light and fluffy to get through. I’ll likely read again
