Even though I enjoyed the book overall, I wasn’t on board with the heroine of the story, and that is a major point for me when reading / reviewing.

As always with such sports romances the hero is a “seasoned” lover, so I expect - er, I wish - the heroine to be a match for him, otherwise why is she standing out among the crowd of women who launch themselves at our main man?

Violet starts out well, what with reading Fielding during a hockey game and with her apparent interest in literature, which sparks a conversation with Alex, but after that there’s only sex-sex-sex, so it was difficult for me to see the credibility of this love story.
Granted, Violet is hilarious (after about 60% of the book) but still, she is also extremely immature, brat-tish and quite frankly mostly acts like a child. Also, let me say this: Word-vomit is NOT always endearing, not when it’s all you can do. I do not understand Alex’s fascination with her.

I will give this series another try, as I’m interested to see what becomes of Buck (often unjustly insulted for his ways AND his appearance -by his sister!- in this book) and Darren. Maybe I’ll be surprised.
