MY REVIEW:

Kennedy Cole has fallen into a rut doing the same things over and over again, she’s been lost since she lost her mother and she can’t bring herself to do the things she enjoys because they remind her too much of her mother. So she ends up just floating by babysitting and not really doing much else, besides her relationship with Justin Ward. When she thinks things are getting serious she gets dumped.

Alexei is looking for a chance at redeeming his career after everything his been through. He’s use to the on ice antics and it was even praised at one time. But now it seems like everyone has turned against him and dislikes him for the same antics they use to praise him for. Now is his to chance to start over in a new state with a new team and prove himself. But before he can even start playing he gets caught up in a scandal with Kennedy

Now they think the only way to get ahead of this scandal and not ruin Alexei’s already ruined reputation is for them to fake date. This might actually help Alexei and make Justin jealous at the same time. Win-win right and they just have to tolerate each other for three months and act like they like each other.

So when I started reading this book I was like I don’t see how they will eventually like each other because they were always at each others throats, like every time they talked  and every time they went out on dates. I couldn’t see how they would get from that to liking each other, but I was so invested.

And then after one fight where we could see they were ready to hang up the towel they decide to call a truce to make the fake relationship work, which really helped. They started to talk about things that they didn’t argue about, which brought them a bit closer together. Then I could see a relationship start to build between them.

There were so many misconceptions about the other on each part. A lot of the misconceptions about Alexei were because of the jerk Justin. And because Kennedy didn’t like used those misconceptions to not like Alexei that made him dislike her. When they finally got to the bottom of it, they realized none of it was true.

I really loved watching them go from enemies to lovers and even more after that. Alexei pushed Kennedy in a way that she needed. She had checked out a bit and didn’t want to move forward with her life but he pushed her to be more. And she was there for him and by his side when he needed her the most. I loved that he wanted someone to come home to, to build a future with it was so sweet.

And I absolutely loved how he took the new rookie Zach in and helped him, when he could have just let him go to a hotel and stay there. He took him into his home and mentored him to show him the way. Zach was so hilarious, I absolutely loved him and can’t wait to see if there is a book in the future for him.

I am not a fan of Hockey usually but I have to say I absolutely loved this book and the Hockey aspect too. Right before this I also read a romance about Hockey, will this be my new obsession? I loved everything about this book and how it all played out. This was one of those books that I could not put down from start to finish.
