This is a darker romance which perfectly matched my mood after my mom died. My heart broke for Cal as her past was unveiled chapter by chapter. And yet, I also found myself yelling at her to get out of her own way. And then there’s Row whose grumpiness and lashing out at Cal initially turned me against him until I saw that it was his protective mechanism to keep himself from falling harder for Cal. I loved how he articulated his feelings for Cal.

Thankfully, the online, secret identity chats leant some much needed comic relief.

Audiobook thoughts:
Teddy Hamilton nailed Row’s grumpy, abrasive personality and turned up the heat with his narration of Row’s dirty talk. Cal’s quirky, sunshiney personality really came through with Lila Winters’ performance.

Read if you like:
* second chance
* best friend's brother
* enemies to lovers
* celebrity chef
* small town romance
* Slow burn
* Grumpy x sunshine
* He falls first and hard
* It’s always been you

This was so fantastic and everything I want from a hockey romcom. The spice, banter, and humor was perfection. The duet narration by Connor Crais and Erin Mallon was one of the best things I’ve listened to in a while. Erin narrates quirkiness like no other, and Connor nailed Wesley’s personality. Listen to the audio and thank me later because they truly brought the story to life.

The meet cute between Josie and Wesley had me laughing and covering my face in second-hand embarrassment. Then there is the bucket list Josie must complete which gets her out of her comfort zone. Of course Wesley offers to complete it with her. And is there anyone who doesn’t like a good counter scene (even if it doesn’t seem practical in real life)?
I loved the notes, texts, and emails they sent to one another. I’m a sucker for these epistolary components.
