Their meet-cute was believable and fun and her roommates were funny and helpful to the story. This is a clean sports romance that features siblings of the Bell Town Six and more. We get to catch up on all the previous characters and meet new ones to set up this new series. Rebecca Connolly is so good at writing a clean and swoony story with a likeable cast of characters. I laughed and giggled at this story- it was so cute! Whether you are a fan of hockey or not, don’t hesitate to read this book. I would recommend this to anyone who loves sports and a good romantic read.
