It had been love at first sight…or at least love at first sight of a toppling, glittering, unfortunately-shaped mascot.
Semantics.
Charlie had been spending time in San Francisco with his sister—who was a publicist for the San Francisco Gold hockey team. And by spending time with her, he meant he was licking his wounds and trying to pretend that he hadn’t just had his heart broken. But it was really hard to pretend he was fine when he was surrounded by happy couples.
He didn’t know what the hell was in the water, but the freaking Gold seemed to breed happy endings like some people bred…horses? Hot house roses? A never-ending supply of hard seltzers in his fridge?
Whatever. The point was that he’d been alone and heartbroken…
Until that giant, glittering gold mascot had toppled over, its head falling off to reveal the woman within.
To reveal Kacee.

MY REVIEW
Charlie's instantly struck with fascination when the Gold's mascot is revealed to him, in a very meet cute kind of way. Kacee's also struck by the same kind of fascination when this gorgeous guy doesn't recoil in horror at the smell her mascot costume exudes. They could be a match made in heaven, but only if the damage an abusive ex has done to Charlie's soul doesn't get to him at the worst time.
Kacee has truly, finally, found a family with the Gold, as their mascot. And when that family brings her the sweetest, most beautiful man in Charlie, she knows she's really found her people. But though they both have horrible exes in their pasts, Charlie's has done far more horrors to him, could be the biggest obstacle in their path to happiness.
This is one of the most emotionally heartrending of all of the Gold stories so far. It has its sweet, fun moments, like when Kacee and Charlie first meet, and it definitely has intense chemistry, but the part that will stick with me is the way Charlie finally met and bested his past, literally and figuratively. I loved him and Kacee together, and I loved their story, but be forewarned it's got some heavy subject matter too, heavier than in some of the previous Gold Hockey stories.
