One night. No strings. And a really good puck.
Five years ago, Astrid O’Malley experienced the ultimate in public humiliation. Being dumped at the altar by her childhood sweetheart was horrifying enough. That fact that he was a professional hockey goalie and her dad was his coach? It was all anyone in sports could talk about.
Eff hockey. Eff goalies.
These days, Astrid lives a life (mostly) free of hockey and free to pursue whoever she wants with exactly zero shame in her game. Like tonight’s hook-up. This guy’s nailed the lumberjack aesthetic perfectly. Especially when he has the stamina and creativity to back it up.
Because the rule is: it’s one night only. Which is gonna be a problem because she’s just discovered he lives in the apartment upstairs. And he’s joined her dad’s team. As the goalie coach. To train her ex.
Now Astrid is in some kind of hockey hell–filled with her ex, her family, and the best sex of her life. And somehow she’s been roped back onto the team.
Puck my life.

MY REVIEW
Astrid's lived her life the way she wants since she was dumped at the altar by her first love. She's religiously stayed away from hockey since then, and has vowed no more hockey players, no more hockey, period. Considering the guy who dumped her was a hockey player, she's become allergic to it. So what does she do when she finds out her newest is now coaching her dad's hockey team? And is coaching her ex, the one who dumped her at the altar? Yikes!
A sports based rom-com with lots of delicious chemistry?! I'm there, definitely. Cal is a delight - a sweetheart who was just trying to hang onto what he had thought was his dream when he was bulldozed by a woman who lives life by her own rules. I really enjoyed this hockey romance, about the only thing I thought could have been better was the ending, it felt a bit rushed and incomplete. Aside from that, everything else is rom-com gold.
