BLURB

He’s the hotter than sin bad boy of hockey, on and off the ice, but right now Sam Stone is in trouble so deep, it’ll take a miracle to save his career.

A miracle like getting town sweetheart, and everybody’s go-to girl, Elizabeth Rogers to help him polish his tarnished reputation.

Problem is, Elizabeth and Sam grew up together, and she’s not even a little impressed by Sam. But she’s also the girl who—try as she might—can’t say no…

If Elizabeth and Sam can learn to play nice with each other, what will happen to all those sparks?

My Review:
My Rating: 3 stars


This was an enemies to lover's hockey book. Elizabeth is a pushover to everyone except Sam, for some reason she has no problem telling him how it is. After Sam is suspended her mom asks Elizabeth to check on him and wanting to reassure her mom she ends up helping Sam. Sam needs help with his reputation and Elizabeth is the right person to help him do that. This was a cute, light romance. It had me chuckling at times and I liked watching how Sam helped Elizabeth see she needed to take herself out of toxic situations and quit being such a doormat. I felt this book focused more on Elizabeth and helping her become a stronger woman, which I liked. I haven't read a story in 3rd point of view for awhile so I didn't feel as connected to the characters with that type of writing. I did enjoy most of the secondary characters, especially Maddy and Guy. I also liked the banter between Sam and Elizabeth in the beginning. Overall, it was a cute hockey romance.

AUTHOR BIO

Born British and raised in South Africa, Sarah Hegger suffers from an incurable case of wanderlust. Her match? A hot Canadian engineer, whose marriage proposal she accepted six short weeks after they first met. Together they’ve made homes in seven different cities across three different continents (and back again once or twice). If only it made her multilingual, but the best she can manage is idiosyncratic English, fluent Afrikaans, conversant Russian, pigeon Portuguese, even worse Zulu and enough French to get herself into trouble.

Mimicking her globe trotting adventures, Sarah’s career path began as a gainfully employed actress, drifted into public relations, settled a moment in advertising, and eventually took root in the fertile soil of her first love, writing. She also moonlights as a wife and mother. She currently lives in Ottawa, Canada, filling her empty nest with fur babies. Part footloose buccaneer, part quixotic observer of life, Sarah’s restless heart is most content when reading or writing books.
