Thank you Net Galley for sending me this ARC for my honest review!
Rating: 4.5 Stars
This book was so refreshing and was actually my first sports romance read! I enjoyed it from start to finish. Coco and Logan had my heart the entire way through, especially with their enjoyable banter and chemistry. Not only do I love a fun and light hearted romance, but I also love the single parent trope. Logan is an incredible dad and seeing him fall for Coco was everything I needed in this book. Definitely recommend. I will be picking up a physical copy ASAP to read it over and over again whenever.
I thought this was a fun, lighthearted romance that kept me entertained the entire way through. I loved Coco and Logan as characters, and their budding relationship. While they fell incredibly fast it didn't feel forced. I will be giving my boyfriend a list of Logan's good deeds in this book to set the standard!
When it comes to the writing there were a few errors I picked up on during my read. Some examples included repeated paragraphs, simple typos, or switching between 1st and 3rd person. However, these are only minor things that can be fixed with editing easily.
Overall I rated this book four stars, and will definitely be open to reading more from this author in future!
Amazing Hickey romance ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Logan and Cocos story made me laugh out loud, smile like a loon, and get a little teary eyed! I can’t wait to read Lana & Cams story next.
The storyline was amazing, the characters were so relatable, and I loved the depth within the story! I 100% recommend
The premise of this and the instalove between Coco and Logan is adorable, and it definitely intrigued me. Coco has a reputation as a lucky charm (especially when she loses) and after Logan sends her to the hospital with an accidental slapshot to the head, she becomes his lucky charm too. But it has everything to do with how happy she makes him feel.
The copy I read seemed to have some inconsistencies in terms of character back story, and a few plots were kind of thrown in there and resolved oddly (Brent especially, like...it explains so much once you finally know the truth...what the hell?!?)
But this was a fun read for Logan's over the top simping, his love for his daughter Poppy, and the friendship between Coco and her bestie Marissa (I want Marissa's book!)
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
OMG!! I ate this book up! It was amazing!!! Especially since I’m missing hockey. These hockey romances are keeping me at bay while we are in the off season. This book was cute..not too spicy but just enough. I highly recommend this book. #TheCuttingEdge #NetGalley #hockey #hockeyromance #romance #sports #reading #read #fyp #booktok #bookreview #review #kindle #foryourpage #goal #viral #books #amazon #book #readingjourney #amazonkindle #relax #relaxing
Cute and sweet hockey romance.
Love it, it reminds me a little bit of The Cutting Edge movie from the early 1990s.

“I confess, I love the fact that her first instinct as she was coming to was to give me shit.”
“You’re not the kind of person who’s easy to forget.”
“Actually, I think you’ve got that backward, Nurse Barb. It’s my heart that starts beating faster when Coco's around.”
“I want to kiss you.”
“What’s stopping you?”
“Other than Nurse Barb? Nothing will – the second you say yes.”
“Yes.”
“That one was for you.”
My phone dings, Logan.
“Yeah, you.”
“I don’t think there’s enough air conditioning in the state of Florida to cool me down when you’re anywhere around.”
“Careful, or I might get the wrong idea.”
“And what idea is that?”
“That you find me as irresistible as I find you.”
“You’re trouble.”
“And yet you love me anyway.”
I’ve spent my whole life fighting for control, but when I’m with Logan, I want nothing more than to lose myself in the joy and wonder of whatever’s happening between us. And that terrifies and excites me all at once.
I’m falling for this man – falling hard and fast, just like he said. And the scariest part is, I’m not afraid of the fall anymore. Not with Logan here to catch me.

Hockey player MMC and figure skater FMC? Count me in!
Coco Charmont an Olympic figure skater struggling with her finances so she gives figure skating classes to children. When one parent was late picking up one of the students - Poppy, they went to the hockey rink to look for Poppy’s dad. The next thing Coco knows is waking up in ER room. She soon learns that she was hit by a puck in the head by no other than Logan Rivers, a single-dad NHL star who is having a hard time with his play lately. She had a concussion leading to an almost 2-week-long hospital stay and prohibition from ice. Her olympic gold medal dream is on the edge of a knife with the prohibition and her growing expenses. Logan, on the other hand, is extremely sorry for his fault and does everything he can to make it up to Coco. Logan is an absolute cinnamon roll! Well, his uncountable gifts made me cringe a little but I love how he tries everything in his power to help Coco. I also LOVE their chemistry and constant teasing! There are a few minor flaws though. Did they disturb me while reading? Absolutely not. I honestly really LOVE the story!
Thank you Lisa Daily and Siesta Key for the digital copy via NetGalley in return for an honest review.

This book was so funny and cute that I could not get over it!! I'm a huge sucker for sports romances and single dad romances so when you put them together It's something that I can not resist. one of my favorite things in books with single parents is funny kids who don't have a filter or any type of awareness and just blurt things out and that was poppy for you. This was such a quick and fun read and I can't wait to read more from this author.
The Cutting Edge follows Logan who is a professional hockey player who has not scored a goal in three days. Coco is a professional figure skater and teaches others how to skate. Coco and Logan meet due to some strange circumstances. Soon they start up a friendship that starts to develop into something more. The more time he spends with Coco the better his hockey game gets. Soon Coco agrees to be his good luck charm for the playoffs. After the playoffs are over will they still like each other?
I am such a fan of hockey romances. I really liked this one. The only problem that I had was that this book was marketed as a steamy romantic comedy. Which was just not the case. They kissed like once and when it did get to the steamy parts it was closed door for the most part. So I do not think the book should have been marketed that way. Other than that I really liked this book. I loved Logan and Coco's relationship. I thought this was a really cute read. I know this is the first book in a series and I can not wait to read the other books. If you like hockey romance books I would give this one a read.
The first 65% of the book the FMC is in the hospital, for less than two weeks. 65%….
While the MMC who has a daughter almost seems to forget he needs to be a parent, between the hospital visits and hockey.
The figure skater and the NHL captain, match made in heaven. I love hockey romances. But this was just a miss. It turned cheesy fast and not cuter cheesy.
The ex boyfriend scene was really out of left field.
And the whole money/lucky charm thing was just weird. “Betrayed” shortest grovel
I felt the writing was sub par, it wasn’t anything exciting or captivating.
It’s also labeled as steamy, I don’t mind clean romances from time to time, but this was false advertising as there was one steamy scene near the end, which was slightly cringey.
An amazing story . Coco is a figure ice skater and she gives lessons to young kids . One of them is Poppy the daughter of the hockey player Logan Rivers the captain of the St. Pete Slashers . When he is late ti pick up his daugther from her lesson she goes to find him in the stadium and she ends up getting hit by the puck in the head . Logan feels awful for the accident and he spents the next days keeping company to Coco at the hospital . His feelings for her makes him have one of his best games of his careeer so he thinks she is his lucky charm . Coco now that she is injured she can't work or practice for the Nationals and there is a chance she won't be able to go to the Olympics . When one of Logan coaches asks her to be Logan lucky charm until the team wins the Cup and to pay her so she can afford all the expenses she accepts . What happens when she realises she is in love with him and she is lying to him ?
I received this book from net galley and the publisher as an ARC. Thank you! All thoughts and opinions are my own .
So many romance tropes all at once.
Single Dad ✔️
He falls first ✔️
Sports Romance✔️
This book was simply swoon-worthy. It warmed my heart and made
Me feel like I was tuning into my favorite romantic comedy. Can’t wait for book 2 in the series to see what happens next. If you’re a fan of Christina Lauren, Tessa Bailey or Meghan Quinn I think this is a book for you!
The Cutting Edge follows Olympic figure skater Coco, and NFL hockey star, Logan, who are thrown together after Logan gives Coco a concussion after accidentally hitting Coco with his puck. Logan beings to court Coco from her hospital bed and the two find themselves drawn closer together. Especially when Logan begins to believe that Coco is his good luck charm and his shot at winning the NFL.
I really wanted to like this more than I did because I am a complete sucker for a hockey romance but I think there were several things that just were not doing it for me.
First and foremost, I do not enjoy insta-romances (romances that happen almost instantly). That's not to say that I love a painfully slow burning relationship either, but this book just happened far too quickly for me to feel much connection at all to the characters. They were immediately besotted with each other, so much so that Logan said he had fallen in love within two weeks - I didn't find this romantic so as much as unrealistic.
This meant that everything kind of went from 0 to 100 very quickly and didn't give much time at all for character development in my opinion.
I also felt like some aspects were quite rushed or just a way to fit certain known and well-loved 'tropes' in. For instance, at the mark 80% we are met with Coco's horrible ex who has never been mentioned previously and who calls her the C word rather abruptly and therefore faces Logan's rather - the classic over-protective boyfriend trope. This just felt slightly off to me and didn't have me kicking my feet like I usually would.
Finally, I felt like the whole miscommunication aspect of the book surrounding her being a lucky-charm and being paid for it was odd. They both were lying to each other and doing stuff behind each others back, which is just never a great start to a relationship and therefore made me connect less with them as a couple.
That being said, there were absolutely moments in this book that had me smiling and it's a fun flirtatious kind of story. I wouldn't not recommend this book to people it just would not be super high up on my list of contemporary romances to recommend!
A lovely book with a great cast of characters. Beautifully written and I got really invested in the story. I would highly recommend reading this one. A clever, engrossing story with fabulous characters.
Give me a good hockey romance any day. Logan was perfect, and such a sweetie. Love a good kid sidekick too. Coco was great, but the third act break up seemed contrived. She was upset that he deceived her in the same way she deceived him and that was hard to swallow. Otherwise it was cute and I love a story where he falls first. Could have used more heat.
I usually love a hockey romance, but I was not able to finish this book. The idea is super cute I theory, and I usually love a single dad trope, but the amount of errors in the book was so off-putting, I may try to read this once it’s published and edited better.
Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for providing me with an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
The Cutting Edge was an easy read not to be taken too seriously. It started off strong, but then other parts felt rushed,
I had never tried a sports romance book and I have realized it’s not for me. No fault of the book! I just need my romance to have sword fighting or magic or dragons 😅
The Cutting Edge was a very enjoyable rom com. NHL player and single dad Logan met his daughter's skating coach Coco after accidentally hitting her in the head with one of his slap shots. After spending time with her in the hospital, they both start having feelings for one another. Now, we know that it can never be that simple. After some miscommunications, they do have their HEA.
It was a very solid read. I wish it could have been a bit more in-depth and longer, but I was happy to spend my time reading the latest from Ms. Daily.
Thank you to NetGalley, Siesta Key and Lisa Daily for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.
I’m sorry but I could not get into this one. I read about 30% and had to DNF. The story and characters were cute, but I just didn’t click with the writing style. None of the dialogue felt genuine to me.
Big pros to the story though. I could tell it was sweet.
