I absolutely adored this couple. Zach and Finley balance each other out so perfectly. She is the structure and he is the fun. I have always loved a good opposites attract story but being a hockey romance on top of that makes it that much better. This checks all the boxes for me, brothers teammate, secret relationship with mental health representation and that kick your feet, giddy, happy love story feeling!

I could not put this book down! It was such a fun and quick read, never leaving a dull moment. I love the characters, everything about them made me want to keep reading. That being said, it was very fast paced. I personally prefer books like this, but I understand that some people don’t. The relationship developed quickly and I thought there was more room for some burn. Overall though, it was fantastic!

Truthfully there is nothing I love as much as a hockey romance. Hockey romances got me back into reading in my 20s and I have had a soft spot for them ever since. When I say I loooooved Zach y'all, understatement of the century. From the very first page I could not wait to see how he loved Finley, which, I won't lie, made the story feel so long until they finally got to be together. This is not the first book I have read that included mental health struggles, but they are done very respectfully and truthfully in my opinion. There are not always rainbows and love does not always fix everything! But everyone deserves to be loved. Will definitely recommend.

Having read the first book in this series, it’s nice to jump into a book with familiar faces (Volkov and Harris especially).

Zack is a loveable MMC from the beginning, Finley takes a little bit of warming up to, which is clearly intentional as with her mental health, and the mindset she’s in. The way Kathryn’s written Finley’s POV is perfection.

The chemistry between Zack and Finley is evident from the beginning and continues throughout.

Such a cute read! This sweet and swoon-worthy romance brings us Zach Briggs and Finley Harris, two characters who are total opposites in the most adorable way—think black cat and golden retriever vibes. Zach, with his brooding, reserved nature, is perfectly balanced by Finley's sunny, free-spirited personality, and together, they create the kind of chemistry that makes you smile with every page.

I loved the dual POV! It was so fun to see both sides of their story, with each perspective adding depth and heart to their journey. Watching their relationship unfold was like savoring a slow burn that paid off beautifully in the end. If you're looking for a feel-good, opposites-attract romance with all the sweet moments and none of the drama, this book is it! Perfect for curling up and getting lost in love.

Thanks to NetGalley and the Publisher for allowing me the opportunity to receive the ARC.

I was pretty interested in this book based on the tropes, the fact that it included pro hockey & gymnastics, and its mental health components. Overall, it was ok read. It felt more of a filler read for me personally, while I waited for some other books to release. I liked both characters well enough and the story was good, I just wasn’t superrrr invested. I haven’t read the other books in this series and maybe that’s why I wasn’t very invested?? It may not have been a five star read for me, but it’s definitely possible that I could be for someone else!

Kathryn Kincaid is becoming one of my favorites just because of these books. I have enjoyed every single one of them!
