I absolutely adore how seamlessly I transitioned into reading this book from the prior one in the series. Seeing the setup to the payoff in this book was so freaking fun! The relationship between the two main characters was great because it really was built as a friendship and it evolved. These characters both push each other to be better, more confident versions of themselves and played a fun game of toeing the line between friendship and more. I also loved the introduction of a female character that was not already hockey acquainted or hockey adjacent and seeing how she fit into this world. 

I just have to say I’m a huge fan of how this book touched on what some may perceive as ”unconventional” sexual dynamics including nods to open relationships, threesomes, and exhibitionism. Not to mention just the spiciness of Hunter and Demi’s sex scenes! Their chemistry is off the charts hot and the tension was so strong given the circumstances too!
