Summary
 From the no. 1 international bestselling author of Better than the Movies, childhood sweethearts reunite in a hockey-loving town where romance is about to heat up the ice. *Pre-order now!*

From play dates on the playground to sneaking into movie theatres, Dani and Alec were inseparable as kids. Until Dani moved away. Years later, Dani is back in Minnesota, and exited to reconnect with the nerdy and comforting Alec. But teenage Alec is NOTHING like the boy she remembers. He's the hockey STAR in a town where hockey players are worshipped as gods – and he loves it.

When one thing leads to another and Dani and Alec find themselves thrown together and playing the role of boyfriend and girlfriend, “complicated” becomes an understatement. In this Minnesota town, hockey may rule, but romance is about to take its place.

A swoony, boy-next-door fake dating romance from the New York Times bestseller, Lynn Painter.

the Banter was funny. Just wish their problem was just terrible communication. I loved the Narrarators, would of been better in Duel narration.

Enjoyed the characters and story but the swearing ruined it for me. So much unnecessary swearing.

Ok

Story is alright, if you’ve read any other hockey romances you’ve essentially read this one too. Would be better if it was edited down as some of it feels like filler and drags a little.

Narration is really good!!

I’m mostly mad that the cover shows her having figure skates. Naturally I thought that would be as present as the hockey or at least appear a little. But nope. Not only is she not a figure skater, she doesn’t go skating at all. Feels misleading.

Figure skates appear 4x on the cover and yet we don’t see her skate once
