First off, a huge thank you to Hanna for sending me a review copy in exchange for an honest review. Maddox is highly protective. And even though he’s got a filthy mouth, it’s not the same case when it comes to Braxton. He literary worships her and wants the best for her. On the other hand, Braxton is strong, witty, confident, kind, and got the kindest heart. Despite everything I said I wouldn’t do, I can’t seem to stay away from him. But dating a future NHL player isn’t the life I imagined for myself, and as things keep going wrong, I’m starting to wonder if maybe the best-made plans aren’t always the ones you expect. Oakley and Ava meet one night at Oakley’s going away party as he transitions to the minor leagues. Oakley isn’t in the party mood, and Ava had just caught her boyfriend cheating. They end up talking for hours before going their separate ways. I have one goal. To be drafted into the NHL and make my father proud. I����ve never been interested in dating, not when all of my spare time is spent at the rink perfecting my craft. There’s no time for distractions. I can’t afford them.

Well written love story. Kept me wanting to read more. Can’t wait for the next one!

Oakley was a SWOON worthy book boyfriend. He was the absolute best. A little birdie told me, we see him again in the next generation series and I. Am. Here. For. That. !! But she came out of nowhere.
