3⭐️ 2🌶️
MOOD: funny, lighthearted
TROPES: note: the book has really light versions of the tropes - enemies to lovers, instalust, forced proximity
GENRES: contemporary, sports, why choose
FAV QUOTE: 

MAIN CHARACTERS: Teagan Hayes, Coulter Collins, Fin Baxter, Royal Reynolds

THE GOOD: It's a really quick read and it made me laugh.
THE MEH: Everything is generic: the characters, the plot, the tension and the drama. The name of the college is literally State College. I could be more forgiving of this - or even ignore it - if there was something else going on: either a focus on the hockey or the smut but those areas are also lacking. I also really dislike the lack of prep for an*l during the spicy scenes especially when it's at least one of the character's first times (update: this had been fixed in the released version). If that's in your why choose story then you need to figure something out. For a hockey romance that takes place in college, there is very little hockey or college. For a romance, there's also not a lot of their relationship and I can't even put it in the smut or erotica category. 

CW: mentions of sexual assault
