A forbidden love, sports romance...

This was an insanely funny, lighthearted hockey romance. The tension, the conflict, the moment of realization - all of it worked. 

The narrators, Abigail Reno and Lee Samuels, injected just the right amount of levity and intensity that these characters deserved. From the featured couple of the moment (Aaron and Olivia) to the extremely quirky roommates at the uh-oh apartment (Sophia and Jake), they made the story come alive. They totally get 5 gold stars.

* Re-read of a favorite.
