3 Star

Brit has finally been drafted to the big league as a goalie for the Gold Hockey team.  She's used to all the bull of being the only female on a professional team.  What she doesn't anticipate is liking her team and wanting to get way closer to the captain, Stefan.  When some scandalous pictures come to light Brit is blackmailed into a pretend relationship with Stefan.  Two problems with that. One he doesn't know and two she doesn't want it to be pretend.

This is the one time I am glad I started with a later book.  This book was ok.  There were a lot of cliché moments in this book.  What I liked was the main character was a woman playing professional hockey.  She works her ass off to get where she's at and has to deal with a lot of shit to get there.  I liked the chemistry between Brit and Stefan.  I didn't like her lying to him to keep people out of trouble.  If she had just been honest then a lot of the BS wouldn't have happened.  I also didn't like some of the stuff with Stefan's mom.  The way it was written she did something pretty bad ish that affected Stefan his entire life.  Like it wasn't intentional but it was bad and had a lot of consequences and it was just kind of swept under the rug.  It was interesting to read to get the context of the series but not one of the better books in the series.  Start with one of the other ones first.
