This was fun! I really enjoyed Smitty and Bryson. They were both so different, but went together really well. I liked that Bryson was so in control and somewhat uptight while Smitty was a fun loving wild card. I also love that they hit if off immediately, despite the on ice fight between Smitty and Bryson's son. I also enjoyed the small town aspect and how everyone was so nosy. The conflict felt real and their relationship developed at a realistic rate, too. It was fun to watch them have fun together. I will be reading the rest of this series for sure, especially Denny's book when it comes out! 2/5 spice levels.

Notes: hockey, single dad, son's rival, small town, divorced MC, past relationship trauma
