I am here for the narrator, but stayed for a well written, hot-filled football story.

To be honest, I found this book and author all because of the narrator rabbit hole I have gone down. 

The story was cute, and the world needs more Drew’s in it.

A hat trick for the final book in this hot hockey RH with a great ensemble of characters and their growth. I am sad that it is over.

What a perfect sneak peek into Team Price’s lives after Pucking Around. Can’t wait for Pucking Wild to release and Volume 2 in this steamy hockey series.
