This is one of the first adult sports romances I've read and I had a great time, overall! It has just enough holiday vibes to be perfect for this time of year, but not so much that it takes over the story. Even thought he demisexual rep was not on page, it was clear in multiple scenes that Landon's experiences matched with that label. I think a lot of ace people would resonate with Landon's feelings about arousal and his complicated feelings about suddenly feeling sexual attraction when that's so rare for him.  Even after Landon starts having sex with Casey, he still has boundaries that Casey is willing to respect, while still getting what he needs in that area. As someone who often gets bored with sex scenes, I found these had enough variety and character development to keep me interested. Beyond the rep, I connected with both Landon's grief and Casey's self esteem issues related to his intelligence. The way Casey's parents treated him and the class difference between him and Landon could have been addressed more, which is what kept me from rating this any higher. I would still recommend if you're interested in a hockey romance set around the holidays! There are multiple sex scenes between Landon and Casey, none of which involve penetration with anything other than a toy. Casey has sex with other people in the book, but there is no actual cheating.
