I really enjoyed this best friends to lovers romance entirely due to the absolutely loveable himbo, totally oblivious, eternally happy sensitive soul that is Dex. He may not be “the sharpest crayon in the box” but he’s certainly the most joyful. It’s one of the reasons why his best friend/teammate Tripp has been pining for him since they first met 3 years ago and didn’t that pull on my heartstrings at times.

The two of them are so sweet and have so much fun together even before the PR nightmare that leads to a change in their relationship. As Dex embraces his new feelings toward Tripp the fun times turn more towards the heated variety as the chemistry between them ignites. Tripp finally gets the HEA he’s only ever imagined when Dex finally realises his feelings of love towards Tripp are real and true and forever.

This is an easy enjoyable read with a dash of angst in regard to the hockey element of the plot, two wonderful main characters and some great side characters to keep things interesting. I’m looking forward to the next in the series.
