I am a sucker for a hockey romance, so reading this novella in the Colorado Ice series was a no brainer.

Though this time it is not about the hockey players, but their mascot Owen / Bernie.

I adored Owen right from the get go, I could feel his hurt at always seeming to be invisible around his hockey friends.

Paige wants to be invisible She hides herself in her office, hides behind clothes.

This is more than just a sweet romance, it is about 2 scarred and scared individuals finding that they can be more, that they are more.

It is always hard with a novella to get it all in the story. I did struggle to feel the connection between our lovelies - particularly Paige to Owen. However with a bit more time I am sure that this would have developed more.

Or maybe I just wanted this to be a full length story so everything could be fleshed out?

Maybe This Summer is sweet and sexy and lovely, and a good quick read to tide us over until book 3 in the series
