I am a sucker for hockey romances, through in a little forbidden romance and a fake relationship and I am completely sold on the book. Dirty Swedish Player was all that and more and I loved everything about this story.

This is the third book in the Big Stick series, however, it can be read as a standalone. I haven’t read the first two, but I will definitely being going back to check them out. I didn’t feel lost at all with the story at any point.

As for the characters, I like Sierra. She was smart, hardworking and a pretty supportive friend. I mean, who else would volunteer to babysit your friends mother (trust me, Sloane’s mother is not an easy person to keep your eye on). Nils had a rough childhood, he may be a little overaggressive at times, somewhat of a jerk, but there is a sweet side to him and that shows throughout the story. Along with his thick skull. I may have yelled at my kindle a time or two when it came to him and Sierra’s relationship.

I loved the chemistry between the Sierra and Nils. It was definitely a slow burn when it came to these two and you just want to force them to get together. When they finally do and finally give in to their chemistry things get a little heated and just continue to get hotter from there.

If you like hockey romances, fake relationships, second chances (in a way) and a little mix of forbidden romance this is definitely one to check out.
