Overall I enjoyed this book - a fun little novella, however my main issue with it was the pacing of the story. I know that novellas typically are fast paced and things can happen quickly the pace difference between the first half and the second half threw me off a bit.
The first half was a good pace in setting up the story and the annoyance/conflict between the characters. Then the second half suddenly was very fast paced, with the characters very quickly getting along and then together. I wanted to see more of the transition/a more consistent pacing between the two halfs
That said Ill definitely be checking out the rest of the series once it comes out
- prequel novella to a series
- sports romance (hockey)
- small town
- forced proximity
- fast pace
Thank you to NetGalley for the arc - all opinions are my own
