I'm surprised to see that a lot of people didn't enjoy this book compared to the last series. Having read Puck Drills & Quick Thrills, I'm so glad Ezra got his own book. Note: This can be read as a standalone, but it does spoil some events from the previous series.

Personally, I liked this one more than any of the CU Hockey ones. For me, the flaws of this book are relatively small. I think it's a little too short (I would have liked some more time for Ezra and Anton to be more introspective about their feelings) and some parts of it made me cringe a little

(like the karaoke scene)

. Overall though, I really liked this book and I loved the characters. If you're like me and love rivals-to-lovers sports romances, give this one a shot.
