🚨🏒 SLAP SHOT by Chelsea Curto is the hockey romance you didn’t know you needed but won’t be able to live without! 🚨🏒

Hudson Hayes, star defenseman for the DC Stars, is the ultimate cinnamon roll hero—sweet, thoughtful, and an absolute goner for Madeline Galloway from the second she steps into his life. Maddie, a private chef and single mom, is just trying to rebuild after losing her job, but moving to D.C. to work for Hudson? Definitely not what she expected.

Their dynamic? Pure slow burn, friends to lovers magic. The tension builds so perfectly—stolen glances, quiet moments in the kitchen, inside jokes that make you feel the connection growing. And then that New Year’s Eve kiss? 🫠🔥 Say goodbye to their whole "strictly professional" agreement because these two cannot stay away from each other.

But what really seals the deal? Hudson learning American Sign Language for Maddie’s daughter, Lucy. 😭💘 This man doesn’t just fall—he dives in, proving over and over again that he’s all in, no hesitation. The way he loves both Maddie and Lucy will make your heart ache in the best way. If you love a "if he wanted to, he would" kind of man, Hudson is the standard.
