I loved Oakley sm. Hannah writes obsessive men perfectly. And AVA!!!!! Her journey? I loved it. She’s adopted and is dealing with the dynamics between finding her biological mom and how that impacts her and her family. The emotions I felt while reading were 🥹 Unfortunately, this book felt like reading multiple unfinished ideas. The synopsis was misleading. I’m not sure what trope to categorize this under and there were way too many things going on that didn’t go anywhere: Oakley was a SWOON worthy book boyfriend. He was the absolute best. A little birdie told me, we see him again in the next generation series and I. Am. Here. For. That. !! Octavia Layton, the girl unable to move beyond her broken past, fearful of her childhood betrayal following her through her new adult life.Avid Beta readers are not your editor or proof reader and don't expect them to do the grunt work. That's up to you. But they could have spotted a few fleas BEFORE you released the book and helped strengthen your story. I need a shower. Desperately. Before I pass out from a mix of overexertion and dehydration and end up needing my ass carried to the dressing room.~ A cliche is just one of the things to look out for while writing. They can slip in unnoticed and ruin an otherwise great paragraph. Then there's the passive voice, accents, misspelling, typos, incorrect data. The list is long. I have one goal. To be drafted into the NHL and make my father proud. I����ve never been interested in dating, not when all of my spare time is spent at the rink perfecting my craft. There’s no time for distractions. I can’t afford them. Sometimes writers get so involved in the plot they can't see the wood for the trees. Hang on a sec'--th A place to connect writers with Beta readers.

I think I’ve made a mistake by not being more honest with you,” he starts, his voice no more than a husky whisper. First off, a huge thank you to Hanna for sending me a review copy in exchange for an honest review. This has became one of my favourite books now and it deserves more recognition (honestly this is so underrated). I love this book so much!!!

Hanna Cowen takes the reader behind the scenes and gives them a glimpse of what it is like for an NHL player. Maddox has been through a lot throughout his career, especially regarding the draft, finding the best team, and making a name for himself outside his father, who was also an NHL legend. He will do anything it takes to secure a contract with his team. On the other hand, Braxton is willing to do whatever it takes to gain Maddox’s trust and forgiveness for what happened years ago. And if a fake girlfriend is what Maddox needs, she is willing to commit to it. But as expected, the faking concept does not last long since the two have a strong connection that causes them pain when they separate. As a reader, you will enjoy seeing them forced to work through their issues and give each other a second chance at love and relationship.
