It wasn't that terrible, but I feel like Tessa Bailey's books have lost their appeal for me lately. I heard Tessa talk about writing a hockey book, or novella, over a year ago so when I saw that she had finally decided to publish this type of story, I really wanted to give it a try. As you may have noticed, picking up this book wasn't my best decision. At least it was short, so I finished it quickly. If this had been a full-length novel, there was no way I could have finished it. 


The writing and the cringy smut are the main reasons why my rating is so low. I literally had to skip the last scene because I couldn't do this to myself. The dirty talk was not it. At all. 

The two stars are because there were two things I quite liked here. Surprisingly. The first thing is that our hero was obsessed with the heroine. I’m always eating it up. Especially when he's like this. 


  
    "How is everything in the world not canceled right now? Are people still traveling, going to work, and eating in restaurants when my wife looks this hot?"
  


The second and last thing is that there was no insta lust, or love here. Having read some Tessa's books, I pretty much expected it here, and was surprised when the "I love you" confession came after like nine months. There were a lot of time jumps, so it might have seemed like the confession came quickly, but it was a novella, a smutty novella, so I was pleasantly surprised that it happened after such a long time and not after, say, a week. Like in one of Tessa's books.


I think I need to take a break from this author's books for a while. At least I hope I do, because usually my resolutions like this don't last very long. In overall, unfortunately, I don’t recommend.
