More maturity and development needed.Įlli is a photographer and a huge (and I mean HUGE) hockey fan. Save your time and money, stay away from this book and author. This book broke my mood and now on to different and definitely better. Okay, I was so in a sports mood and had read like 5 straight. Too many good books out there and this was pure tripe. Sounded more like conversations between the cheerleaders rather than a group of guys - come on. No drifting to the neck, no nose touching, no whispering breath, nothing - GIVE ME A FRICKING BREAK!! And, the interactions between the hockey players was ball-less.

And, if you don't use tongue, how can you describe the kiss as the best you've ever had - closed lips, mouth only. And his constant, 'I want to spend all my time with her'. Her constant 'why do you want to be with me'. Can you really describe someone who wears a size 10 as fat or even 'curvy'. What was not okay was the hokey dialogue and the h's constant 'gratefulness' for the H paying attention and wanting to be with her. Well, we've all read stories where this plot line has been done and been okay with it. Like watching my 5 year old grand-daughter play Barbies.'you love me, oh.

He takes one look at her and falls immediately into LOVE. She is a huge hockey fan and becomes the team photographer where she meets 'the' hockey player. You have a women who is very insecure about herself due to a bad relationship and a piss poor family dynamic. Also, the author writes very insecure characters. Why wasn't it? An immature writing style by the author. The premise for this story is sound, although not original, but still, could have been good. If I could give this fewer stars, I would. I don't think I'll be continuing with the series unless someone can tell me the writing improves in leaps and bounds. No, I'm sorry my GR friends, but this was not a good read for me.

Harper and Jakob's romance was more interesting than Elli and Shea's, and they pretty much took the back seat. Then what he does at the management classes buddy.just sayin' and while you're at it maybe AA too! Oh, and Shea kisses on the cheek making loud smacking noises.every single time, okay we get it, he's a loud kisser.enough! I never felt any chemistry between Elli and Shea or connection to them, the sex was robotic, the dialogue was stilted, and the story didn't flow and went on forever.at least 300 pages too long! I skimmed a lot. Shea should have running screaming and left Elli to wallow in her self-pity and accusations.GAAAAAAHHH! For that matter he wasn't much better. Towards the end of the book, I felt like it was an endless loop of the same thing happening over and over again. I felt sorry for her at first, but then boy, was she ever annoying. This story was all over the place and I couldn't stand Elli. 1 Star! I was bored to tears and so disappointed!
