Emerson “Emmy” Hartwell finally has achieved her goal of playing in the NHL. She is excited for the opportunity, but is ready to keep her distance from her teammates, especially the captain Maverick Miller. Maverick is known for being a player off the ice and Emmy is adamant that she will not date another hockey player. 

Maverick is instantly drawn to Emmy though despite her prickly personality. After a rough start to the season, the two hook up and the team starts to win. The two continue and slowly start to blur the lines between friends with benefits and dating. Emmy starts to learn Maverick is not the cocky player she thought he was and she cannot help but fall for him. 

Maverick and Emmy were so gentle with each other and I loved getting to see their story unfold. I loved every minute of this book and I highly recommend you go pick it up right now!

This was my first book by Chelsea Curto and I cannot wait to read more!
