I liked this book. The heroine is a confident teacher with red hair and freckles. The hero, a professional hockey goalie, is regaining his self confidence after an injury. He is in the middle of a change the terms of the city in which he plays and this creates a genuine conflict. The chemistry between them is hot.The things that make this story not so great is that there are a great deal of serendipity in the story that tests the limits of beliefs in a contempory romance. The running into each other in the city the size of Nashville I can believe. There is just some running into each other families that strain credibility. Other things could have been done with the plot in such a small space instead that would have enhanced the romance. I would have liked for him to have planned to go to her family's bar.I believe that the conflict and angst are real and also could have not been resolved for a bit because of the hero's reluctance to ask and the heroine's reluctance to risk but the five minute clean up was just less than satisfying.I like this couple and this hockey world. I think with their own full sized romance I would have liked the book even more but it was a good fast read on a Friday night.I was given this book for my honest review. So, there you have it.
