This book was received from Inkslinger PR in exchange for an honest review.Basically if a book mentions a sexy hockey player, I’m sold. Completely sold. It’s my weakness!December Howard is a really strong woman. She basically has two gigantic blow dealt to her in such a short amount of time that I couldn’t blame her insecurities and her indecisiveness. She had a hard time trusting anyone, even when that person would do absolutely anything for her, she just didn’t know it. But I loved when she finally wised up and make the best decision she could ever make.Josh Walker is a sexy hockey god. He used to be a player in high school but when Ember meets up with him five years later, he is a changed man. He is really sweet when Ember is dealing with the horrible events in her life, and he is the person who helps her pick up the pieces. He is hiding a secret from her, but he just doesn’t really want to lose her. Goodness I loved him!Ember’s mother, although she went through a horrific episode, was catatonic for half of the book. She needed to be there for her children and I’m glad that she realized that and stepped up. Sam was a great best friend and I’d love to see a book about Jagger, Josh’s roommate.The plot, a parent who dies, is something I’ve read about in new adult before. But for me, this book had a different spin on it for me. I really enjoyed it. The romance was cute. I kind of, at times, felt that it moved a smidgen too fast, given what happened to Ember. I am glad at time direction it took though. Very adorable!As I said before, I’d love to see a companion novel about Jagger. Pretty please, Rebecca?Favorite Swoon-worthy Quote: He leisurely took my face in his hands, brushing back the stray strands of auburn hair. He examined every curve and line of my face, his eyes skimming over my cheekbones, pausing at my eyes, lingering on my mouth. Then he took my mouth the way I needed him to. His lips moved in delicious ways that had me instantly ready for him. He slanted my head to gain better access, and all I could do was concentrate on not collapsing. He kept his hands on my face, but I craved them on every inch of my skin.Rating: 4/5 Tar Heels!
