I can't get enough of reading hockey romance stories written by author Cassandra Carr and I have to admit, I don't really watch this sport. This author has managed to get me hooked with her amazing storytelling and likeable characters. Underneath It All is Rob's story and I've been dying for him to get his own since first meeting him in Should've Known Better as Sebastian's roommate and team mate. We all got to see Rob as the carefree and funny guy in book 1 of this series, but in this one, another side emerges that is so endearing. He shows that he is not just a dumb, selfish hockey player when he agrees to do a reading for kindergarten kids at an inner school. Here, Rob truly shows his more sensitive, kindhearted and tender side who wants to makes a difference in the lives of these underprivileged kids. He sure had his work cut out for him when he first met Alaina, the standoffish teacher who stereotyped him without thought. She soon saw the error of her ways when she got to know him better. Their relationship developed slowly over time and it was nice seeing them do normal things and having real life issues to deal with. I adored Rob and loved seeing his friendship with Sebastian and Sarah heavily written in this story. I enjoyed all the action of the hockey games and glimpses of the other Storm players. I am so looking forward to reading more stories in this series.
