Review: Fresh and witty!

This little tome was my first hockey romance book I've come across, but it probably won't be the last!  What I liked best about the story of Kate and Hank was how it combines classic elements of both romance and sports stories.  Each love the game, and they love each other, but only one will be chosen.  Sports and romance stories both have so much inherent action and drama, with two built-in climaxes when the subplots come together.  It's a terrific story notion, and one that plays out with witty flourishes and a spritely narrative.I also liked how the story flashed back and forth in time -- from the present to five years previous and so on.  It's an intriguing device that keeps this story humming right along.  I'd like to see this more often in stories, but not everybody can manage it as well as Cathy Wilson does, so maybe it's just as well that the rest leave it be.  Sure works here!
