Next up from my library stack (digital edition). CRUSHED ICE is really good so far, despite Casey‘s hangdog expression. One of the leads is from Winnipeg, but the scenes set here didn‘t give me the sense either Kane or James knows the city. We‘ll see if some more local colour kicks in on Russ‘s next visit to his family.
pick4.2⭐️ I had assumed that WAG was talking about the dog on the cover of the book, it was not it stands for, wives and girlfriends. I also realize that this was book 2, thinking I did not own book one I kept reading it only to find out… I do have book 1. Doesn‘t matter, as it does well as a standalone. Overall, this was a super cute and fun/fast read. I do plan to continue the series… Going back to book one… Lol.

Wildfire by Hannah Grace was a cute, medium-paced romance. The beginning and end pulled me in, though the middle dragged a bit. Predictable but still enjoyable, with sweet chemistry between the characters. Spice level about a 3.5—steamy enough without overshadowing the story. A cozy, comforting read if you like your romances familiar but fun.
I just finished rewatching TED LASSO and it left me in the mood for MORE SPORTS. I‘ve had ON THE ICE lingering on my Kobo for ages since I wasn‘t wild about another of Amy Aislin‘s books, and I figured I might as well give it a try while I‘m in this mood. It‘s much sparklier than the other one! I do find the excessive American college talk grating, as always (and especially from non-American authors), but the character dynamics are great. Yay!

Premise: A young player struggles with a crush on the team‘s physiotherapist.
Review: The diminishing returns with this series continue here. This is a perfectly serviceable romance, but doesn‘t do anything other than tick off the boxes.
bailed50 pages about who in town likes hockey and how much. I'm not digging it (spoiler alert: the girl doesn't like hockey 🙄)
