OUR REVIEW:
It's been a minute since I've been in this Lana Ferguson universe, but once I remembered who Jack and Abby were, I settled in and enjoyed the journey. On the surface, Jack and Abby couldn't be more different: Jack is a smiley, happy, jokester while Abby is a serious, snarky, more solemn character; however, as we get to know them, we understand that they're both pretty tender and sweet. Both of them hide their more vulnerable interiors behind their exteriors for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is that it's what they've been doing for a while. As they get to know each other, they begin to feel safe with each other, sharing things they wouldn't normally which allows them to begin to trust each other and genuinely like each other.
I enjoyed Abby and Jack and their banter, their chemistry, and the overall development of their romance. This was a quick and fun read. I wonder if we'll get another book in this series? Here's to hoping.

SYNOPSIS:
A hockey player and a grad student are on thin ice until they meet their match in this sexy romance by USA Today bestselling author Lana Ferguson.
Jack Baker is on top of the world now that he’s back on the rink where he belongs. But the high comes crashing down when he reinjures his arm immediately following his return to the ice, and this time, he might never be able to play again. After a lifetime as the strong, happy hockey guy whose sister needed him, Jack is left questioning everything he knows about himself.
Abigail Thompson feels like she’s hit rock bottom. It’s only been a few months since the massive scandal that finally severed the cord between her and her narcissistic father. And now, in her last weeks of grad school, she’s been kicked out of her building with very short notice. The last thing she wants to do is ask her half-brother for help after what she’s put him through, but it’s looking like his best friend’s spare room might be her only choice.
Jack is flighty, flirty, and a little full of himself—all the things Abby’s learned to avoid in men. However, spending every day together breaks the ice between them, and she starts to realize that Jack might not be who he seems. It’s possible that maybe, just maybe, he might be struggling as much as she is. Soon, confiding in each other leads to falling into bed, and this fling will either play with their hearts—or score them the ultimate goal of love.
