I didn’t mean to roast Gio Montagalo, goalie and crown jewel of The Houston Baddies hockey team. Honestly, I was screaming at the TV in a sports bar like any self-respecting sports junkie does when their team is on a losing streak! So when his twin sister sidles up on the stool beside me, laughing at my commentary, I figured I’d made a fan, too. What I didn’t expect? For her brother—the guy I called “a flashy ice peacock with the reflexes of a sloth”—to hear about it.

I gotta admit that the only reason why I have read this book is because it was free on amazon for a kindle which I have been trying to switch to for the past year or so. So I decided to take a shot on this book and see what my opinions about this book would be. 

I need to say that this book wasn’t the worst romance book I have read in my time, because I have read much worse romance books than this one. But I still wasn’t a big fan of this book. I liked this book a fair share but in the end I gotta admit that this book wasn’t that good when I actually started thinking about this book for this review. 

The plot in this book was okay for the most part, but the majority of this plot was very childish in my opinion. The characters in this book behavior was so juvenile like they were teenager despite the fact that all the characters in this book were well over 20 years of age. Which made absolutely made no sense to me.

The plot also started dragging for a very long time very quickly. Which made me almost torturous for me to read this book. Because this book would spend a lot of time talking about stuff which would have been forgotten about from the next chapter until the end of this book.

This book started off well, but the deeper I got into this book the more bored and annoyed I would become at this book. Which really made me consider DNF-ing this book a fair share of times which of course made it very hard for me personally to finish this book. The book really had started going down when the two main characters started dating because it felt like a grade school type of romance because both of them started acting very immature and cringy with each other which had really put me off by a lot.

The dialogues in this book were trying way too hard to be funny. To such an extent that it just made it way too cringey to actually be funny in my opinion. 

There is no character differentiation in this book. All of the characters in this book seemed like the same person because everything about them seem to be the same. They talk alike. They think alike. They behave alike. So I had a real hard time trying to separate them and remember who is who in this book. 

The whole theme of this book is hockey, but the actual hockey like hockey matches and hockey training was almost none-existent in this book. Which made me very annoyed and frustrated. Because whats the point of the hockey theme of this book when the actual theme of hockey barely exists in this book? 

The writing style was easily the best aspect of this book, because it was very easygoing and simple. And in a way the writing style made this whole book more fun and enjoyable because my whole interested in this book was existing solely from the writing style of this book.

I Give This Book 2 / 5
