Review
I received an Advance Reader Copy from the publisher via NetGalley. This in no way impacted on my view.
Returning her student to their father who's running late should be easy, and definitely should not result in a hospital stay, but nothing in Coccinelle Charmaine's life. Taking a puck to the head has put a stop to her figure skating training, at least for now, and Coco is running out of time to save enough to try out for the Olympic team. Luckily the man who caused her to be in hospital is star hockey player Logan Rivers, who has fallen head over heels for her, and also believes she is his good luck charm. But being asked to be a good luck charm, and paid for it, while developing feelings, is hard for Coco to contend with.
This was an enjoyable book, but nothing really stood out for me. I liked Coco and Logan's romance, but it was both slow and a little lacklustre at times. It wasn't the longest book, but it did drag at times. Not much really happened, and there was an obvious third act breakup which I did have to roll my eyes at. Even so, I did enjoy it, and I'm definitely intrigued with the romance brewing between two secondary characters, so I'll probably read book 2.
