I like seeing another romance between two hockey players. Callan and Aria had good chemistry and would get to know each other which is nice to see. But the plotting also felt a little jumpy and I never fully connected to the characters.
Generally, I like the Moo U books, but why do so many of them have a dad that was in the NHL? How realistic is that? Moving on.
Callan was a pretty good guy. He actually didn’t react the way I expected in a lot of situations. He also had the opportunity to take advantage of Aria and didn’t. Aria has some family drama going on. I’m not sure how much I bought that situation impacting her like it did.
The romance was good. There’s definitely chemistry between Callan and Aria. The pacing was a little weird. It wasn’t fast or slow. Instead there were time jumps that caused me to be confused about the status of their relationships. Oh, there’s some fake dating in this, too. The romance conflict was very predictable and also resolved too fast in my opinion.
In the end, this was constantly bouncing between 3 and 4 stars. If I still did half stars, it would probably be a 3.5. So a 4 it gets. And I would probably read another Sierra Hill book, but not right now.
Thanks for reading!
