Full Review by cfarnsworth0614
I’m a day late on this review since I signed up for the ARC day before the deadline.
I have mixed feelings about this one. Gabriel doesn’t recognize Ivy from their past. Ivy is angry about the direction her life took thanks to Gabriel’s actions. When Gabriel realizes what he did, he shuts down. Eventually, they work together to bring down the people pulling Gabriel’s strings and live HEA.
I feel like this book was more narration than anything else. I skimmed chunks of pages at a time. The dialogue was limited and what was there was stilted. Other than a few heated exchanges, the main characters had very little interaction before Gabriel realized he was in love with Ivy. The book doesn’t even really say why he loved her particular after a 20 minute interaction years prior and the hatred she directed at him all the time. Gabriel had little to no personality. Ivy, while understandable, was just mean to him most of the time.
Not my favorite hockey romance.
