The Penalty Box by Rebecca Zorg was a fun, entertaining hockey romance with plenty of chemistry, tension, and emotional moments. I really enjoyed the enemies-to-lovers dynamic between FMC Ivy and MMC Gabriel and watching their complicated relationship develop. Their history added an extra layer to the story, making the slow-burn romance even more satisfying. Ivy is a strong heroine, and Gabriel has plenty of charm to keep things interesting. The combination of hockey, romance, angst, and forced proximity made this an easy and enjoyable read. I especially liked seeing the characters work through their past while figuring out what they truly wanted. Overall, The Penalty Box was an enjoyable hockey romance with great chemistry, emotional baggage, and a satisfying romance.
