About this deal
Stephanie Archer brings the heat in her Queen’s Cove series and this first book in a hockey romance series is no exception. And also sincerely, I’m tired of female characters who don’t have good sex lives before meeting the H.
For instance, Jamie’s near-constant use of Pippa’s “songbird” and “pretty assistant” nicknames gave me such an intense physical ick I almost chucked my Kindle into the sea.

I have to warn people though that this book is heavy on the insta-love and is quite cliche at times! I really could not get enough of Pippa and Jamie, this book quickly became one of my favourites and I can’t wait to read the next book, which I gratefully received as an ARC. Alas, the publishing industry’s insistence on marketing smutty rom-com books with YA-looking artwork continues, and the first two books in Archer’s new ‘Vancouver Storm’ series are no different: Behind the Net, a grumpy-sunshine love story between a star hockey goalie and his assistant; and its sequel, The Fake Out, with a fake dating scenario between another player and the hockey team’s physical therapist.
Loved the steamy scenes in this book especially when he was trying to help her…you know what ☺️ for the first time.They used to go to highschool together 8 years ago, her two years younger than him, a music nerd-band kid, him a popular hockey kid!
