review 1: I received a digital copy from Berkley and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. I really enjoyed this novel. It was nice getting to see the player grow up and take relationships seriously. Its rarely that readers get to see an in-depth look at the transition it took to get to the place Trick had to come to in order to realize what a great thing he really had. I also enjoyed that he went after what he wanted instead of giving up on what he would have let go of had he not realized how important Stella really is to him.
review 2: Jaci Burton’s book covers always warm me up, but this novella left me a little frosty.Being a bigger lady who doesn’t have issues with body image, makes it difficult for me to relate to heroines like Stella who are constantly ... morecounting calories and reciting how much activity they need to do in order to burn off what they just ate. Granted, this time it is because Stella is a dancer and needs to keep a super slim build in order to be competitive but honestly, I’m tired of hearing it.I do understand that this is a fictional story but there is a lot of truth in it. Every mention of staying slim, counting calories or judging the amount of food they eat by the exercise to counteract it took me right out of the story. There were some very steamy sex scenes, romance and some hockey in this novella but I couldn’t get past the heroine’s—for lack of a better word—obsession with her weight and counting calories.***I was gifted an eBook copy from the publisher via Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.
