The Rival

The tension built up so well, but I wondered if the romance felt believable or a bit exaggerated. What did others think about their connection?

The pacing between hockey games and intimate moments was seamless, but I’m curious whether that was a deliberate choice or just natural storytelling flow.

The detailed depiction of the sport made the stakes feel real, and I wonder if the author has a personal connection to hockey or did research for authenticity.
