The Secret Play (Pucking Daddies)

The sports action felt authentic without overshadowing the emotional core. I'm curious whether this was a deliberate choice to keep the romance grounded in the game.

The push and pull between them kept me hooked, but at times I wondered if the emotional stakes could have been even higher. What moments made others feel the most invested?

The winter sports backdrop added a unique charm, and I'd love to know if the author has a personal connection to hockey or chose it for its symbolic meaning.
