Tough Score

The forced proximity setup created some real chemistry, but at times it felt like the tension might be bordering on too much. Did that make anyone else uncomfortable or just more invested?

The sports backdrop added a unique energy to the romance, but I wonder if the author has a personal connection to hockey or if it was purely for the setting's vibe.

The mix of on-ice action and emotional stakes was seamless, but I'm curious if that was something planned from the beginning or evolved during writing.
