Boarded Hearts

The story seamlessly weaves romance with sports, but I wonder if the sport was planned as a backdrop from the start or evolved during writing.

The on-ice moments felt charged with emotion, making me root for both their relationship and their team. Am I the only one who wanted more game details?

It created a cozy yet competitive atmosphere that really drove the story forward. I'm curious whether the author has a personal connection to hockey or chose it for its narrative potential.
