The Penalty Shot

The chemistry was so intense, I wondered if the author intentionally cranked up the heat through subtle glances or if it just naturally built over the story.

The sports backdrop added a layer of adrenaline, but I'm curious how much research went into capturing the real atmosphere of hockey games and locker rooms.

The slow build was promising, but at times the transition from friends to lovers felt a bit quick. Did others wish for more development there?
