Defensive Hearts

The mix of intense sports scenes and romantic conflict felt seamless. I'm curious if this balance was planned from the start or evolved during writing.

Their banter and tension kept me hooked, but I wondered if their animosity made the romance feel more genuine or if it was a tricky line to walk.

The adrenaline and team dynamics added so much flavor. I wonder if the author is a hockey fan or did research influence the vivid depiction of the sport.
