Saving the Game

The chemistry is so palpable, but I wonder how much effort went into making the romance feel authentic beyond the heat. Did the author aim for a perfect mix or let it evolve naturally?

The detailed hockey elements made the story stand out, but I was curious if the author faced any obstacles in portraying the sport accurately while keeping the romance front and center.

It felt like a fresh take within the hockey romance genre. I'm interested in whether this was a personal favorite trope of the author or if it emerged naturally during writing.
