Fair Play

The detailed depiction of hockey culture added a layer of authenticity I loved. I'm curious whether the sport was chosen first or if the characters' love story shaped the setting.

Their banter and tension really drew me in, but I wondered if that chemistry was something the author carefully crafted or if it naturally evolved during writing.

The scenes felt charged yet respectful, which is a hard line to walk. I'm interested in how the author decided where to draw that line to keep the story engaging without crossing into steamy territory.
