Dirty Deal

The depiction of the hockey environment feels authentic and vivid. I'm curious whether the author has a personal connection to the sport or did extensive research to bring it to life.

The banter and tension made the romantic scenes really pop. I wonder if the author intentionally balanced humor with sensuality to keep the story engaging.

The pacing felt just right, with enough hockey scenes to satisfy fans but not overshadow the romance. Was this a deliberate choice to appeal to both audiences?
