The Love Penalty

The banter and funny moments made the story so lively, but I also felt the emotional stakes were genuine. I'm curious how the author approached blending these tones.

The tension was palpable, but I wondered if the transition to their romantic connection could have been more gradual. What did others think about the pacing of their relationship?

The sports backdrop added a dynamic layer to the characters' interactions. I'm curious whether the author has personal experience with hockey or if it was purely fictional world-building.
