My Phony Valentine

The setup is familiar, but the characters' chemistry and the hockey backdrop add unique flavor. I wonder what inspired this particular twist on a classic trope.

The lighthearted moments made me smile, but the heartfelt scenes really hit home. Was this balance something the author aimed for intentionally?

The sports backdrop added a fun, energetic vibe, but I’m curious if the author has a personal connection to hockey or if it was chosen for its romantic appeal.
