Roman

The blend of sports and romance feels fresh here. I'm curious whether the author has personal experience with hockey or if it was purely fictional world-building.

Their banter and tension kept me hooked, but I wondered if the author intentionally left some of their deeper feelings hinted at rather than fully explored.

The pacing felt well-managed, but I wonder if the sports action was planned to serve as a backdrop to the relationship or if it evolved during writing.
