As a fan of sports romance, Rachel Gibson is an author I'm referred to often and with good reason. If you're a newer fan of the subgenre, you may not have read her classic SEE JANE SCORE, and she may be a new author to you. The good news is that you now have a new back catalog to binge read since she is a delight.

This book is no exception. It's preposterous, and ridiculous, and quirky, and all the things a good rom-com is on screen, this is just on the page. I loved the characters and how they articulated their motivations and grew both in their own skins and towards each other.

If you're looking for a delightful hockey romance, one-click this one now.

Running in five-inch stilettos is an art form Leaving your fiancé at the altar on live television is a disaster. Lexie Kowalsky thought she was ready to get married in front of millions of people, but at the last minute she fled the set of television’s hottest reality show, Gettin’ Hitched. Wearing a poofy white dress and a pair of five-inch sparkly shoes, Lexie hopped a float plane for Sandspit, Canada. She figured no one would find her there. But she was wrong. Sharing her flight was the Seattle Chinooks biggest star, Sean Knox. Lexie wasn’t just a reality-show runaway, she was his pain in the butt coach’s daughter. She was chaos and temptation and definitely off limits, but getting her luscious body out of that wedding gown, he couldn’t resist getting her in his bed for one amazing night. Then a photo of Sean and Lexi breaks the internet—and suddenly they’re both swept up in a crazy plan to spin the whole story. But you can’t run from love—
