Perfect for you if...

You love sports romance with genuine banter and chemistry that builds slowly over friendship rather than instant attraction.
You're drawn to Hunter's vulnerability beneath his cocky exterior and want to see a player actually commit to one person.
You've read other Briar U books and want to revisit the campus, though this works perfectly as a standalone.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer your romance without the messy friend-zone negotiations and would rather skip past the 'will they, won't they' tension.
You're looking for a quick steam read. This is character-driven and takes time building the relationship from friendship to something more.
You don't enjoy hockey romance or books where the male lead has slept around extensively in his past.

About this book

A standalone novel in the Briar U series. Hunter Davenport, the new hockey team captain, commits to focusing on hockey and school after the previous season's failures cost his team. He decides to avoid romantic involvement, but forms a friendship with his new classmate Demi Davis. When Demi becomes single after three months, she pursues Hunter romantically. Hunter believes a relationship between them would not work due to their different backgrounds, misaligned goals, and her parents' disapproval of him. However, he and Demi are assigned to work together on a yearlong school project, making avoidance difficult. Hunter struggles to maintain his commitment to staying celibate as he confronts his growing feelings for her.
