Blurb:

“All night you’ve looked like a tiger, needing to be caught, tamed, and used.” Mark has been a single dad for a long time. That is until he meets Rebecca at a Halloween costume party when he realizes how much he’s been missing out on. Now he needs her in his life, even if that means just watching her. After a lot of self-healing, Rebecca has emerged as the fierce woman she’s always hoped to become. Despite playing the field, she can’t help but develop a massive crush on a mysterious masked cosplayer. Mark drives her crazy, in and out of the bedroom. She finds herself lowering her defenses, allowing herself to be vulnerable, and falling for him. When their pasts resurface, it threatens to tear them apart. Can they move forward at any cost?

The Good:

* I absolutely loved the female friendships in this book. It reminds me a lot of my own and how we talk about dating and relationships. The girl power vibes are strong.

* Tanya knows how to write spice and keep it interesting. This book is chock full of spice but somehow it doesn’t get old. There’s always something wild happening in the spice scenes.

* Mark is one of theeeee yummiest MMCs, especially if you’re into the he falls first/older man/age gap/touch her and die tropes. Bring all of your daddy issues to Mark and lay them at his feet.

* I appreciated the plot line of the FMC working through some past relationship trauma/baggage that’s causing her trepidation about settling down. I don’t think it’s very common for anyone to talk about that from a female perspective.

The Meh: 

* Some of the writing felt a little redundant or like it was “filler” wording. It wasn’t terrible, nothing a fantastic editor couldn’t fix.

* I wish that the supporting characters were a little more fleshed out, the only one that I really connected with was Abbie but I didn’t feel as though I really “got to know” the others

Bottom Line: 

Overall, this book was enjoyable to read. I’ve never read a hockey romance before and this one is hella spicy. There’s tons on shameless kink and carefree exploration of it. There was a plot twist that I did not see coming at all, it totally threw me for a loop. The love story will definitely keep you on your toes. I think that Tanya Lynn shows a ton of promise. This author knows how to write spice and doesn’t shy away from anything. If she ever decides to dip her toe into some morally black/dark romance, I will be the first in line for that. I think she could do it so incredibly well.
