Publisher's summary

Once, I knew this girl who sent a video of herself to her brother's best friend…while she was hopped up on pain meds. And he didn’t reciprocate her feelings.

Sounds like a hilarious story, right? WRONG. This really happened…to ME, Melanie Taylor.

That was five years ago, so I’m over it—over him. At least, I thought I was…until West got traded to the D.C. Eagles and moved to the same city as me!

Oh yeah, did I forget to mention my brother’s best friend is Weston Kershaw? An incredibly talented and famous professional hockey player?

Of course, I set out to avoid him completely but end up going to one of his games—against my will, I might add. When I have to face him again all of those stupid butterflies in my stomach return full force.

Except this time, the attraction doesn’t feel so one-sided.

This is a closed-door, dual POV romcom with mild language and innuendo. Trigger warnings: childhood trauma/anxiety.

Sweet Story

This story was like eating a favorite chocolate-sweet and somewhat satisfying. However, it could have used a bit more conflict and depth. But I will listen to this author again. Great voices!

not worth a credit

I get that it’s a short story but it’s very predictable and has no actual character growth or anything that makes this story different or interesting. save your credit.

Cute

It’s a cute quick story that gives a fun background for the rest of the series (which I love). BUT the female voice is HORRIBLE and ruins the story.
