She gets ditched by him and ends up as a personal assistant to Jamie Streicher who moved to the Vancouver hockey team to support the mental heath of his mother. I was pleasantly surprised to find there was no third-act breakup, but that's probably because it took all that time to get together so by the time they were together there were only 50 pages of the book left.

Pippa and Jamie’s story instantly grabs you, and with an entertaining background cast of team mates and friends I cannot wait to read more from this series in the future. Jamie is always doing things for people and being strong for those he loves, he never asks for help. Jamie is a professional hockey player who recently relocated back home from New York in a bid to be closer to his mom to support her.however, it did feel like *something* was missing - some level of angst or drama that was constantly propelling the story forward. Hello, there are currently 2 listings for my book, 1 under my name and 1 under another author with the same pen name. In this grumpy-sunshine set-up, professional star hockey goalie Jamie (infinitely grouchy, rude, in desperate need of therapy) inadvertently hires Pippa, his old high school crush (a happy-go-lucky musician with a confidence problem) as his live-in assistant in Vancouver.

I really could not get enough of Pippa and Jamie, this book quickly became one of my favourites and I can’t wait to read the next book, which I gratefully received as an ARC.

Stephanie Archer brings the heat in her Queen’s Cove series and this first book in a hockey romance series is no exception. Same soft, musical voice that I’d strain to hear back in high school while she was talking and laughing with the other band kids. While the relationship might be ‘fake’ on paper, it never is for Rory, who’s pined after Hazel ever since she tutored him back in high school.

It was the cutest and sexiest love story … Jamie was the grumpy sweetheart of my dreams and Pippa gainning her comfidence back thanks to his care and love was all i asked for. Jamie, also stepping way out of his comfort zone, letting Pippa in and opening his life to her was such amazing character development. Archer introduced a great cast of characters in the teammates Jamie has, and they are going to be perfect additions for future novels.
