Well, well, well… Adam Lockwood definitely did not disappoint. I loved him from the first book, but even more so after reading this book. He’s probably my favorite in the Vancouver Vipers hockey team (sorry, Carter ✌️).

One thing that resonated with me the most in this book was how relatable Rosie’s thoughts and feelings were. Her journey to overcome her fears and hesitations so she can give herself and her son a better life is truly inspiring.

Adam and Rosie felt like two pieces of a puzzle, everything just fell into place the moment they found each other. And I couldn’t be any happier because they both deserve all the love in the world πŸ’–

I genuinely wanted this to be a new favorite, but I just felt that something was missing from the delivery of the whole story. Don’t get me wrong, I liked it and I enjoyed it overall but that emotional spark and connection I was hoping for just didn’t hit me right in the feels the way I wanted it to πŸ₯Ί Anyhow, three books down and two more to go in this series! πŸ’β›ΈοΈ

Rating: 3.5 stars

BOOK BLURB:

In the sizzling hockey romance that has taken TikTok by storm, the star goalie discovers the family he’s always wanted when he falls in love with a single mother.

The third book in the globally popular Playing for Keeps series.

Can he leave the past behind to forge the future he’s always wanted?

When it comes to dating, Adam Lockwood wouldn’t know luck if it hit him in the face. After a failed relationship and a string of dates gone wrong, the thought of being vulnerable with someone is terrifyingβ€”most women only see his fame. But when his dog runs into Rosie Wells, a beautiful woman with a blush as pink as her hair, she doesn’t seem to have a clue who he is, and Adam seizes the opportunity as a chance to finally be himself.

Rosie has her hands full as a single mother and fourth-year veterinary student, and she certainly wouldn’t know a hockey player if she ran into one. She doesn’t have time to date, and she’s fiercely protective of her little family. But when a chance encounter leads her to Adam, she knows it’s worth risking her heart.

The only problem? Adam is used to wearing a maskβ€”he’s a goalie, after all. And as he holds onto a secret that threatens to unravel him and destroy his new family, they’re both at risk of losing more than ever before.
