A sweet young adult hockey romance.
She’s got one rule: never date a jock. He’ll do whatever it takes to break it.
When seventeen-year-old Violet is left heartbroken by the captain of her school’s ice hockey team, she vows to never date a jock again. But, in an attempt to prove she’s moved on, she turns to the most unlikely person—her ex’s biggest rival, the notorious captain of the Ransom Devils.
Reed Darling is gorgeous, mysterious and intimidating, both on and off the ice. Wild rumors constantly circulate about him, and the only thing people love to talk about more than his hockey skills are his exploits as a ruthless heartbreaker and bad boy. Who better to serve as Violet’s fake boyfriend until her ex gets the message, right?
But despite the intense rivalry between their two schools and Reed’s infamous reputation, Violet soon starts to wonder if there’s more to him than the gossip suggests. And while she tries her best to control their ‘relationship’ with a list of strict guidelines, Reed has other ideas. He’s set his sights on winning her over and is determined to show Violet he’s not the guy everyone thinks he is.
She should have known better than to make a deal with a devil because this one is going to break all her rules.

First of all, I appreciate that thereâs no smut (theyâre high schoolers so thatâs understandable but we never know), and it was actually very good, voilÃ

I was in a reading slump. Not into the book I was reading and not reading as much as I use to. Cue. Switching to this book and Iâm reading all hours of the day and night. Finished it in two days and was hoping for more from this author! Well written, cute characters! This book was a darling good time!

So stinkin cute!!! A blushing 3.5 star read.
Alexandra Moody is a great author. I ligit JUST realized this was a young adult book as the review popped up! ð𤣠Iâm so glad I didnât know beforehand else I would have missed out on this Uber cute story. Young loveâ¦when the pinnacle of the story is that magical kissâ¦no swearing, no bullying (super low key bullying I should clarify), no adult situations (if you know what I mean) what so ever. Just a clean wholesome feel good story. I loved it and glad I happened on it. Looking forward to Graysâ story!

Cute Story
Didn’t think i’d like it as much as I did but really cute story. Noo ð¶ï¸ but that’s to be excepted since it was a story about high schoolers. Loved the characters and can’t wait to the second book ð¥°

Super Cute
This was such a fun lighthearted read. The characters were absolutely adorable and i loved reading about them.while i normally deeply dislike reading about high schoolers in romance novels, this one did such a good job i completely forgot about their age most of the time.this a cutesty YA read with good humor, minor conflict, and very lovable characters.i will say there were certain things i disliked. like the introduction of side characters only to not build them up and give them no resolution i.e., Violetâs mom. other than that though i have no complaints. the writing syle was good, dialogue sounded like real ppl speaking to each other, and there was no mention of outdated or cringy teen lingo. (as well as not tik tok mention which always is a plus in my book)anyways, final thoughts: Wonderful

Cute, Clean, and Cringey
âï¸âï¸âï¸/No ð¶ï¸/ I was stuck on whether this should be a three or four star read, but when Iâm racking my brain on what was good about it, I knew this was just an average three star read. These kids were cute. The scenes were clean. Most of all, there was too much cringe. I canât imagine being serious about your college hockey career and then interrupting a big game just to randomly start figure skating. It was too immature, I get these are high school kids, and Iâm way too old now, but it was so cringey to read about especially as a hockey romance fan. The kisses were cute and theyâll probably end up being high school sweethearts, but I wasnât remotely convinced about their chemistry. He loved her so much, but she really had her own unresolved issues to deal with. The whole thing was just immature and it annoyed me to read the hockey play-by-play, therefore three stars. I highly recommend if youâre looking for a meet cute, friends to lovers kinda, fake dating, school rivalries, and high school kids who squeal about kissing and hand holding as if theyâve never had the talk before in their life.

It was a bit back and forth but the story was super cute. Have the time Iâm screaming at the book or more at Reed to just tell her how you feel.
