Synopsis

Eighteen-year-old NHL player Logan Balanchuk came to Corrigan Falls to distract himself from his career-ending injury. He doesn't want to even hear the word "hockey," so when he meets Dawn, a beautiful, free-spirited girl who goes skinny-dipping instead of watching the draft, he's intrigued. Neither of them is looking for anything serious, anyway.

Dawn is happy to be a distraction, happy to have an adventurous summer romance with the dashing guy from the big city. She's busy working three jobs and counting the days until she can move away from her tiny, hockey-obsessed town. Plus, she's already done her time as a hockey player's girlfriend—now she wants to live her own life and have her own adventures. But as things heat up with Logan, she realizes they aren't as no-strings-attached as she thought . . .

About Cate Cameron

Cate Cameron grew up in the city but moved to the country in her mid-twenties and isn't looking back. Most of her writing deals with people living and loving in small towns or right out in the sticks-when there aren't entertainment options on every corner, other people get a lot more interesting! She likes to write stories about real people struggling with real issues. YA, NA, or contemporary romance, her books are connected by their emphasis on subtle humor and characters who are trying to do the right thing, even when it would be a lot easier to do something wrong.

Rating: 3.5 Stars This book was a fun and sweet read, and an interesting look at what it's like to be the hockey girlfriend. Dawn was a little angsty as she was facing so many life changes and feeling a little "undefined". Until a few months ago, she had be a hockey girlfriend, but she left that life......more

Actual Rating: 3.5 This was an enjoyable read. This book was cute and adorable. I did not think it was as good as the last two books, but it was still great.

This book was so bad. My personal enjoyment-I mean I didn't absolutely hate reading this, but I got bored at some points Plot-Nothing happened this entire book. And I had some major problems with the little that did happen. First off it's instant love, which I don't hate, but it's not my favorite, bu......more
