Synopsis

Elle Van Helsing wants to start her life away from home. Constantly living under the shadow of her brother, she plans to find romance and survive on her own: even if its financially harder than she thought. Getting a job at a dive bar three doors down from her new place is the perfect solution. Well, it was, until the owner has a family emergency and asks his nephew to help out in his absence. The guy she used to have a crush on until he ruined it.

Cal Holt might be a legend on the ice, but off it? He's alone and likes to keep it that way. It's easier to protect himself when he's always a jerk, but the one person who gets under his skin is Elle. Torn between wanting to get to know her and pushing her away, he's surprised when he learns she hates him. She looked at him differently the year before, and now that they're stuck managing a bar for a few weeks, tensions rise.

Complete opposites in every way, they shift from enemies to friends . . . but Cal refuses to fall in love, and Elle deserves more. For the girl who never felt enough and the guy terrified to feel, fear might ruin their chance at finding love.

Contains mature themes.

Goodreads review by Katy on October 18, 2022

I really, really enjoyed reading this. After a certain point I found it hard to put down - it was really cute and fun. Cal was an absolute sweetheart, for all of his grumpy ways; from his plants, to his protectiveness, to the fact he was a bit of an idiot when it came to his feelings - he was just l......more
