Rating: 3.5 Stars

I started this series with book 4, but have been wanting to circle back, because I have grown to love all these guys so much and really wanted to get to know them better.

This was a solid start to the series, which I think has gotten better. It was fun and sexy and had a nice dose of drama mixed with lots of laughs. The standout for me was Duper. I liked Dupree in later books, but I adored him in this one.

I liked Lovey enough, and will admit, she grew on me. I do think she evolved over the course of the book, and I understand that the whole time was a period of growth for her, as she left her home, her job, her boyfriend, and was starting anew.

A super strong and sweet ending left me with a huge smile, and I look forward to reading more of the Aces books.

Lovey arrives at her brother Duncan's apartment without a notice that she's moving. This frustrates Duncan but he welcomes her into his apartment with the promise that she will find an apartment and move. Lovey wasn't expecting to meet Marc, Duncan's teammate and roommate. Sparks start flying but they know they have to keep things in the low because Duncan cannot find out.

This was an entertaining read and a good start to the series. I was expecting more of it but it was good nonetheless. The romance was sweet and very steamy between Lovey and Marc. In this story, we see Marc as the sweet and reserved character while Lovey is the wild one. There were times where I really wanted to hit Lovey. She turned out to be irritating and annoying most of the time and I didn't agree with some of her decisions. On the other hand, I loved Marc. He is loyal to those he loves and is a great friend. If you're looking for a sports book, this book didn't quite highlight that aspect of it. It was focused more on the romance and friendship than any talk of sports at all.

If you are into sweet and hot romance, barely any drama and a sport book where you won't get confused since there's no talk about the sport, then this one is for you.

I almost gave up on this book. ALMOST. Initially, I thought "Oh a sports romance!! Hooray!" because I love sports romance. I struggled with Lovey though. She is very shallow, self centered and immature. It was hard to want a good guy like Marc to fall for her. I LOVED Marc. A hockey player who ISN'T a man whore! Woohoo!!! He is everything Lovey isn't-he is thoughtful, concerned for his teammates, and giving of him time to those in need. I knew he could make Lovey a better person, but I wanted someone who was worthy of him. So, I almost gave up. But, I hate giving up on a book. So, I kept going. By the end, I was glad I did. Lovey does become a better person and for that I am glad. Marc stays amazing and I am really looking forward to Duncan's book (not sure when that will be!). I actually kind of liked all the guys on the team. They seem very mature and mostly focused. They aren't a team full of party boys who act like frat brothers. It was refreshing for a sports romance. So many books in this genre go to that stereotype so I applaud Kelly Jamieson for that!

I’m a big fan of Kelly Jamieson and hockey romances, so I was thrilled to read her first book in the Aces Hockey series and I’m happy to say, I enjoyed everything about this enchanting romance that is both sweet and sexy. The story is entertaining and also has genuine characters with multiple layers that are easy to connect with.

The story revolves around the players on the Aces hockey team in Chicago and in particular Marc Dupuis. Marc is the captain of the team and has the reputation of being cautious, series and responsible. These attributes make him a good leader for the team, but he needs a little more fun in his life. Everything changes when he meets Lovey Armstrong, his teammate’s little sister. Once he sees her, he can’t seem to think straight and she has him twisted up in knots. Lovey’s brother, Duncan has warned all his teammates to stay away from his sister and Marc really does try, but Lovey makes it impossible. Marc and Lovey are great together. Marc is quiet and careful and Lovey is fun loving, flighty and outgoing. She is kind of a dork, and has a lot of silly expressions that she uses throughout the book. Marc and Lovey are total opposites, but sometimes opposites attract. There is a lot of chemistry between these two as they try to spend time together without anyone knowing. Lovey’s brother Duncan is so protective of her, it is cute, but I can understand how it would annoy Lovey. I really like Marc. He is loyal and protective of everyone he cares about and he is always so sweet to Lovey. He also has a sexy French accent and Lovey finds it impossible to resist him when he speaks to her in French. He’s a nice guy, although a little insecure about woman, but smoking hot in the bedroom.


There are also engaging secondary characters that add more fun to this story. The guys on the hockey team love to give each other a hard time and of course, everyone has a nickname. I look forward to reading more stories about the players on the team in future books in this series. It’s exciting to find a new series that is satisfying and hard to put down.
