Aven has been planning Matt and Holly's story for such a long time that before I even started reading this book I felt like I already knew them. We have met both characters before in the earlier books in the season but their story doesn't really start until this book.
Matt is one of the youngest hockey players in the league. He never got a chance to grow up before he hit the big time so he as unwillingly become a role model. On the outside Matt looks like party guy who spends every evening with a different girl but deep down Matt is just scared. He's scared to let anyone in because he has been hurt in the past by the two people who are supposed to love you more than anything in the world.
Holly is a bookworm who dreams of nothing more than being an author. She knows that this is going to be a long, tough road but she also has the determination to make it. Holly seems like the compete opposite of Matt. She's an introvert, she hates parties and loves nothing more than to curl up with a good book in her Ravenclaw t-shirt, her yoga pants and her striped socks.
Aven's writing will have you hooked from the first paragraph and as you would expect if you have read any of her other books some very funny scenes that will give you tears of laughter.
I have been a fan of Aven's writing since her first book and she gets better with each story. Every time I think that she has just written her best book yet she tops it with another. Keep your eyes peeled for Sugar and Ice which is out at the end of the month.
