Mood Swings and Hockey Flings (Hot Flash Hookups Series) by Sylyvie Stewart and Marika Ray – Review by Jessica Stone

Oh man! This book was so fun, so total transparency, I have not read the previous book in this series, but rest assured after getting a few chapters in I, to my complete delight discovered this book could in fact be read alone. And I’m so glad it could, this was my first hockey rom com and it felt soooo good! I’m so excited to dive into this series more and into this genre more.

The chemistry between the two main characters was absolutely palpable, tension so thick you could cut it with a butter knife. Let’s start of with Kaitlyn with a K, I was a bit worried she was going to be a soulless, work to live live to work type, but I was so happy to get to know the girl underneath her stone cold facade. And I fully squealed when she got her HEA.

Now Ben, or should I set Bennett, oh boy, I think I’ve loved him since the moment i read him penned on those pages. His sense of humor and general nonchalance is weirdly endearing. I loved his character arc, and his final admirable to his feelings, his character blossomed SO hard in this book. And it was everything i needed.

So throw these two interesting characters together in a force proximity/reluctance situation and you get pure magic. Add a splash of hockey, the love of the game, rivalry, heavy atmosphere, and it’s complete as one of the best rom com’s I’ve read in a good while.
