Night Sweats and Hockey Nets (Hot Flash Hookups Series) by Sylvie Stewart and Marika Ray – Review by Sharon Funkhouser

Night Sweats and Hockey Nets by Marika Ray
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

My only regret is not realizing this was the third book in a series when I started it! (Although, truth be told, I can’t find anything that made me think I needed to have read the first two books prior; I’m assuming there are some character cameos that happen, but plot lines weren’t unclear)

I love me a good rom-com story, and while hockey isn’t MY favorite sport (it is my bestie’s), you can’t go wrong with a good hockey rom-com! My favorites are the ones that bleed over into real life, when you feel like the characters could be real people, people you’ve met or are already friends with. While I can’t say I know what it’s like to be a wealthy athlete!, I can say I’ve met people with challenging divorce and child custody situations, and people trying to start over, professionally and romantically “later in life” (which sounds ridiculous, because 40 year olds aren’t old!)
I loved the reality of peri-menopause that was dribbled in the story as well. Not there yet, but gosh, it’s on the horizon, and the way the authors presented these life changes was so tastefully done, you can’t help but love everything about the story!
