Keira
What do you do when your NHL superstar ex skates back into your small town? Drop to the ground and hide behind the bleachers, hoping he doesn’t see you. But Lady Luck must be in a bad mood today because Dan spots me, my hood over my eyes, pretending I’m not there.
Mature? No. Necessary? Oh, yes.
Humiliation washes over me, and the wall around my heart stands firm. Dan might be back, but I can’t afford to let him in again. Not after the heartbreak of losing him once before.
When he offers to coach my nephew, I reluctantly agree. Every smile he flashes at me, every kind word, threatens to crack my resolve. But I can’t go through that again. I have to protect my heart.
Dan
I want Keira back. End of story.

Similar to the first book in the series, this is a fun, quick read. It is also very surface level and I think there might only be one conversation that passes the Bechdel test (I don't think about this with every book I read, but for some reason it hit me with this book). I love a second chance romance, though I wish we had gotten to see more of the relationship itself. Instead, we got a lot of the lead up to the relationship, them getting together, skipping over the middle part of them dating, and then the third act break up (which lasted all of twenty minutes if you're worried). This was a nice book to use as a palette cleanser between by in depth fantasy books I usually read!
