Description

Ice, intensity, and an unexpected divine intervention collide at Greenrock University. For star hockey player Sloane, the rink is her sanctuary, but a battle with chronic pain and illness threatens to bench her dreams permanently. She has spent years perfecting a grumpy, untouchable exterior to hide her struggles, keeping everyone at a distance to protect her heart and her game. Everything shifts when she crosses paths with an enigmatic newcomer who seems to see right through her defenses. This isn't just another campus romance; it is a collision of worlds where gritty sports ambition meets the ethereal. As Sloane navigates the pressures of the ice and the complexities of her health, she finds an ally in a woman who carries secrets of her own—a guardian with wings she keeps hidden beneath a police badge. This story transcends the typical rivalry tropes, offering a deeply emotional exploration of resilience, vulnerability, and the strength found in being seen for exactly who you are. With authentic disability representation and a slow-burn connection that crackles with celestial chemistry, this romance proves that sometimes the most powerful plays are the ones that happen off the ice. Prepare to fall hard for a love story that is as fierce as it is fragile.

Women’s hockey!!!!

🏒 Like A Power Play 5⭐️ Beautiful, strong, grumpy women + hockey = IM IN LOVEEEEEEE 😂😂 after stumbling upon the game day fit check videos from the PWHL I knew I needed to lock in for sapphic hockey romance 🫡 this book was delightful straight up. It was a beautiful mix of grief surrounding your body and its abilities changing, the grief of losing your passion and having to pivot in your dreams. Our two main characters, Peyton and Darcy were kind of having parallel struggles on their own whilst also beefing with each other. I love a good hate to annoyed to omg I like you romance and this definitely delivered. Peyton was so funny and she loved to poke the bear. The bear being Darcy 😂 and I loved Darcy, I love a grumpy and jaded FMC. Her story broke my heart but I’m so glad she gets her happy ending ❤️ the entire hockey team was honestly amazing and definitely seems like there may be tons of stories to tell with them 👁️👁️ if you’re riding the Heated Rivalry train hard lately and in need of more delicious rainbow romance, look no further! 🤩 definitely recommend 💘

Love this!

This is so good. The disability representation is on point. It was such a good story about having to deal with a chronic illness and chronic pain. I loved Darcy's and Peyton's banter. I loved how everything unfolded and evolved. The writing was so good. There were so many lines I highlighted because they were so beautiful. Excellent!
