My thoughts about this book:

This is a mini review of the book Make You Mine by Jenna Hartley. One of the reasons I was excited to read this book was that it was a hockey romance. I’ve only read a few sports romances before which were focused on ice skating. I love going to hockey games and I was looking forward to seeing how the author wrote about the game. I also chose this book because it has one of my favorite tropes which is the faking dating/relationship trope. I love this trope because even though you usually end up knowing what’s going to happen, I enjoy seeing all of the small moments where the characters start to really know one another.

Something that I was happy to see in this book regarding the romance is that the characters knew each other for years before the events of this book. I thought that this made the story more realistic in why Bryn would choose Fraiser to be her (fake) date for her sister’s wedding. The last book that I read that had this trope used it more for convenience so it made me happy to see that the trope was used in a slightly different way for this story. I really liked how the characters helped each other grow throughout this story and how they were able to lean on each other when struggling with their grief. One of the really cute details in this story that I adored was how Bryn’s nickname for Fraiser was “Bear” due to the fact that he gives the best hugs! When I first saw that nickname I thought it was because he’s grumpy towards everyone but I was pleasantly surprised!

Something that was slightly disappointing to me was the fact that there wasn’t as much focus on the hockey aspect of the book. While I did enjoy the tension and excitement of the hockey game towards the end of the book, I did wish that there was more sports content included in the story.

Would I recommend this book?

Yes! It was a book that I enjoyed reading! It was a quick read for me and I really loved the relationship between the two main characters!
