Practice Makes Perfect Patrick “Patch” Donnelly has what it takes to be the best goalie in the NHL…if only he could learn to control his temper. When Coach orders him to get his head in the game with private yoga classes, Patch isn’t having it. There’s no way this tough Boston guy would be caught dead downward dog-ing his way to inner peace. But if he refuses, he risks his starting position and the dream he sacrificed everything for, including joining the priesthood. Yoga instructor Margot Kowalski is over men. After yet another toxic relationship, she’s eager to forget love and focus on growing her business. Doing the Hellions head coach a favor by helping out a troubled player can't hurt, and it might give her career a high-profile boost. But free-spirited Margot is soon charming the pants off Patch. Literally. Her sassy combination of sweet and sexy proves irresistible to the goalie. Before Patch can give into temptation though, he’ll have to confess his biggest secret: He’s a virgin. But Patch is hiding more than sexual inexperience, and his dark past soon threatens to destroy his shot at true love.

This story is an even quicker read than the previous book in this series. I consumed it via audiobook and it’s only a few hours long. While I think the story was great and it even had a lot of emotion, there could have been even more depth if it had been longer.
Since both Patrick and Margot are mentioned in the previous books they aren’t necessarily strangers to those who have read the series, but they also aren’t known since they haven’t quite been on page in those books. That means it’s easy to read this as a standalone, but it’s another place this book could have used some added depth.
Margot and Patrick definitely have chemistry and their connection is wonderful. I loved how comfortable they were with each other and how open they were with their secrets, hopes, and dreams. It may sound like I’m bashing this book but I’m not. It’s a good book. I just know it could have been great if the author had taken more time with it overall. It had an important subplot and fantastic characters.
