This one was a miss for me-- it's about 24 hours or less of time covered in the text, and while the characters aren't declaring their love, it was not clearly a romance? They meet, Anna is completely confused on what is reality, she relies on her (problematic) upbringing to push Ripley to 'marry' her, which he agrees to because he'd always longed for a mate... then he protects her from violence and then they have sex, and then it's over. This truly might even be more of a short story length over novella. I just didn't understand Anna's choices or thought processes, their communication was okay during the moment but lacked SO MUCH context it was outrageous... Just overall felt like the garnish of story to surround a sex scene? Plus basic grammar/typos throughout, felt like it really needed an editor or at least a beta reader. PLUS all the religious trauma and language = yikes.

hi, i’m not a big romance person, however i love me some PWHL and would love to dip my toes in. for that, i’d like to join this quest, however, with the carter hart sitch, the olympics sitch, and all that, i’d like to hear how we as readers are dealing with the real life misogyny that’s embedded in the sport & the current romanticization of it in the books.
thank you.
(i’m not trying to be condescending, i just am super mindful of what i read & if the misogyny is being overlooked entirely, as well as the sexism & the 9 million dollar pay-off hockey canada made under the table in just the last decade in a.a. payoffs, this might not be the genre for me)
