3.5⭐️ | 1🌶️

I love sports romances, especially Hockey so of course I had to pick up this one when it came by on Netgalley. (Did I read and forget to review it? Yes. I did 🫣 but I’m here now!)

It’s a fun, Insta-love between a single dad- Logan and Coco- an Olympic figure skater who is teaching kids while she makes her way to an Olympic gold medal. One of her students, Poppy, is the most adorable little girl with the hottest dad ever. One day, when Poppy's dad is late to pick her up, she decides to go find him within the facility, since they both work at the same stadium. When they both happen to enter a restricted zone, a puck comes flying and knocks Coco out. Her story with Logan begins when she wakes up in the hospital with him by her side.

The romance in this book is fast paced, which doesn’t go hand in hand with the plot which is seemingly slow paced. I had high hopes with this ice skating x hockey romance, but while we saw a lot of hockey we don’t get to see much of ice skating.

The banter between the 2 MCs is super cute. It was, however, the only thing that kept me interested. While it’s a decent book, I felt it could've been much better.

Thanks NetGallery and Lisa Daily for giving me an ARC in exchange for an honest review

A single dad, insta love, sport romance very fun to read.

The plot caught my attention and has lived up to my expectations. The story has a very funny beginning that makes you keep reading.

I don't usually like insta love, but I think this one is very well done. From the beginning you can see how Coco and Logan get attached since they spend so much time together at the hospital.

The aspects I liked about the book were:
• Logan and Poppy's relationship is extremely adorable.
• They are both professional athletes and share their passion and sacrifice for their sport.
• They help each other to overcome their difficulties.

However, there are some aspects that could be improved:
• Most of the book takes place in the hospital, I would have liked to see Coco on the ice more.
• I would have liked to see more tension, as Logan never got mas despite Coco's attitude.

It's an entertaining read with a fun ice hockey story. I'm looking forward to reading Cam's love story.

This is literally the cutest/sweetest little story! It definitely has a steady and slow burn going on, but for this storyline, I thought it worked out perfectly.

Poppy and Logan are a sweet father-daughter duo (SINGLE DAD, OKAYYYY!) with Logan being an NHL superstar, of course, and Poppy a figure-skating student of Coco's, whose an Olympic ice skater. ⛸️

Coco and Logan bond over an unfortunate accident that happened with Poppy, and quite honestly, you could see the chemistry there from the beginning.

I love romances, especially hockey romances, so this really hit the nail on the head for me in pretty much every area. I cannot wait to read more of her books! 💕🥰

This is a quick and enjoyable single dad sport romance.

There were so many great extra characters from Mrs Marham to Marissa to the hockey team to poppy. The daughter was adorable - she reminded me of Rosie from we bought a zoo! She was a great addition to the story.

I felt a bit weird about how quickly she seemed to be interested in him again after she was being paid, it just felt a bit odd. But that is the premise of the book and the author did try and explain the change in emotions so if your intrigued by the plot of the book you shouldn't have any problems with it.

It was a quick paced romance where he falls first. Logan and Cocos romance was enjoyable, if your looking for a quick good read you can't go far wrong with this one.

Thank you for the advanced copy. I thought this was a cute book. Logan and Coco are fun, and I like seeing their communication and growth. I don't normally read many new adult books, so this was a little out of my comfort zone. However, if you like romance, I'd try it.

Looking forward to reading more from this author.

Cute concept! I loved how the main characters were introduced in the story and evolved throughout the book. Quick, easy, happy read.

** spoiler alert ** I love a good romance, a spicy romance, and love a hockey player romance!

An Olympian level figure skating, teaching kids to skate to earn money to train... and a professional NHL player who trains in the same building, because his daughter takes skating classes - when he forgets to pick up his daughter, the teacher brings her over to his area of the building... only to receive a PUCK TO THE HEAD.

Talk about a meet cute... omg. I died. Such a fun beginning!

However, from there the pacing was good, and the storyline was cute - but there was a LOT of gifting from the MMC. I had a hard time with all the incessant gifting, and felt it get really repetitive, and cheesy quickly.

Overall, I liked it, but it just wasn't my favorite.

[Gifted by Siesta Key and Netgalley - thank you! All opinions are my own.]

Honestly, i tried like i really tried to get into this but i just couldn't i think the problem was the romance i just can't stand it no matter how many times i attempted to read this book.

I had high hopes for this read and was disappointed. The idea she continually got money thrown at her to be around him became cringeworthy. It felt like he went behind her back to make life better for her without asking her if it would at times too. Like I'm all for a man spoiling his lady but it got weird and smothering. There were some scenes that were cool and the daughter was adorable.

I picked this book based on the title alone. I LOVED the 90s classic The Cutting Edge. I knew the book would be figure skater and hockey player and that was about it so I went in pretty blind. It was very adorable, over the top sweet with a major cinnamon roll hockey player that I was just in love with. How can you not fall in love with him, after sending a slap shot to the face, he spends the rest of the books making it up to her. Hospital visits, meaningful gifts and expensive lobster dinners, sexy kisses and just an overall adorableness in how hard and fast that man fell in love.
I have to say I didn't like Coco all that much. I can't decide why but I hated the way she treated Logan with her I like you, no I don't like you, I like you but I can't be with you for no reason. He was going out of his way to help her out, her best friend approved of him and yet she kept shutting him down, and then she would lead him on, and then shut him down and then she took the job as the lucky charm (which anyone with a half a brain cell could see was Logan's way of taking care of her) and she got mad at him. Urghh...I hate the miscommunication trope and she was so wishy washy and kind mean sometimes. But I really liked Logan, I liked the hockey team, I loved the banter between the teammates and I could read around her and overall found the story quirky and fun.
I see lots of potential in a series with the players. So many good rugged hot hockey players to make fall in love. Yep. I will be looking for Lana and Cam's book!

was not a fan of this novel the cover is cute though. thanks netgalley and lisa daily for the e arc :))))

I wanted to like this book but it was super difficult to get into. Putting aside the multiple grammatical and continuity errors in my copy, it was a book that was rather short yet felt long.

This one is a story most of us know about Cutting Edge, the figure skater who teams up with a hockey player to try to win gold. Well this one has a great twist that includes more about love and life and health.

Logan is a hockey player for the local NHL team who is in a slump when his daughters figure skating teacher comes to drop off of his daughter when BOOP a puck hits her.

I really enjoyed this one. It was cute, not too smutty, great characters, mini twists and turns and the perfect length. The only thing I didn’t love was that the ending felt rushed after falling in love with Poppy and Logan. I liked how it ended but you’ll like 1-2 more chapters!

I do give this one 3/5 stars.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

Logan and Coco meet when one of Coco's skating student, Poppy. is late being picked up. She says her dad works at the rink so Coco and Poppy go to find him. Poppy points at the rink when she spots her dad then everything goes black for Coco. She wakes up in the hospital finding out that she was hit in the head by a slap shot hit by Logan. Their relationship builds as Logan continues to visit Coco in the hospital. At first the visits were out of guilt but he finds he can't get Coco out of his head. He has to be near her and when he can't be he sends gifts throughout the day.

This was a cute, low steam romance. Perfect for Hallmark fans. For me, Logan was a little too perfect considering it's mid-season for the NHL yet he's so caring and always there for Coco.

I really enjoyed the first half, it was really cute and loved the building of relationship between the two MCs.

The second half felt a bit rushed and the gifts were a lot. I feel I would have enjoyed it a bit more if the plot was brought forward earlier in the book (the 'job' she took).

The last few chapters I wasn't sure what the time delay was (weeks, months years?) So would have liked to see it displayed at the top of the chapter heading as well.

Overall I thought the two characters were cute and the ending was all happy so was a fun and quick read.

3.5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️✨

Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher and Lisa Daily for providing me with an ARC of this novel in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoyed the beginning of the book however, as time went on, it felt a bit too dragged out.
It was also hard to believe that Coco got so upset about being “deceived” when she was hired as the teams lucky charm when she too deceived Logan by accepting the position in the first place and not telling him.

Overall, it was still an okay book but it didn’t have anything that wowed me.

Sent to the hospital for getting hit by slapshot from one of hockey's best players is never a great start to a relationship, but in The Cutting Edge it works. Coco is a figure skating champion with dreams of the Olympics. Logan is a single father who injures his daughter’s coach with a hockey puck to the head. Sparks begin to ignite when Logan spends a lot of his free time at the hospital with Coco after the accident.

Cute and fun, this sports romance is fitting for someone needing a cozy romance. The characters were a delight and easy to like. I especially enjoyed the light heartedness of the story as so many these days are very heavy or dark. This is the perfect book to curl up with on a snowy winter day.

I’m big on hockey romances right now so I thought why not give this one a try. It was cute. It had its moments. The few things I did like was how Logan and Bella met, I enjoyed how Bella was with Logan’s daughter and I enjoyed the support from Bella’s best friend. I always enjoy really great supporting characters. The concept of Bella being “good luck” was also really enjoyable. I found myself hating the little bits of secrets that occurred but overall I found this to be a great read. It had room for improvements, I found myself just needing more from the story. I’d definitely recommend though to sports romance readers.

I voluntarily reviewed this after receiving a copy.

JUST WHAT I NEEDED. This was so cute and funny. It’s a mixture of the ULTIMATE sports romance and it made me giddy and giggly. I loved Logan and coco so much, and felt so sorry for coco getting caught up in the pressures from Logan’s work life.

The miscommunication trope is usually my least favourite but it was immaculately executed in this!!

I came in expecting a sports romance and it was more like a hospital romance, some characters felt like they were only there to base plot points on rather than rounding out the characters
