Unmasking Love
D.C. Renegades Book one
I have never looked anywhere except the ice when the puck is in play.
But this girl...This girl is very distracting.
She's the most beautiful person I've ever seen.
Aiden
When he sees Harper for the first time
He takes my hand and it's warm. Large. Steady. The exit sign for Smutville appears in my mind and I detour quickly off the professional highway to what his hands on me would feel like.
Harper
The first time they shake hands

Reader's Love Aiden!
Holy cow! I could not put this book down!
From the very first page I fell in love with Aiden. His attitude, the quiet, kind of broody back up goalie. To get to learn about his history and watch all of the puzzle pieces fall together was just perfect. I loved watching him grow from closed off “flight-risk” to the protective, goofy Doberman by the end of the book!
When Felix first mentioned Harper, I couldn’t wait to meet her. Man, she did not disappoint. Harper reminded me of your classic, feel-good, sunshine character. To learn that it was surface level and she also had a twisted history made her such a relatable character.
Another super fun character group I fell in love with were the “Big Guns”. The way they immediately welcomed Aiden into the group (in their own very special way) was too sweet. Their group chat messages had me actually laughing out loud as I was reading.
It was also so, so nice to have a book about a goalie. I’m a big hockey fan in real life, and goaltenders have a very special place in my heart. So to see one get to be center of attention was wonderful. Erin’s writing of the plays were great, I could easily picture the plays happening in my head.
This was such a fun read! I haven’t read a book that I didn’t need a break from in ages, and this was exactly that. (And now I’m itching for Bryson’s book!)

Goodreads
This was a fresh take on a hockey romance, it wasn’t the typical star player & fmc employed somehow with the team.
These two are absolutely adorable and so sweet. They start off as an unlikely friendship, and it slowly naturally evolves into something more, which just made me smile and my heart happy.
This team is definitely quirky. Their locker room shenanigans are low-key ridiculous and their group chat had me chuckling out loud a couple times there’s something so unique to a found family trope when it comes to a sports romance it just hits different.
