Bailey has found a gem in Orion. This novel is good reading. I'm glad Bailey has opened her eyes to see the real Nolan. He is a dirty snake, not a team player. He used Bailey and now he realized he had a good woman. Now his rival Orion has finally been able to tell Bailey how he actually feels. So what if he helped her out to start off with. They are a great couple together. Make Nolan pay for trying to break y'all up.

Dating My Ex’s Rival Hockey Captain is the perfect mix of tension, romance, and emotional drama. The chemistry between the main characters felt natural, with witty banter and heartfelt moments that kept me invested from beginning to end. I loved the hockey setting because it added excitement and intensity to the story without overshadowing the romance. The captain’s protective yet confident personality made him impossible not to love. While some plot twists were predictable, the emotional connection and strong character development made this an entertaining and addictive read overall.

This book is a 2 for one. 2 happy endings in one book. The best friends and main characters have a true friendship and are there for each other like a “real best friend ” would be. The 2 hockey rivals and the men from the main love triangle are raw and imperfect like any human being is. The conflict was scary, real life type situations. The resolution of said conflict was really redeeming for all. I enjoyed this book and was very happy with the second happy ending for the best friend. And hopefully they all lived happily ever after

A little cheesy at times, but that’s what we’re here for right? Loved the longing and the “he fell first” trope being used at its finest. Definitely good character development for our main girl, and Orion is one hundred percent swoon worthy. His support of her opening her bakery and learning to love herself is such a powerful thing and shows his devotion to her. Being loved is great, but so is being loved so much that you see how to love yourself better.

I like both main characters, even though both characters are lacking in flaws which would improve the story. There are a couple of grammatical issues that bother me and I hate how they use asterisks to censor words that are mostly just body parts besides, it was marked as an 18+ so there is no reason for censorship. I’m also disappointed that Nolan her ex-boyfriend is a stereotypical evil dude who can’t let go of the past. Itwould be much more interesting if the antagonist was Orien’s fame rather than simply an ex.

I can not stress enough proof reading! There are a few times the names if the characters have switched making it confusing but you do catch it! The grammar is off abit as well. The story line seems interesting enough to keep reading. Iam a hockey fan so its enjoyable to read. The plot I hope gets alittle deeper and we get more insight on the characters and the rolls that they play. Theres always going to be the villian and the hero I just hope all ends up well for the female lead!

This is a really good story to read, I have seen some errors with names but have gotten the jist of what is meant. This story is really easy to get into and keeps you interested and wanting to read more. I really like the story line. The intimate parts are good too, but maybe could use some more. The ex boyfriend is something else but a lot of people can relate to. All in all this is a good story and would recommend

A sweet novel. Love Orion and his love for Bailey. Hope they fight for their love and can't wait to see how things work out in the end. Im roting for them. Like Orions mom and dad, and reallt hope they take good care of the lovebirds. I really like the way the author writes so we both can see Orions POV and Baileys POV. So now i will sit back in my chair with my feet covered in a soft blanket and enjoy the rest og the journey.

Only part way in but it seems to be getting better by the chapter. It started slow but seems to be picking up now. Wish the grammar errors and writing were better. There are times I have to go back and reread to make sure that it’s not my confusion but the writer who has written the wrong person’s name. This happens more than one would expect if the book is proofread prior to posting. Hope it gets better as it goes on.
