when i hear rachel reid is releasing another hockey book, i’m dropping by everything to read it. and it’s literally always worth it.

reid writes her characters in a way that you can't help fall in love with them. landon and casey are no exception, and i found myself smiling and silently rooting for them from page one. although touted as a holiday romance, the holiday doesn't play too large of a role in the story which is perfect since i read it in may. haha it does give the perfect setting for our characters to be soft and merry together, while still focusing on them and their relationship. reid always crushes the found family aspect of their stories, and what better found family than a hockey team?

the relationship between all the players are always some of my favorites to read. casey and landon, though? they're precious. the grief landon faces is handled well, and i really enjoyed seeing him process that with his family and on his own. casey is a whole golden retriever who has never met someone that isn't his best friend, and their dynamic together is everything. they’re soft and understanding with one another and reading about them just made my chest feel fuzzy. 

time to shine is another hit from rachel reid and hockey and romance fans alike will be tapping their sticks for more.
