Taken from Goodreads:  I can’t decide if my new summer tenant—a devastatingly handsome hockey player and single dad—is the answer to my problems or the start of a new one.

When big-city developers threaten to buy up my small town, I need to save the rental cottage next door from demolition. I have a plan . . . until Daniel Sutton checks in.

Six-four, a face chiseled by the gods, and a body built by a career on the ice, I’m knocked sideways. He’s charming with me and adorable with his son. And when we touch, it’s electric.

But two things change everything. The pipes break in the cottage, and his agent calls. Before I can stop myself, I’m offering him a place to stay, and Daniel is offering me the answer to my problems. He’ll buy the cottage for me if I help him clean up his reputation.

Sounds simple enough. But when I start to fall in love with him, even though I know he’s leaving in a few months, it’s suddenly more complicated than ever.

I’m willing to take a chance on us and pour my heart into a letter. But with him skating on thin ice, he’s going to have to sacrifice something—me or his career.

I just hope XOXO, Summer isn’t the last thing I ever get to say to him.

 

My Thoughts:  I listened to this book while working.  I could not stop!  It is so so good.  The narrators are perfect, the story is steaming and sweet, the characters are so meant to be together. 

Hockey Romance is my jam.  There are so many options, some I enjoy more than others.   XOXO, Summer is done so right.  I love that Daniel comes with a son and that son is the most important person in his life.   That relationship is done so right.  Summer fits right into their happy family, making Roman a part of their story together.   The fact that Summer knows nothing about hockey only makes this story sweeter.  She was not after the fame or money of being a hockey players girlfriend, she was just after finding happiness. 

The steamy times were very steamy.  🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ I did fast forward through some of the dialogue during these times as it was a little much for what I was hoping for.   But dang, these two belong together.   They fit perfectly and I am so glad that they found their HEA.
