A small town, single dad, enemies to lovers romance.

Crawling back to this small town was never in hockey star Chase Woodson’s plans.
From hitting hockey pucks in front of thousands to selling urinal pucks at his father’s hardware store, coming back home is his worst nightmare.
But being a (newly) single dad of twin boys means making sacrifices. His boys need stability and his dad needs his help in the store.
Now he needs her.
Except, Chase has been the bane of Madison Kelly’s existence since high school.
She just so happens to be the only available nanny in town.
Besides, high school was ten years ago.
People don’t hold grudges that long, right?


I enjoyed this book from start to finish, and I'm already anticipating the next book in the series! I love a good enemies-to-lovers story, and with the history between Chase and Madison, I knew this was gonna be an engaging read, and I pretty much read this in one sitting. I got a kick out of the interactions between Chase and his sons (who doesn't love a good single dad story), and while I liked Madison and her interactions with Chase's sons, it took a good chunk of the book to really begin to like her; I just wasn't that impressed with her at the start, but I can't quite figure out why she annoyed me. But I can promise you this: Chase's ex-wife is the absolute WORST. There've been a few fictional characters I've read over the years that made me want to throat punch them and this particular is at the top of the list. However, I did enjoy seeing the evolution of the interactions between Chase and Madison, and the chemistry between them is plenty hot!
