Call me crazy but I was actually rooting for these two. A couple of the sex scenes were a little over the top (namely, the Uber and the Halloween ones) and I really didn’t care about Aaron and thought it was a little cliche that he was in love with her and repressing it but other than that, this was really stinking cute.

If you like insta-love (which is basically what happens at least with the MMC) it's ok but this was not for me. I didn't find the FMC likeable, the MMC was nice tho. Their relationship seemed rushed from the start and not natural at all. There is no plot, no substance. Personally, I found it difficult to keep reading, there was nothing that made me want to know more about the characters or their relationships after chapter 6. I mean, if there had been undeniable sexual tension or incredibly crafted chemistry between the main characters I would have passed over the lack of plot and kept reading. If you give me a good romance I will devour your story. Unfortunately, this was not the case for me.
Watch out, spoilers ahead.
First encounter and Nathan (MMC) is already captivated by Anastasia (FMC) and follows her like a puppy. All right, I understand that looks matter and all that, but come on, she's a brat that treats Nathan as if it was his fault that she has to share the rink with the hockey team. Like girl, grow up, you are not the only figure skater that will have to put up with it. I just didn't like Anastasia's personality.
Don't get me started on the side characters. It's obvious that presenting all of Nathan's hockey friends at the same time was not a good idea. If I can't remember a single name when I turn the page I will not care about them. It's just like if you tried to introduce all Lord of The Rings characters in the first chapter, just no. On the other hand, It seems to me like this was done with the idea to write the following books about each one of Nate's friends, just like in The Deal by Elle Kennedy.
