Stephanie Archer is a master of creating a balance of pining, passion and This is a forced proximity, grumpy/sunshine romance that is absolutely delectable.

I loved the story in this book, and how these were two adults that were supportive of each other during their highs and lows. The storyline was quite weak and the concept of an aspiring singer who just needs to be told they’re good enough over and over is quite tired and made me cringe out loud.I am so happy that Pippa got the happy ending she deserved and that was her true revenge against him.

In this grumpy-sunshine set-up, professional star hockey goalie Jamie (infinitely grouchy, rude, in desperate need of therapy) inadvertently hires Pippa, his old high school crush (a happy-go-lucky musician with a confidence problem) as his live-in assistant in Vancouver.Behind the Net is a hockey romance novel set in Vancouver, Canada and features main characters Pippa and Jamie. there were so many times where i had to read over some of the scenes because i couldn’t believe my eyes. Over time they learn much more about each other until they each finally reveal that they remembered each other and had crushes. The romance and initial attraction is there from the first page, but the actual romance takes a while to develop.
