Shaw Daniels is the bane of my existence.
Always has been. Always will be.
When we were kids, he annoyed me to no end by being good at everything. He didn’t have to study or really even try. Meanwhile, I tried too much and still lost to him.
Then when we were teenagers, our rivalry became twisted. He started sabotaging all my relationships. I retaliated by doing the same to him.
Now, we’re adults and we should be able to move on. But when I become a physical therapist for his professional hockey team, it seems as though we can’t let go of our rival tendencies.
Suddenly, our teasing starts to border on flirting. Bets are made and lines are crossed. The kind of lines that once crossed … you can never go back to the way things were before.

My thoughts on The Golden Goal by Annah Conwell
Sutton and Shaw’s years of history, banter, and teasing come to life in this captivating rivals-to-lovers hockey romance! Despite being one of the first hockey romances I’ve read (and I may be Canadian, but I’ve never watched an entire game), it exceeded my expectations. Annah’s writing is sweet and original, even while embracing classic tropes. I found Sutton particularly relatable, and their relationship was super cute and dreamy—everything a girl could wish for.
Tropes:
