This is book #3, in the Boston Terriers Hockey series.  This book can be read as a standalone novel.  For reader enjoyment, and to avoid spoilers, I recommend reading this fun series in order intended.

Maddie is finally done with high school and on to the rest of her life.  A life she has been waiting and hoping for.  Along with Shaw giving her a chance at a future, anyway.  Only he has no idea.

Shaw has been feeling something new for Maddie for a while.  Not really sure how to approach it, he wants to feel her out without her overprotective brother in the way.  Little does he know how poetic those thoughts are going to be.

The series continues with the latest couple being my new favorite.  I love how their friendship builds with somewhat ease.  They were already connected, so it was only a matter of time.  The characters were a pleasure to read.  I was rooting for them right from the very start.  I give this read a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP!

Oh this was good. So very, very good.

There were times when I wanted to reach through the page and shake Andy for some of the decisions he made.

Andy Barber has been an assistant district attorney in his suburban Massachusetts county for more than twenty years. He is respected in his community, tenacious in the courtroom, and happy at home with his wife, Laurie, and son, Jacob. But when a shocking crime shatters their New England town, Andy is blindsided by what happens next: His fourteen-year-old son is charged with the murder of a fellow student. Every parental instinct Andy has rallies to protect his boy. Jacob insists that he is innocent, and Andy believes him. Andy must. He’s his father. But as damning facts and shocking revelations surface, as a marriage threatens to crumble and the trial intensifies, as the crisis reveals how little a father knows about his son, Andy will face a trial of his own—between loyalty and justice, between truth and allegation, between a past he’s tried to bury and a future he cannot conceive.

This is my latest book-club read and when I went to add it to my Booklikes shelf, I was surprised to see it was already on there, marked as 'Planning to Read'. Further investigation shows a 'Booklikers Recommendations' tag. I have no idea who recommended it but I'm looking forward to reading it particularly because the town where it is set is the one I lived in for twelve years before moving to North Carolina.
