Having read the previous books, I was expecting fun and smiling and that is exactly what I got when reading this book. Definitely one to pick up when you need a lift via laughter and love.

I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book provided by NetGalley.

This was a cute and super easy read. The writing style was fluid and didn't drag at any point. This Mom-Com was funny and had great characters. I found it was an overall pretty sweet story with a worthwhile ending. Would recommend.

Secret baby, second chance romance. A great read but emotional too. I have loved this series of books.

I received an arc of this title from NetGalley for an honest review. I started this book and then got bored with it as I feel like I have read books with similar stories several times.

If you're looking for a cute, funny mom-com for the holidays this is a good choice. Maisy is a strong character who shows real and honest challenges following losing a family member, showcases being a single parent well, and deals with tough choices. Should she tell her son who his father is if his father isn't going to want to step up? Are her own feelings getting in the way? Does the entire town know exactly who her son's father is and yet keep her secret? It's a great small town book where we have community and support. When secrets are kept, feelings get hurt. But in the end, the focus is always on the best choices for the child involved. A warm and cozy read!

This was a cute and easy read. This Mom-Com was funny with wonderful characters. I found it was an overall sweet story with a great ending.

A sweet and heartwarming romance that will make you swoon. Adorable characters, tender moments, and a feel-good plot. Perfect for a cozy escape into love

I have enjoyed this series. This one a tad different and in some ways sad. Deals with being bullied in school and childhood. Deals with death and defunct parents. But in the end it deals with hope, love and families. Hope that there will be one last installment to see where there lives took them.

A solid fun story. I really enjoyed the characters interactions with each other though I did not always enjoy the characters themselves.

A nice middle of the road, feel good, at times heart wrenching story. It defiantly brought tears to my eyes more than once.

Though I have to warn no 🌶️.

There are a lot of extremely bad hockey books on the market right now, and this one was quite readable by comparison. A fairly standard premise that is executed competently, which was just what I was looking for.

Masiy Moore is a single mom who owns a hair salon in Alaska. She has low self-esteem because of being bullied when she was younger and that has stayed with how she looks at herself. Her son is wanting to play hockey and of course, what he does not know is that his favorite player Case Evans is also Jack’s father. Wanting to give her son a good Christmas becomes more of a challenge when Chase comes home because of an injury and then he finds out that she is a single mom. Now Masiy must find a way to tell Chase about his son and see what happens. Though some people may be upset with Masiy I understood her years of bullied and how that could affect her self-confidence. This turned out to be a good book.

Hate, Rinse, and Repeat has a cute Christmasy precedent with a single mom and a hockey player. I am a huge fan of hockey romances but it wasn't really in the book since Chase is just leaving his position on the team dee to an injury. Maisy is just not my favorite heroine. I could not understand her decisions and she made everyone's lives much harder than they needed to be and wasn't able to have real adult conversations voicing her feelings and working through her obvious issues. I get that she is the character that likes to handle everything on her own, but. I just personally felt very frustrated with her decisions within her relationships. that being said, I did like the development of Chase as a character and fell in love with him! I think this is a book that I would. recommend. you to read because though it wasn't for me, it's cute and it might be for you!

Maisy is a single mom to a seven year old son who live in her small town and own a beauty salon. No one know who is her son father and she guarded the info tightly.
After a bad injury, Chase Evans is back in town after his career as a pro hockey player ended. He and Maisy has met at their class reunion and it was there that Jack was conceived. Chase have no idea that he have a son. With Chase back in town, Maisy found it hard for her to continue with the secret and she could not bring herself to tell Chase who Jack is. Maisy is a victim of bully and as a result, she have low self esteem. She have trust issue and for her, relationship is alien to her.

The story is about insecurity, fear and miscommunication in a relationship and how it has cause trouble between 2 individual and preventing a relationship from developing. The banters between Maisy and chase will make you angry and sad. Every page have something that will keep your interest going. Overall this book is a heartwarming story to me.

A rom.com set in small.town Alaska. Sign me up! The cheerful and fun banter between Chase and Maisy made the story. A fun lighthearted read.

Thank you NetGalley for providing me with this book!

A single-mom hockey romance???? SIGN ME UP!!!!! I ate this book up. It was so phenomenal.

This was an easy read. I didn’t love this book but I didn’t hate it either- I just wish there was a little more. Everything just seemed so easy. I hid your dad from you - no big deal. There were some major issues and the characters quickly got over everything.

I was given an Advanced Reader Copy by NetGalley for an honest review.

This was a brilliant story. It was very close to getting full marks. It's a second chance romance that I am sure you will love, especially if you like ice hockey. It is set in both a small town in America and Canada. It's a real page turning novel that I just couldn't put down. I read it all in one afternoon it was that good. It was very well written with loveable characters, which I connected with very easily. I'm not into ice hockey as it isn't big in the UK, but I loved the story all the same. I loved the pace of the book as there was never a flat spot. It brought out some great emotions. It's a really good story that I am sure will stick with you, and I loved the stories uniqueness. I definitely recommend reading this book if you love second chance romance novels. Especially those that don't have too much spice in.

So much praise goes out to the author and publishing team for creating such a wonderful and emotional story that made me feel so happy. I will definitely be looking out for more books by these authors.

I’m not usually one to enjoy the secret baby trope, but I really liked this. The banter between Chase and Maisy was so funny. Jack was so cute. We really went through a roller coaster of emotions with Chase and Maisy’s relationship. I understand Chase had every right to be mad at Maisy when he found out about Jack, but man I wanted to smack him.

I am a huge fan of Whitney Dineen. I enjoyed this book and thought it was a really cute romance. I would suggest this.

Hate, Rinse, Repeat is a short, heartwarming, holiday story of a single mom and the hometown hockey star who comes home after a long time away. The characters are nice and relatable despite being in situations I havent been in and making decisions that I wouldn't. The son, Jack is adorable and has an infectious happiness that jumps off the page. I read it in one sitting and it was enjoyable.
