First of all what a cute cover! Unfortunately this book didn't live up to my expectations for a hockey romance book. I will not be posting about the book on social media and my review will only be posted here on netgalley. Thank you to netgalley, the publisher and the author for allowing me an arc of this book.
Nelcome to the adorable dual POV hockey romance that is fun to read, with characters you become closer friends with each page turn. The Cutting Edge by Lisa Daily is a part of the series and this one was my first read. I will be going back reading the rest of them, though!
Meet Coco. She's an Olympic skater down on her luck. Meet Logan. He's a single father who moonlights as an NHL pro athlete. After an adorable meet cute, thing seem to be going well. If a secret between them is revealed, will it ruin everything?
I'm Canadian so it's no surprise that l'm always in my hockey romance era. This book had a perfect book boyfriend, was easy to read, cute, and incredibly charming. If you're in a reading slump, this is the perfect book that you can read in one sitting, to pick you up and out of it!
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for granting me free access to the advanced digital copy of this book.
This was a funny hockey romance and I loved it.
This book was so so funny! There were so many times I laughed out loud. I love hockey romances and this is one of the best ones I’ve read in a long time.
A big thank you to Net Galley for giving me the opportunity to read this ARC copy of The Cutting Edge by Lisa Daily.
Gah! Hockey and skating! First of all, my faves! Single dad! Sports! The romance build up! Coco and Logan had such a cute romance, and Logan was such a beautiful single daddy. I love little romcoms like this where even though there is a little struggle, it gets worked through quickly and without too much issue. Looking forward to reading more from this author
Thank you for the opportunity to review - this was fun! I enjoy a good tight sports romp and this did not disappoint.
This curse breaker concept is not something I have seen in hockey romance before and honestly I am a bit surprised by that! I really like the idea behind this. This was a cute lighthearted read and I will definitely give this author another go for further hockey reads.
A really cute hockey romance, with not too much substance but a sweet plot nevertheless. The characters are fun and it's well written, but nothing groundbreaking. An enjoyable read!
This was a great book. I connected with the characters. I felt engrossed with the plot. I would read another book by this author.
This was a cute romance, but I felt as though it was similar to several other hockey romance stories. I smiled so much throughout the story and it did make me genuinely happy!
Honestly this book took me longer than expected to finish. I’m usually someone who finish a sport romance book within two days, but for some reason once I put this book down for the day I forgot about it. Maybe it’s because I didn’t really love the characters.
Thank you to the publisher here at NetGalley for this Arc copy.
This book had an interesting premise but unfortunately just felt very boring. It was sitting at a 3 until the ending which was frustrating and felt longer than it needed to be. I really wish there had been more focus on the ice skating stuff, as I much prefer that to hockey. Sadly, the hospital and hockey really dominated this book.
Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for the arc in exchange for an honest review.
I absolutely loved this book!!
Sports romances are one of my favorites. Especially hockey ones haha.
But this book had a little of everything that I love.
The story was interesting, and just similar enough to the movie The Cutting Edge to pique my intrest without actually being the same plot. But it had that whole hockey player figure skater thing going for it haha
It pulled me in and I adored both Logan and Coco.
Definitely hit that sports romance itch I've had. And I loved every second of this book
The Cutting Edge is my first book by Lisa Daily and i did not like it. I found it silly and would probably have not finished it for the exception that I was planning to review it. Some of my issues: I felt like both Coco and Logan were underdeveloped characters, the lucky charm angle seemed insincere. With the lucky charm angle I felt like it was oversimplified to why Coco was doing it. If she really liked Logan I felt like she should not have agreed to be the lucky charm, or she should have told him. I did like Coco’s best friend and Poppy.
Not my favorite.
Thank you to NetGalley and Siesta Key for a copy of this book.

This was a cute, corny (in the best way!) hockey romance. I had never read a hockey romance before and did enjoy this one a lot. While it wasn't the best book I've ever read, it was a lot of fun! The flirting will have you kicking your feet, and there's a lot of flirting. There was also one really good spicy scene. Coco and Logan are absolutely perfect for each other! I was getting worried that miscommunication was going to play a big part in this because I'm not a fan of that particular trope but I was wrong.
Also as someone from Philly, I couldn't help but laugh at their date on the Market-Frankford Line (aka the El). The romanticization of the el was not something I would have ever expected especially after such a spicy scene. To anyone outside the area that would have sounded very cute but to anyone in the city there would be a lot better dates to be taken on. That didn't effect my review but I just thought it was funny :)
I am looking forward to Cam's story!
When I saw this was a hockey player x figure skating romance, I immediately knew I had to read it. Not to mention the hockey player is a single dad?! Sign me up.
The idea and premise of the book was great, and included heaps of tropes I love, but I just found that the execution fell a little flat, and I lost interest during it. Not to mention 3/4 of the book was set in hospital???
There were quite a few typos (of some very important names) in the book and there was times where the writing was quite repetitive, which I did find took away from the flow of reading at times. Hopefully these will be fixed before publication though.
I think ultimately it just came down to this book not being for me.
*** 3,5 stars ***
> All set to be completely fucking wrecked by you, I think. <
The Cutting Edge was a very cute lovely Rom-Com with more Rom than Com in my opinion.
I really enjoyed reading this book and I fell completely in love with the protagonists. I mean, how cute can someone be?
The overall story was also good. It was very narrowed down to one place for most of the book which was a little bit underwhelming for me. I hoped there would be more dynamic. Nonetheless the romance was very cute. It was a little bit too much in such short time that the characters knew each other but other than that it was very enjoyable.
Also Logans daughter was just the cutest.
The writing style was very easy and simple so I can recommend the book to anyone who is just starting to read more in english or doesn't feel completely safe yet.
Overall, I really liked the story and I enjoyed reading the book.
The is the first book in a new series by Lisa Daily. My bar has been set pretty high for hockey romances so this fell a little flat for me, although I can’t tell if just because I’ve read so many other hockey romances I enjoyed more. This is a figure skater/hockey player romance. Overall the book was very cute just nothing special for me.
Thank you netgalley for this arc in exchange for an honest review.
I received this book from Siesta Key through NetGalley and this review is based on my own opinion.
While the book wasn't one of the best hockey romances I did enjoy reading it. The beginning felt a bit slow and the ending a bit rushed. I did love the characters personalities especially the friendship Coco and Lana build so quickly and Poppy was too die for.
I am looking forward to Cam and Lana's book because the little snippets we got were really cute.
This book would be great if you're into:
- hockey player/figure skater
- single dad
- sports romance
The blurb for this book had me seriously hyped for a somewhat 'typical' hockey romance.
I was so disappointed that it just didn't deliver what I'd hoped for from it.
I was easily distracted and the story didn't keep my interest for any length of time, meaning I walked away and came back several times before actually finishing.
It's a real shame when a book from a new-to-me author disappoints!
