This was a hockey player/ice skater single dad romance!

I loved how respectful Logan was the entire book- but then when he needed to show his gruffness it was so cute (imo). I definitely had to try hard to like Coco - I felt like she came off as selfish (even from the start when she gave Poppy her protein bar then was like damn I shouldn’t have offered) and the book overall was too slow for my liking. I read A LOT of hockey books (call me a connoisseur if you will LOL) but some things were just off and weird - Logan’s practice times, the reality of how much time he was away from the game and the team to be with Coco- I also felt like 60% of the book was in the hospital and about Coco- I also felt like her “relationship” with Poppy was very instalove and became so serious out of nowhere.

All in all, I liked the general overview but think that some things could have been fine tuned.

thank you to NetGalley for sending me an ARC copy of this book in exchange for a honest review!

I was super excited to read this by Lisa Daily. I had read other hockey romances right before this one and loved this one so much from the moment I started. Every time I spotted a troupe I feel deeper and deeper into the rabbit hole. A very cute, very sweet read.
There was:
Instant love troupe
(dare I say, he falls first and she falls harder?)
Single Dad
Fade to black scene
Might be part of a series?
HEA

And what's better than a happily ever after? Nothing. I loved it and the way both characters understood each other when it came to the importance of their careers and encouraging the other to go for their dreams? At one point it felt like the scene with Flynn and Rapunzel when he told her "you are my new dream" and she goes, "and you were mine".

Thank you to the author for the story (!!!) and to NetGalley for the opportunity to read it in the first place.

I tried. I really did try my best to read this book. From first glance it seemed like the perfect book for me. Someone says ice hockey romance and I’ll be throwing stars left and right at them. But from the first chapter alone it was obvious it needed some heavy editing. I’ve read fan fiction that’s better written than this and it just put me off reading anymore.

Thanks netgalley for providing the ARC

There were so many cute moments, and I absolutely loved the relationship between the main characters. Even though their first meeting wasn't the best of terms, I feel like Coco and Logan were a match made in heaven.

Overall, a very cute sports romance, and I love all of the characters and I will definitely be on the lookout for Cam and Lana's story next in Cold Feet.

I am such a sucker for sports romance but specifically Hockey. This book and these characters managed to bring something fun and unique to a niche topic that I read about regularly, overall I enjoyed reading this book.

Such an adorable single dad sports romance! I loved everything about this and it was such a fun read! I absolutely can’t wait for the next book!

The Cutting Edge is a fun Hockey Romance. Coco and Logan have good chemistry and I was looking forward to them figuring out their issues. Poppy is a sweet addition to the story as Logan’s daughter.

I was gifted this ARC by NetGalley and Siesta Key for an honest opinion.

Cute, hockey romance. I'm a sucker for sports romance... especially hockey. This is much tamer than most sports romances which was great. Logan and Bella are easy to like and I think it's a bonus that Logan is a single dad!! Logan did have an insta- love for Bella that was a little different but all in all there was great banter and just an overall cute story.

I truly enjoyed every aspect of this read! From that fateful hit taken by the hockey puck, to the falling in love that we experience, this was fun and light-hearted, and kept me laughing and feeling the love the entire time I was reading.

I feel that Lisa Daily did a beautiful job building the story and allowing us to take part in this beautiful story of finding love. Highly, highly recommended!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me the opportunity to read an arc in return for an honest review.

Such a cute, fluffy, hockey romance! This was easy to read and the characters were very likable from the start. I prefer more on page spice but that’s just my preference. I look forward to more books in the series!

" 'I'm no goalie, but I've got you covered if you decide to pull a Pretty Woman and send your dinner flying across the room.' "

When Coco is late to pick up her friend from the hospital, she goes on a mission to find Poppy's dad, Logan, who was late to pick Poppy up. After a hockey puck incident, she lands in the hospital, and when fate intertwines, Logan, Coco and Poppy's lives change for the better.

There were so many cute moments, and I absolutely loved their relationship. I feel like Coco and Logan were a match made in heaven, even if their first meeting wasn't the best of terms.

Going into this, I expected a heavier emphasis on their sports, Coco's figure skating, and Logan in the National Hockey League. There was some key moments that we saw with Logan, and him playing in the games, but I wanted more with Coco. More moments of her practicing, her performing, the tricks and impressing the boys.

Me being a hockey fan, I immediately knew I wanted to read it, but of course, there's going to be inconsistencies, which I tried to overlook.

Overall, a very cute sports romance, and I love all of the characters and I will definitely be on the lookout for Cam and Lana's story next in Cold Feet.

tropes // sports romance, he falls first, NHL captain, Olympic bound figure skater, single dad

tw // medical content, panic attacks, sexual content, death (off screen, mentioned), violence

I love a good hockey romance, and this was just that. Plus, the fact that HE is the single parent in the book was, honestly, a refreshing twist. I feel like a lot of the 'single parent' characters in contemporary romances are single mothers, so this was nice.

I enjoyed reading this book, and I'm such a sucker for the "he falls first" trope and I had enough fun while reading it to kind of gloss over the fact that I got a touch annoyed by the conflict in the third act. It was enough to make me like "come on, now..." but not enough to make me dock my rating, or even DNF the book.

This was just a super cute romance book. I liked that she already had a relationship with his daughter, it made it easy for him to trust her. My one thing is that the version I read needed more editing, there were a lot of errors that are super easy to fix.

There was somewhat of an insta love thing going on and that’s not my thing. The fact that he’s a single dad to his niece is cute but with the first half of the story covering 3 days of just them interacting in the hospital you don’t get to see that aspect as much as I’d like. The banter is good but sometimes it’s just a bit repetitive. Overall good story, cute and super fast read

3.5⭐️ | 1🌶️

I love sports romances, especially Hockey so of course I had to pick up this one when it came by on Netgalley. (Did I read and forget to review it? Yes. I did 🫣 but I’m here now!)

It’s a fun, Insta-love between a single dad- Logan and Coco- an Olympic figure skater who is teaching kids while she makes her way to an Olympic gold medal. One of her students, Poppy, is the most adorable little girl with the hottest dad ever. One day, when Poppy's dad is late to pick her up, she decides to go find him within the facility, since they both work at the same stadium. When they both happen to enter a restricted zone, a puck comes flying and knocks Coco out. Her story with Logan begins when she wakes up in the hospital with him by her side.

The romance in this book is fast paced, which doesn’t go hand in hand with the plot which is seemingly slow paced. I had high hopes with this ice skating x hockey romance, but while we saw a lot of hockey we don’t get to see much of ice skating.

The banter between the 2 MCs is super cute. It was, however, the only thing that kept me interested. While it’s a decent book, I felt it could've been much better.

Thanks NetGallery and Lisa Daily for giving me an ARC in exchange for an honest review

“𝑰 𝒅𝒐𝒖𝒃𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕,” 𝒔𝒂𝒚𝒔 𝑳𝒐𝒈𝒂𝒏. “𝒀𝒐𝒖’𝒓𝒆 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒅 𝒐𝒇 𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒐𝒏 𝒘𝒉𝒐’𝒔 𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒚 𝒕𝒐 𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒈𝒆𝒕.”

A single dad, insta love, sport romance very fun to read.

The plot caught my attention and has lived up to my expectations. The story has a very funny beginning that makes you keep reading.

I don't usually like insta love, but I think this one is very well done. From the beginning you can see how Coco and Logan get attached since they spend so much time together at the hospital.

The aspects I liked about the book were:
• Logan and Poppy's relationship is extremely adorable.
• They are both professional athletes and share their passion and sacrifice for their sport.
• They help each other to overcome their difficulties.

However, there are some aspects that could be improved:
• Most of the book takes place in the hospital, I would have liked to see Coco on the ice more.
• I would have liked to see more tension, as Logan never got mas despite Coco's attitude.

It's an entertaining read with a fun ice hockey story. I'm looking forward to reading Cam's love story.

This is literally the cutest/sweetest little story! It definitely has a steady and slow burn going on, but for this storyline, I thought it worked out perfectly.

Poppy and Logan are a sweet father-daughter duo (SINGLE DAD, OKAYYYY!) with Logan being an NHL superstar, of course, and Poppy a figure-skating student of Coco's, whose an Olympic ice skater. ⛸️

Coco and Logan bond over an unfortunate accident that happened with Poppy, and quite honestly, you could see the chemistry there from the beginning.

I love romances, especially hockey romances, so this really hit the nail on the head for me in pretty much every area. I cannot wait to read more of her books! 💕🥰

This is a quick and enjoyable single dad sport romance.

There were so many great extra characters from Mrs Marham to Marissa to the hockey team to poppy. The daughter was adorable - she reminded me of Rosie from we bought a zoo! She was a great addition to the story.

I felt a bit weird about how quickly she seemed to be interested in him again after she was being paid, it just felt a bit odd. But that is the premise of the book and the author did try and explain the change in emotions so if your intrigued by the plot of the book you shouldn't have any problems with it.

It was a quick paced romance where he falls first. Logan and Cocos romance was enjoyable, if your looking for a quick good read you can't go far wrong with this one.

Thank you for the advanced copy. I thought this was a cute book. Logan and Coco are fun, and I like seeing their communication and growth. I don't normally read many new adult books, so this was a little out of my comfort zone. However, if you like romance, I'd try it.

Looking forward to reading more from this author.

Cute concept! I loved how the main characters were introduced in the story and evolved throughout the book. Quick, easy, happy read.
