He hasn’t scored in 3 games and it’s starting to freak him out. Enter Bella, who strikes a deal with an assistant coach to pretend to be a curse-breaker to pay off her training expenses from her days as a competitive figure skater. Everything is looking up for both of them.

This is probably a personal problem but I can't separate any character named Bella from Twilight. Aside from that. I found the overall story very cute and I found myself smiling a lot throughout the book. I wish she was on the ice more as it would have given more depth to her character.

I always love a man written by a woman - but sometimes it came off as too obvious. (too unattainable - because men are NOT written by women in real life, unfortunately lol).

All in all, it was cute, spicy and an enjoyable read.

This has been sitting on my TBR pile for a while, so I thought I’d give it a shot (insert hockey pun). It’s really cute, with very likable characters, and a well-rounded supporting cast. There’s a very unnecessary 11th hour breakup that took me out of the story flow for a bit, but the book was wrapped up satisfactorily. I’ll probably read the next in the series when it releases.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley.

Ever get pucked in the face by a cute hockey player? A wayward slapshot will do that to you.

With quick-witted dialogue and fun characters, author Daily brings us single professional hockey dad Logan and single figure skater, Coco.

Unlike the 1992 hockey/figure skater movie of the same name, these two find common ground pretty quickly, despite his puck putting her in the ER. Their relationship is fun to watch develop and their chemistry is undeniable. Get your coffee ready because you'll. have a book hangover after this one.

This sexy sports romance is the first of the St. Pete Slashers series.

I received an ARC from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

Honestly, I DNF this book. It started in a really nice way, the plot was nice and got me all excited, but things started to go the wrong way: it's stuck in one place, and as far as I read, they did not leave the hospital. The whole book seemed to be happening at that place, and it got pretty boring, the story, overall.
The writing, well, it had a lot of spelling errors, repeated words and sentences. To be honest, I tried to enjoy it, but it felt impossible to do so.

Thank you, NetGalley for the Arc.

Another okay read
Perfect book to curl up with and to get lost in
Will have you hooked from the first page
Thanks NetGalley

What a fun read…had a little depth to it compared to other romance novels. Interested in re@ding the next one!

This book is a cute, low-stakes romantic comedy which employs popular tropes to deliver a lighthearted and fun experience to the reader. It's not the next classic novel, but there's no harm in enjoying a bit of a treat now and then.

**A Heartwarming Tale of Deception, Luck, and Love**

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lisa Daily's "The Cutting Edge" skillfully combines the thrill of professional sports, the excitement of romance, and the tension of hidden secrets, resulting in a compelling read that keeps you hooked until the very end.

At the heart of the story is Logan Rivers, a pro hockey player facing the challenges of a daunting slump. Daily paints an authentic picture of his struggles, making him a relatable and endearing character. When Coco, the aspiring Olympic figure skater, enters his life as a lucky charm, their connection sparks a delightful chemistry that leaps off the pages.

The premise, while seemingly typical, takes an interesting twist with Coco's hidden agenda. Her dilemma creates a tension that lingers in the background, adding depth to the plot. As she juggles her secret and her growing feelings for Logan, the story becomes a rollercoaster of emotions, keeping readers on the edge of their seats.

What makes this novel truly enjoyable is the well-developed characters. Logan's vulnerability and Coco's determination make them incredibly likable. Their personal growth throughout the story is both heartwarming and inspiring. The supporting cast, including the assistant coach and fellow players, adds layers to the narrative, enhancing the overall reading experience.

Lisa Daily's writing style is engaging, with vivid descriptions that bring the world of professional sports to life. The tension on the ice and the emotional turmoil behind the scenes are portrayed with finesse, immersing readers into the high-stakes world of professional athletics.

As the playoffs loom, the anticipation builds, and the question of whether Coco will reveal her secret keeps the reader engaged until the final pages. The pacing is well-executed, and the resolution is satisfying, tying up loose ends and delivering a heartfelt conclusion.

In summary, "The Cutting Edge" is a delightful blend of sports, romance, and intrigue. While the theme of deception adds a layer of complexity, it ultimately serves to highlight the importance of honesty and communication in relationships. If you enjoy stories of love, redemption, and the triumph of honesty, this book is a must-read. Lisa Daily has crafted a compelling narrative that will leave you with a smile on your face and a warm feeling in your heart.

I wanted to love this one I really did, if you know me then you’ll know I’m obsessed with a hockey romance but erm!! This appeared ONCE in this whole book! How can it be a hockey romance if it appears only once. I felt the story was slow and drawn out and could definitely have had things cut of but listen if you want an insta love single dad romance this one is for you it just wasn’t the one for me.

I just think I’m realising insta love is not my cup of tea 😢

Thanks so much to Siesta Key and Lisa Daily for the ARC copy of this book. Such a good quick Hockey romance book. If you love any type of Hockey romancey books this one is for you! This is my first Lisa Daily Book I have read and am definitely looking forward to reading more of her work.

I wanted to love this book. I mean, figure skater + hockey player romance is - as a figure skater myself - kind of my favorite thing.

But it was terrible, and very obvious that the author didn't do much research into hockey or figure skating. The timing of events in the book were so off. The figure skater is preparing for national as the hockey player is in the playoffs for the Stanley Cup. Uh, nope. She also wears a dress to skate in while she's coaching, which does *not* happen. Most my coaches look like human marshmallows, even or especially while coaching kids. I'll allow the whole "hockey wives and girlfriends flying privately to away games" because damn, that's cute. But pretty sure that's not happening either.

Anyway, if you don't know anything about figure skating or hockey and want a cute but ridiculous romance, I'd probably give it 3.5 stars. but for me, it's a two star read, a "meh, don't bother reading this". It lit up my skater girls' group chat for all the wrong reasons.

I was provided an ARC copy of this book through Netgalley. My thanks to the publisher and the author for providing it to me.

This was a fun if slightly predictable rom com. The banter was great and the characters were well written. Sometimes, all you need is a nice, trope-y book, and this did the trick!

A cute and easy to binge hockey romance. I rated it 3 stars.

A bit of a hard read due to needing further proofreading, but the story had me smiling a bunch as I read it and the cheese factor was high!

Coco is a witty FMC and Logan is a golden retriever of a MMC. Together they make for a cute pairing, and 5 year old Poppy is adorable and oh so smart. I wish there had. been more Poppy in the 2nd half of the book because she was a really cute and well written kid.

I love sport romances and did enjoy this one.

This book was so stinking cute. It was really endearing at first but it was a bit grating towards the end!

Both Logan and Poppy were great main characters but there wasn't much plot other than their relationship

I would've liked to see more hockey since this was deemed "hockey romance" angst and character development.

Still a great fun read!

Hockey player Logan and figure skater Coco have you hooked in The Cutting Edge. They navigate feelings on and off the ice. It's a sweet and light hearted read that will have you not wanting to put the book down.

This book was cute. It was super cheesy and at times I found it unrealistic, I would've liked to see more angst and character development. This book is advertised as a hockey romance but there wasn't much hockey. I loved Logans relationship with Poppy, it was extremely sweet. Overall it was cute and I would recommend it to someone who is dipping their toes in sports romance. As someone who reads a lot of them this didn't feel like a true sports romance in my opinion. It was just about a guy who happened to be a hockey player.

Unfortunately the quality of the ARC I received contained mostly blocked out sections, even re-booting and another download didn’t make a difference. So it made for very difficult reading and I was unable to understand any of the story.

I will always love hockey romances. I really enjoyed this book. I loved all the tropes and how they were written. Would definitely recommend it to other sports romance lovers.

The Flyers season beings tomorrow so it felt like the right time to review this baby. This was fun, lighthearted and has a silly meet-cute. This was short (under 250 pages) and I think it was the perfect amount of story. The single father trope was different in this one and very enjoyable - I love a funny kid character. What I really want to know - are NHL players are allowed to have their phones on the bench during game? Can you fly after having a skull injury?

While there were some sweet moments in this book, it mostly missed the mark for me. I understand that it's an ARC, but it needs some heavy editing. There were moments of nearly identical sentences and sentiments just a few pages apart. I did find Coco and Logan to be charming if completely unbelieveable and look forward to Cam and Lana's book.
