A college hockey romance from bestselling authors S. Massery and S.J. Sylvis.
Sticks and stones may break our bones…Hockey is my life.
After Wren Davis puts my dreams of the NHL in jeopardy, I vow to make her life hell if she ever comes near me again.
But she’s my best friend’s foster sister, and even though they don’t live together anymore, their bond is still tight, which makes avoiding each other extra difficult.
Especially when I show up at Shadow Valley University and learn my new room comes with an unwelcome addition: Wren Davis.
As much as I try to make her life hell, she gives it right back, until she’s not just under my skin but constantly on my mind.
But some things can’t be forgiven, and fraternizing with the enemy is the last thing either of us want.

Wren grew up in a terrible home where she was made and forced to do awful things. And due to that, Wren made one life changing decision in high school that forever changed her life, her father’s life, and most importantly Stone’s life.
Now here we are years later, and Stone absolutely loathes Wren and everything about her. And he absolutely makes it known. He has never forgiven her for what she did and how it affected his life. But they are forced to share a room with only one bed for the time being.
Jabs and harsh words are exchanged daily, and it isn’t until something comes back to haunt Wren that things change for them. But once they do, all that hate turns into passion. And their chemistry is absolutely fire when things change for them. But will they be able to continue this, or will the lies and trust fail them once again?
Wren and Stone are typical college kids and that made this so real – all of the vitriol that they would spit back and forth was awful to read because I just felt so hard for these characters. But it just showed how real and raw these characters were from their experiences. I fell in love with Stone the first time he was possessive over Wren – he was awful to her day in and day out, but the second he thought something unsavory was going on, he was there. And that made me SWOON!
I loved the found family aspect of this book and how all of his hockey teammates and her foster brother were there for both of them unconditionally. I am hoping to read about them in the future!
Now let’s talk about the narrators – absolutely perfect for these characters! Alex Kydd is the epitome of an angry college kid and I love whenever he narrates one. He embodies the emotions and the angst that you feel coming from his character. Keria Stevens narrated Wren amazingly – especially in the emotional parts of this book. I was tearing up at times because of the anguish that Wren was going through.
I can’t wait to read more books by these authors in the future and to hear more books narrated by these narrators!
Perfect enemies to lovers book!

Stone has always called Wren sticks since she's a foster child and skinny from always being hungry. He's best friends with her foster brother, but something happens that makes him have a hate for Wren.
Now years later both Wren and Stone need a place to stay and her foster brother offers them both the same room at his place, but doesn't tell them until they show up. Now under the same roof and at the same place hatred, but feelings also start to develop.
I loved the banter between both characters. Also how he wants to hate her, but also wants to protect her.
I'm excited for the next book in the series. I'm sure I'll devour it just as I did this one!
