Heerlijk romantisch boek met humor

In Head over Skates by Gigi Blume ice hockey player Owen gets into a fake relationship with Zamboni driver Emily to uncover a theft.

Now that I have read this book I understand what the hype is about hockey romance novels, because this was such a great book to read! I loved Emily, she is sassy, but hides a secret. And Owen is just fantastic, he is a great hockey player, and so loyal to his little brother. They have such a great chemistry and I loved their interactions and growing relationship.

The writing style is flowing and easy to read, the dual POV makes this book even more interesting and romantic. The side characters are wonderful as well and I really hope they will be in another novel about the Toronto Titans.

Needless to say, that after I have read this great novel I will definitely read more books by Gigi Blume, because she has a wonderful funny writing style, and her characters are fantastic. In Head over Skates they just leap off the pages. The worldbuilding about ice hockey is described in such a way, that even readers who don’t know much about ice hockey, totally can understand this sport, the allure of hockey players, and the setting of the ice rink.

I enjoyed reading Head over Skates enormously and was a bit sad I had finished it. I can totally recommend this book and I am so looking forward to reading more about the Toronto Titans and novels by Gigi Blume.

Highly recommended to every reader who loves a good humorous (hockey) romance story.
