Small Town hockey romance
When ice hockey player Weston meets New York City girl Fiona in Soulmates and Slapshots by Melissa Baldwin, the 6th book in the Love in Maple Falls Series, they immediately have a connection: both are new to Maple Falls so they know what it is to be new in a small town. Weston is relocated to the Ice Breakers team and he is a bit insecure, as he wants to do his best but thinks he has to do better. Fiona is staying with her aunt, as her job is on the line and she had a bad break up as well.
This book was a joy to read. With each book in this series, you get to know Maple Falls better. Melissa Baldwin writes in such a way that you see it all before your eyes: the small town, the colouring leaves, the stores, the people. Weston is a great character. He loves his sport and the relationship with his teammates is just wonderful. The Ice Breakers are a great team and the whole town supports them. The scenes with the games are great, everyone shows up and you can feel the energy. Fiona is a big city girl, but as time goes by, she loves the quiet of Maple Falls and does not know if she should stay or go back to New York. It does not help that her best friend calls her frequently to come back home.
The first meeting between Weston and Fiona is a lovely meet-cute. They become friends instantly, but Weston feels more from the very start, but also gives Fiona time to make up her mind. This all made for great reading and I had a really hard time putting the book down.
The writing is flowing, and there are lots of great scenes and humour in this book. But all things are not well in Maple Falls and Fiona wants to help out as she has come to love the town. I still am wondering who this mystery guy is who is upsetting the town. Maybe we will learn that in the last book?
Fiona’s aunt I loved the best. She is a great character, loves hockey and the Ice Breakers and from her Fiona (and I) learned a lot about ice hockey.
Soulmates and Slapshots is a great addition to a lovely sweet romantic small-town hockey romances series, with the small-town Maple Falls as décor and I have come to love this town more with each book that I read. I will be sorry when it all comes to an end.
So, if you love a good clean small-town series, these are the books you want to read.
