Jules Rae

Wow this was a great read. Omoye went through some trauma. That no child should go through. I loved how Lucas also had Omoye's back through thick and thin. He was a true friend. Mrs. Johnson character made me angry. You will need your tissues for this book. Beautiful cover and Jules Rae is a new author to me.

I loved that this book spoke of the troubles of the world. And how it’s not about the ending we want but sometimes the endings we get.

This book is the first one I have read by this author. His Goodpuck Charm is the first story in a series and details a dark romance set in the world of professional ice hockey. The book is nicely detailed and has a dual point of view. Ana Sheen has struggled for most of her life....she is taking care of her younger brother and acting as an ATM for her father's addictions. When she lands a job with a hockey franchise as a physiotherapist, she has to work closely with the team's star, a recently injured Luka Kuznetsov, Luka has a pregame ritual that he feels that Ana will be able to help him to maintain. Luka and Ana both have childhood trauma which makes love a faraway fantasy. Will parental interference, their pain and Luka's rituals keep love out of the equation? I liked the premise of this story and appreciated the twists and turns of the plot. I was expecting a different kind of conflict.
