A Good Puck: a sapphic hockey romance by Rochelle Wolf (Love on the Podium #2)

It's time to head back to Milan for our second Love on the Podium!  This time it's a women's hockey player from Toronto meeting the right person!

From the blurb:

It was just supposed to be one night. Just a good puck to forget all about the stress of her upcoming hockey game…

Charlie Lajoie is no stranger to hard work. One of the best players in the PWHL for the Toronto Succubi and the daughter of one of the best hockey players in the world, there’s a lot of pressure for her to succeed on Team Canada in the Milan Winter Games.

When Olive Miller is unceremoniously dumped by her girlfriend before their big Italy vacation, she decides to go on it alone to finally get the long-awaited break from work she so desperately needs.

A night of rest and relaxation is what both women need, and who better to turn to than a fellow Torontonian in Italy? What starts as one night to release some stress quickly turns into more as Charlie can’t help but fall for Olive. But can their whirlwind fling go from a good puck to lasting an entire season?

From cozy sapphic author Rochelle Wolf comes a new hockey romance full of high heat and low stakes.

A Good Puck is part of the Love On The Podium shared queer romance series.

Heather's Review:

I had a great time reading this fairly short novel set in Milan during the upcoming Olympics, especially since they have a hometown connection for me, as both characters reside in Toronto when they aren't jetting off to Milan for vacation or the Olympics!  I enjoyed their meet-cute and the way their relationship progressed from vacation fling...

I did struggle with the fact that Olive was in Milan for a 'regular' vacation during the Olympics and I would have liked to see more about Charlie's revelations, but as a quick and sporty read, this definitely put me in the mood to watch more women's hockey at the Olympics!  I can't wait to see what's up next for this multi-author series!
