GENRE: Contemporary Romance
TROPE: Forbidden Romance
RELEASE DATE: September 1st, 2022
From the outside looking in, I live a charmed life: hockey legend for a father, my own promising future in the league, a great family, awesome friends. It’s not untrue, but it’s not quite that simple either.
My dad’s advice has always been to make hockey my number-one priority—at least until I make it to the pros. So, going into my senior year of college, I have a plan. I’ll put in the effort required to pass my classes, play hockey like my life depends on it, and avoid relationships. All I have to do is stay focused on the end game, and I’ll walk away with a degree and into a career in the NHL.
It should be easy.
But when a woman literally floats into my dock, just before summer ends and my senior year begins, I can’t resist one last hookup. What harm could a one-night stand do? It’s not like we even exchanged numbers.
Everything is fine until I run into her on campus.
It’s a big school. I should be able to avoid her.
Except she happens to be in my class.
And she’s not a student.
She’s my professor.

Bitter Sweet Heart was such a beautiful surprise! I expected this story to be good, but I didn't know how amazing it would be. It was really profound and romantic with moments of humor as it's the norm with Helena Hunting (aka H. Hunting).
Maverick was really a great hero. I loved how he was so thoughtful and selfless toward not only his love interest, Clover, but also his family. I enjoyed being in his head and discovering his doubts about the future and slowly watching him open up to Clover about it. I liked reading about Clover's struggles about her conflicting feelings for Maverick who is almost a decade younger than her. Her head and heart were definitely at war. This couple truly had a special bond that was purely gorgeous! They connected on a deeper level than just physically. Their forbidden romance was lovely.
All the side characters brought so much depth to the novel. I loved, loved, loved the conversations between Maverick and his parents and sister, Lavender. They were filled with hilarity but also so much emotion. All the other members of the Pucked family featured in the book made this read memorable! I hope for more books in the Lies, Hearts & Truths Series!
