Gersande La Flèche reviewed Wake up, Nat and Darcy by Kate Cochrane (Puck Struck, #1)
Cut from the U.S. women’s hockey team right before her third chance at gold, Natalie …
Puisque tous le monde veut voir des hockeyeuses en amour...
4 stars
For what it is, it's a fun read. Some bits of Nat in particular were very well executed and compelling. Second chance romances (un peu à la Persuasion de Austen) are in particular a special interest of mine, so I could not not love to see this one.
It does, however, contain my writing technique arch-nemesis: NOOOOOOO to flashback chapters! (I don't know why but 2025 was the year I decided I really disliked almost all iterations of this technique and while it was more tolerable here than in most things, I still was very annoyed. Mon royaume pour un second chance romance sans chapitre flashback!!)
