THE STORY

She was a laughingstock. A hippie. A tree-hugger. A granola, crunchy, millennial who worried about how her food was grown and what she put into her body and GMOs and . . . Had a secret chocolate addiction. Because even though she cared about all of those things, a girl had to live too. And Rebecca couldn’t live her life without 90% Cacao Super Dark Chocolate.
 
Addictions aside, it was her job to help keep the players on the San Francisco Gold healthy and she was damned good at it, so her hippie, granola background (and maybe also her PhD in Nutritional Sciences) had come in handy, at least to some degree. Especially since the team had taken home the league’s top prize last season. Unfortunately, not everyone thought her contributions were important. In fact, some people—cough one Dr. Gabe Carter—thought her position with the team was unnecessary. He thought her diet was too restrictive, her meal plan too out there. He’d actually told Rebecca that her program hadn’t been an important factor in the Gold’s successful season. But dammit, she knew she’d made a difference with the team, knew her work was important, and it didn’t matter that Gabe was gorgeous and a talented doctor, he still didn’t have any right to— Kiss her.
 
No. Kiss her or make her feel small. Yes, that. The second one. He was a jerk. She didn’t like him or care about his opinions and she definitely wasn’t in love with him. Definitely hadn’t been in love with him the moment she’d laid eyes on him— Sigh. She definitely was. And to make matters worse? Gabe knew.

I am a newer fan of this author and I have only read one previous book in this series, but I was easily able to follow this story even without reading the other books in the series.

In this story we meet Rebecca, she is the teams nutritionist and we meet Dr. Gabe who is the teams doctor. Rebecca has decided the team needs to go Vegan to help them play hockey better and Gabe calls her out in a meeting about this issue.

So there is a little hate on at the start of this story. But its not a hate to love romance. Gabe actually after he looks into it finds that it is a great idea and he goes to Rebecca and wants to form a friendship and this story is actually more a friends to lovers story than anything else.

Before I go on I want to tell you, I have never read a story like this ever before. I have read hockey romances and even doctor romances but I have never read a story about a character that has so many issues but still tries to lead a normal life like Rebecca. Gabe was in awe of her in this story and so was I. I am very impressed with the author and how she wrote this very unique storyline.

Rebecca has anxiety. Not pop a pill anxiety but where she is anxious in any and all social situations. But she pushes herself and she has managed to make a wonderful life for herself . Enter Gabe who really likes her but also sees this and realizes that she needs friendship before anything else.
