It had a cheesy setup and a somewhat predictable plot but that’s somewhat expected now for me in this genre and not something I hold against it as much anymore as I used to. It’s somewhat comforting and as long as there are still details that are surprising me, I’m happy.I liked both of the MCs a lot and really enjoyed their energy. The pining was a bit much sometimes but I really liked how they continued to support each other in various ways and helped each other grow. I liked the roles the side characters played in both their histories as well as their present and the mental health rep was a nice inclusion, both with its effects on the character suffering with its consequences and the impact it had on a family member.I originally started the book because I heard it was really spicy. It did take a while to get to that but once they got started, it got hot pretty quickly. I liked how their respect and support for each other was carried through in those scenes while also taking their fun attributes to a higher (hotter) level. Really fun.I’m looking forward to the next one and already have it downloaded on my kindle. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars did not disappoint! *by A***E on Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2024* 4.75⭐️This was my first time reading Stephanie Archer's work, and it did not disappoint. The tension between Pippa and Jamie was the most memorable aspect of this book for me. You could slice it with a knife. The mutual longing was so endearing. These two elements together will make the reader desperately want them to be together.It was crazy how spicy the spice was. I had to go over several of the scenes multiple times because I was so shocked by what I was seeing. I was pleased with Pippa and Jamie's communication.Jamie Streicher was such a grumpy character at the beginning, which I adored. I loved how devoted to Pippa he was and how he would stop at nothing to keep her safe. I adored Pippa and her positive vibes.I'm not sure what it is about the Grumpy x Sunshine trope, but it always gets to me. It's so lovely to watch how the grump begins to reveal their inner light when the sunshine enters their lives. It was really great to see in this book. They just perfectly counterbalanced one another.Stephanie Archer’s writing is so character-driven and she did such a good job at balancing spice, humor, and the hockey world.If you enjoy hockey romances, spice, a protective MMC, and the grumpy x sunshine trope, please read this. ### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars “I’d buy you every guitar in the city if I thought you’d let me.” *by D***Y on Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2024* This is a super cute sports romance featuring a Pro Hockey player and an aspiring songwriter who recently got dumped by her high school boyfriend after going on tour with him and his band.I think my favorite character is Pippa’s older sister Hazel just because of this line.“It’s not your body. Your coochie knew Zach was a colossal loser.”It’s so me-coded I just couldn’t help but crack up at this whole conversation.Something that made me not give this book a 4 stars: • The amount of times Jamie referred to Pippa as his “pretty assistant” like so many times in his head as if it was sexy but really it was just cringe. 😬• The way Jamie kept pushing Pippa away because he thought he couldn’t take care of his mom while also being in a relationship..?..?? I was confused about that one.Anyways, overall cute romcom and fast read.⭐️⭐️⭐️/5🌶️🌶️.5/5Give it a shot and see if you end up loving it! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/537370507-behind-the-net-a-grumpy-sunshine-hockey-romance](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/537370507-behind-the-net-a-grumpy-sunshine-hockey-romance) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-04-29*
